Thank you Charity:)
I am a veteran in this lost battle, but God gives us strength to win the war in due time. That is to find the Peace of God.
Love everyone of you brothers and sisters united by our mothers who live on. And, wants us to help one another.
Martha:)
What you said gives me strength. I do feel a renewed sense of living as my Mama would. My Mama and I have grown our love through this journey. Her spirit is with me, loving me, always. I am only in month 9 so the pain is very intense still. I am still a zombie! sending love to all of you that are heart broken...
So true--Christmas/holidays will be hard but we'll make it through somehow. My sister passed on Christmas (and my brother was born on Christmas!), so the holidays have always been bittersweet. My mom and family would vacation to get away during the holidays. This year we won't go to Florida for vacation, so will be tough. We'll take it a day at a time and will hopefully find some peace and serenity.
Nancy, thanks for bringing this up here. I'm feeling our pain. And thank you Martha, for your kind and inspiring words.
My mom passed 4 months ago from cancer that eventually spread to her brain and elsewhere. I was caregiver and still feel a lot of guilt about the treatment and things we should have done. We admitted her to a rehab center so she could be retrained to walk well, get rests, etc. after blood clot in her legs had her hospitalized for 3 weeks. Then she developed pneumonia. All the issues in the rehab center forced me to wonder if it was a wise choice. But, we did the best we knew how as there is no instruction manual when dealing with cancer... that's for sure. I wish I could have been better in many ways, but am also glad in some ways because I know that it could have been worse somehow. I'm grateful for the joy, but it's certainly a process.
Dear Nancy:
Thank goodness you have a husband and children, and your father. Some of us do not. Nevertheless, it is so painful.
Guilt is after the loss, the absolute worse. How many times have I said to myself how I should have done this and not done that. Recognize that "the false self" in all of us feeds on that. That is not the real you which is all light and goodness. Our Moms have not forgiven us because there is nothing to forgive. They love us unconditionally and eternally.
It comforts me to know she is with me spiritually. And, we will be together in Heaven when it is my time.
Meantime, pray for strength for this ONE day. We are our mother's daughters, we must live to make them proud.
I say this now after three years. The first two I walked around like a zombie.
Peace and love,
Mart
Dear friends:
I am so very grateful for Karen who created this group.
I lost my mother April 11th, 2012 and was guided here, it helped.
My mom, my best friend, best roommate I ever had is in my thought daily. Now, I am able to function in this world but it will never be the same. Turn to your religious/ spiritual beliefs and pray for God to give you strength, and send love to Mom in heaven.
Love to everyone,
Mart
My Mama passed away January 16, 2012. I am still having a rough time trying to deal with her death. My Mama and I were the best of friends. I miss her so so much. Not a day goes by that I dont think about her. I cry all the time missing her.
Regina,
I know exactly what you are saying. I lost my mom on October 8, 2015. I cry everyday. I will have her cremains pretty soon. My brother has them right now. She never told me what she wanted me to do with them so I will keep them until the day I die. I have to go to work tomorrow and I really do not want to go. I really don't want to do anything just see her pictures and watch her videos. I will never be the same. I am not happy any more. I feel empty, very empty.
