I hope what I said did not sound like I was discounting the path you are on Theresa. I think it is wonderful and will help. I am just not there yet.

I am on the me train too, I know that. But it has been only a little more than a month. I am still picking up the pieces.

Bluebell, that day was awful the finality of it, I cried terribly, I remembered when she leased her car 6 months ago she said to the salesman, what if I die before the lease is over and I said stop it mom....crazy.
Last year I felt like I was in a fog a haze to say
I will say my heart still aches, but today my yoga instructor said to everyone its time to get off the "me" train.......and I know I have been on it for quite a while, my hurt is for me not for my mom, I am sad for me.
I pray and keep my faith for God to give me strength and carry me through this horrible time in my life.
My instructor also said something very deep, tell me what you think he means because I am still thinking it over, he said to everyone "what was your name before your mom and dad were born"
He is on you tube if you want to check him out his name is Johnny Gillespie - Empowered Yoga he is the owner of two studios, I can say yoga has helped me through this.
Thanks Nancy and Theresa. It's funny when my grandmother passed away, my mom kept a blouse that she wore. The odd time she would wear it. My mom kept it 27 years and than my mom passed away and I saw the blouse in the closet. I took it knowing the sentimental value of it and put it in some plastic. I could still smell my mom on it. It's not the clothes but the memories attached to them. I'm sure donating your mom's belongings was very hard.
When you think about it, your parents are the longest relationship you have (depending on circumstances) so their memory will be attached from a favorite meal, a piece of clothing, a song, a smell...I could go on but they are so entwined in our lives. Having to say goodbye to a loved one that has been there since your first breath until their last dying breath is not an easy and I don't believe that you ever get over it. My mom and I are best friends, we fought, laughed and loved. Did everything together and I lived with her until I was about 32 and we were going to move back in together just before she got sick. Miss is probably not an accurate word, maybe lost or longing.

Such a couple of bad days for me. Mom's belongings being donated was such a huge trigger for me. I had no idea it would be so intense. I am so discouraged. I am wondering if it will ever get better.
How did you feel when you turned in your Mom's rental car? Was it really intense? Do you remember how long it took you to recover from it?
I think I need a big dose of hope that it will get better and I will not be stuck in the emotional state that I am in right now.
Bluebell
Bluebell, I donated my moms clothes quickly and I kept a large bin I bought at Home Depot with my keepsakes in it.
My mom leased a car and when I brought it back it really hit me more than anything.
Some days are worse than others I guess I will never stop missing her.
Nancy,
It is just ripping me apart tonight. Maybe it was too soon. But what is done is done. I do not feel very amazing tonight, but thank you.
