Danny, you are right.  I will never be the same.  I am a different person. I used to be a happy person.  Now, I am sad all the time.   It is hard to believe that my adorable mom passed away.  I think about her every day.  I cry every day.

yes nothing will ever be the same..just hard finding a purpose but that's ok. At your own pace...am still looking for answers

Comment by Danny on October 28, 2015 at 2:52pm

yes megan.  Acute grief may not be as intense however we live with the grief basically but just try to function and keep it in a way so that we dont break down or cry all the time

Yes, indeed Megan. It touched my soul while reading the quote you posted. So beautiful, and true.

Thank you.

Wonderful quote--thanks for sharing this.

Comment by Megan on October 28, 2015 at 5:42am

Hi everyone,

I came across this quote from 'Lament for a Son' and I thought I would share it. I find it to be an apt description for how grief feels to me.

"Rather often I am asked whether the grief remains as intense as when I wrote. The answer is, No. The wound is no longer raw. But it has not disappeared. That is as it should be. If he was worth loving, he is worth grieving over.

Grief is existential testimony to the worth of the one loved. That worth abides. So I own my grief. I do not try to put it behind me, to get over it, to forget it… Every lament is a love-song."

Hugs to you all. x

Hi all,

Margie, I relate to what you said. My mom and I lived 5 hours apart and every holiday/break/vacation we drove to see her. I just passed the one year anniversary of her death Oct. 21 (hardest day yet for me other than when she passed) and it was hard this year. I was use to always visiting her so I did not know how to even make other plans. My family is spread out so there is not one place to go. I can feel myself already dreading the upcoming holidays (sounds like a lot of us feel the same way). It is such a huge reminder of her not being here anymore.

Honest, after Mom passed I do not "celebrate" the holidays. Just give thanks for the ones when Mom was on this earthly plane. Nothing is ever the same.

It's nearly 3 months since Mom died, and my father wants me to come over and clear out all of Mom's things:  clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, etc.   I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready to do that, yet at the same time, I feel I have to help my father by taking on this daunting task.   How have you faced this?

Yes, it is very difficult. The only consolation I had was that the clothes, etc. would be donated to the needy. The rest, I have yet to go thru. Maybe, put in boxes what you would like to go through at a later time if you have the space. It is over three years for me, and I still have not gone thru everything. Have turned Mom's room into a chapel where I light candles, incense and pray.

Christmas break, Thanksgiving break, Spring Break, Summer break.  I always went to visit my mom during all my breaks. She was living in Florida.  Now, what?  No mom to visit during my breaks. Just thinking about it while writing this makes me cry.   I asked God everyday why she took her.  It hurts, it hurts so much.  She was so happy to see me every time I visited her.   I showed her pictures and videos of her great grandchildren.  I took her to restaurants, to the beauty salon, to my brother's house.  Every time I visited her she always served my favorite meal cooked by her.   We always enjoyed our time together. Now, I feel empty.  I am thinking about not doing anything during my breaks, just stay at home thinking about her and crying.

Hello All,

I just want you to know how much your stories of your Moms mean to me. I know we're all hurting. Some times worse than others. I, too, am not looking forward to the holidays this year. In fact, I've told my children (adults) that we will be going out for Thanksgiving dinner. If I had to cook that meal (just the way I learned from my Mom), I'd probably cry through the whole thing. I'm so grateful for all she taught me; things I've passed down to my daughter and she is passing on to her daughter.

We're all in this together, so thank you to all of you for sharing your hearts here.

God bless you,

Regina

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
