Connie, I know, right? What a small God someone must believe in to think He couldn't or wouldn't understand the worst pain a mother could possibly be in. Love that Einstein quote. I am so dreading Mother's Day. For me it's the 3rd worst day of the year right after my daughter's birthday and the accident date.
Hugs Lynn ((( ))) Think of you often. Know you must be happy for spring to be here so you can get your hands dirty!
Jill - I agree things I always loved to do just aren't the same of course nothing is - just no joy in anything.
Patty - what a hurtful and stupid thing for someone to say to you! How dare they pass judgement on how or how long you grieve. And I do not believe in a vengeful God. No - God doesn't get angry at you for being human - he/she knows your sorrow and gives understanding and comfort Sounds like someone is projecting their own fear onto you. Why can't people just say "I'm sorry" and be kind and compassionate. as Einstein said "Everyone understands a great grief except those who are in it." They can not possibly understand how we have to go through life - but they think they do!!
I love my mom so much and am grateful to still have her but God I hate Mother's Day... so hard doing this month's newsletter. No greater joy than having my son - no greater sorrow than losing him. Thankful for that great joy
Sharing this from the newsletter:
This Mother's Day
Let us recognize all mothers.
The ones who nurture their children here on earth. The ones who carry some if not all of their children in their hearts and the ones who yearn just to conceive a child.
Jill, I know what you mean. I wish that wave of grief would drown me.
Thank you, Jesse's mom. A friend will excuse some people's behavior by saying "well, they don't know what to say, Patty." But really? Can't people give it 2 seconds of thought and do any better than that? I'm sick of feeling so alone all the time. God, I miss her so much. This gaping hole in me will never heal.
Patty, that was a terrible thing for that man to say. Sometimes I am amazed at the stupid things people will say to a bereaved parent. (just went through an incident myself)
Interesting message from George A.
Sometimes I think when I get over there, that it will be awhile before the suffering wears off...
