This is what I say to myself a lot when I cry I stop and I think my mom is happy my mom is safe she is not ill she’s not in any pain so therefore why am I crying I’m crying because I am in pain and I am sad and that’s OK you do what your body tells you to do but sometimes it helps me when I say stop don’t cry for yourself I say mom is happy and I know mom is happy

like Brett said it’s the finale we will not see them until we pass on we miss them because we love them and we are very fortunate to have that I know some people who really don’t even care I had a customer come in and say her mother was just a burden to her I was so taken back I had to sit down

I’m thankful that my mom and I had the relationship we did there was never any fights are not talking to my mom but I do say myself I should’ve done more when she was here

There are times I just want to curl up in a ball and do nothing because I hurt and I want it to stop.

Hey everyone! It's been a month and a half since my  beautiful mother and best friend got her wings.  I miss her terribly.  I lay in bed last night crying longing to hear her voice. This Christmas will be tough!

Luisa, my husband as a retired State Trooper always said if they can see it in your car they will steal it, same happened to me, but with only my purse years ago, now I leave nothing visible in my car, put it in the trunk.
Brett is right they will discard the bag.
People are evil I always wonder where do they go when they die?
The Lord says ask for his forgiveness and you shall be forgiven.
Please keep your faith.

Thanks very much Brett. You are always so kind and welcoming to everyone on this site. I managed to take a couple of steps in the right direction today as far as addressing the stolen bag. It’s a tough time of year as it is, and my job has been really busy and stressful. I told my boss today that this happening seems like a signal from the universe that I need more balance in my life. I’ve been trying to deal with my Mom’s estate on the fly, fitting errands in here and there and that is why I had everything in one bag and in the car  -  there was a bank issue I’ve been trying to deal with and I wasn’t sure what documents I would need so I just had everything. I was trying to squeeze it into a work day but it wasn’t happening. I really want to cut back to  4 days per week at work. But, we’re already short-staffed, my boss doesn’t think the clinic manager will approve it etc etc. Anyway I just have to give the whole thing to God, pray for guidance, keep putting one foot in front of the other. Bless up and big hugs - Luisa

Luisa, I actually agree that it was a bad idea to leave that information in your car, but if there is a bright side to this, it probably is that they were just looking for anything valuable. that they could turn into easy cash. More than likely they will get rid of that bag. I sure hope so. I regret that people can be so evil. And what a horrible time for you to have to experience this. I am really sorry.

PS: You don't have to post everyday for me to remember you. You are in my prayers buddy.

Hi everyone - I know that I have not posted in here for awhile, but I want you all to know that I have been reading your posts and you have all been in my thoughts as we are in this together.

I am having a terrible time today. Sunday night my car was broken into and everything in it was stolen. One of the items was a messenger bag that had ALL paperwork related to my Mom's death and estate. All of the certified death certificates, all legal information, a copy of her estate portfolio including all of hers, my brothers and my own unique identifying information (SSN etc), all of the recipients and ledgers that I've kept related to the trust account, all account information, security codes to get into her storage unit, you name it. I am just devastated and stunned by this. Like, I don't know what to do first and I feel paralyzed. Worst of all I feel like I let my Mom down. It was so stupid of me to leave it in the car!!! I called in to work this morning to tell them I probably wouldn't make it in, but so far today I've just slept, woke up and dropped my daughter off at her Dad's, then realized that I'd left the house without my wallet or phone. Then I got home and just completely fell apart.  I don't know how I will every resolve this. I have filed a report, but I live on unincorporated property and so it is the county sheriff's office who will be dealing with it which is kind of a joke. 

I am incredibly angry at whomever did this. I know it was just some druggies and several neighbors cars were also broken into the same night. If they had a shred of humanity they would return the bag. Now I fear the worst and that they will somehow get ahold of the estate assets or steal someone's identity. I think that the keys to my other car were also in  my gym bag which they took. So now they can come back and steal my other car (which they also broke into and took everything out of the glove box as there wasn't anything else in there).

I'm so sorry I'm trying not to wallow I just feel very overwhelmed right now. I guess I have to go out and start putting one foot in front of the other but OMG this sucks.

Love you all and hope your days is going better than mine!!

Luisa

Hello Everyone

I just wanted to see how everyone is doing I know its tough for us all no matter how many years its been. I put everything off doing like my tree and shopping until my son returned from his first year at University I said I wanted us all home together I know it was an excuse as nobody helped and I didn't ask I just didn't want the reminder of Christmas as I don't feel like anything this year. I can say now its up(the tree) and I all I do is stare at it and my mom picture I don't think I will every like holidays again they seem so empty even though everyone is around the one person isn't and I can't stopping thinking she not coming. I know I'm finding this hard so I know you guys are just wanted to say your in my prayers and always on my mind along with my mom. I miss her so much seeing everyone so happy makes me want to scream what's so good about it my mom is gone and it feels like the first few days all over again I just cry all the time. Theresa work sounds like a good plan!
