The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.....
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

Say not in grief that she is no more
but say in thankfulness that she was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come.

Kelli, it sounds like your children are very young and just don't have the capacity to understand death. A few things that came to my mind I've heard about others in your situation doing is to have them write a letter to her. You could either let them believe you mailed it to heaven or take them with their letters to her grave side (if she was buried and let them read it to her or just talk to her there). I hope this helps but the truth is, it is so hard and most things in their lives, we as parents can help them with. But, this is something that we ourselves are struggling to deal with and can't find the strength to help them when we are barley holding on too.

Its always about money when someone dies isn't it, how sad.
I know my mom worked hard for what she had, her house she lived in for 60 years, she was the first house built on the dirt road and suburbs, now its unbelievable.
She always used to say this house is for you and your brother, and I would say mom please.
Even though it has been two years, every night when I get in bed I say mom I love you and miss you I hope you know that, I cry, its still hard, I guess it will always be afterall she was my mom and always will be.
I just keep saying mom please come to me, let me tell you I love you one more time so I can go on with my life, since she died so suddenly I didn't get to say anything.

I get it Brett. I can totally relate. I am still not only in shock about the loss of my late, great Mom, but also in shock of how my siblings dealt with her loss as so much a matter of "money" (not that she had much, but she did own the family house). They made me move out just a few days 3 months after she passed away. I was obviously in a state of shock, grief and disbelief. They did not care. They wanted that house on the market and that house sold. Well, they got what they wanted. They got their money, I got my money (which is worthless compared to my Mom) and I remain in a state of grief over 7 years later.

I am so sorry.

I am saddened for you Brett that your family are not treating you with love and respect you deserve for all that you did for you beloved Mom. God bless you and hold you up during this trying time of transition.

Hi Kelly. I know exactly how you feel it is still hard for me to think and talk about my mom. Its horrible but i try to push thoughts of her away because then I would completely lose it. I too feel like it isnt fair for my mom she deserves to be remembered but even thinking about the happy times make me even sadder cause we will never be able to create more good memories. I think we just need time or that is what everyone tells me. It has been seven months since my mom died and I feel like the pain had gotten worse. The first few weeks I was clinging to anything of hers and sleeping on her bed cause I didnt want to believe she was gone but now I cant even step foot in her home or look at pictures of her cause its so heartbreaking. I miss her terribly. I hope you get thru this and eventually are able to share happy memories of your mom with your boys.

So it's been awhile since I've post it on here my life just seems to be in turmoil it's upside down and nothing like it used to be without my mom in it I'd like to say I'm coping well but honestly it would be a lie some days are better than others but they all really suck I've been dealing with the fact that I would lose my mother sooner than later my whole life when I was just 6 my mother was told she had 5 Days to Live and even though she made it to see 54 years of age and to see me to 28 I'm still not okay with the fact that she's gone I have two little boys that grandma's everything and I have tried to explain to them the best way I know how that grandma' has gone to be with god but they just don't seem to get it every day all they do is ask me when Grandma's coming back is Grandma still sick inin the Hospital when can they go see her I just repeat the same thing to them over and over but but they just don't seem to get it and as awful as that sounds I'm so tired of repeating it I'm still coping with it and my life is in shambles and I'm just tired of talking about it day in and day out it's hard to continue to act like it's something that didn't happen when they won't quit talking about it so in turn I feel like I'm doing a disservice to my mother's memory and a disservice to my children and I feel like a bad mom but I'm just not ready to continue talking about it has anybody else gone through this and and if so do you have any suggestions?

Bluebell, my thoughts are with you. Believe me, I know.

I've moved. I had to get away from my family. None of them no where I am now, and that's how I want it. I had lifetime rights to my mom's house but the vitriol has been incredible. In a way I feel like I let my mom down by letting them win, but it's over now. They had reduced my mom to money. Well, they will get it now. She was so much more to me. They will never understand.
