Joe, you spoke volumes about your mom in one paragraph. That was a wonderful tribute to your mom, and such a wonderful way to be remembered.

Bluebell, my mom lived in a neighborhood that was filled with predominately older people. Since my mom died, three of the people who used to check up on my mom and me have passed. It's hard. A couple of weeks ago I went back to my mom's house to check the mail. I saw her friend Art at the mailbox. He asked me how I was doing and how I liked my new place. I went back there yesterday to check the mail again. One of my neighbors saw me and told me that I should say hello to everyone before I left. I told her that I was going to stop by Art's to tell him hello. She said, "Oh, didn't you know? Art died last week."

It is hard, and there comes a point where we say "enough is enough." But I also know that as we get older this will happen more and more. My grandmother died at 95. She told me that she was ready to go because she knew more people in heaven than on earth. That's a sad reality and I guess, if we live long enough, we will all be able to say that. I just hope and pray that for all of us here that we can find joy, comfort, security, and peace, in the life that we have. I am one sad kid, but I still keep looking. I still keep hoping. Let's all hold on to hope.

God Bless you, and God Bless your sister.

Hannah, Your mom has such a sweet face. Never feel badly about having a rocky relationship with your mom. We all know that life is not like The Brady Bunch. Sometimes we got mad at our moms, sometimes we argued, but the love was always there. Love is the most powerful emotion on earth and in heaven. I do believe that your mom is watching out for you in heaven. Just like my mom, whatever has passed is in the past, but the tremendous love will always remain. 

I'm with you my friend. You are in my heart and in my prayers.

Bluebell, there is nothing that you can say or have to say. Just be there for her. Just walk beside her.

So sorry for your loss Hannah lost my mom in 2007 not a day goes by I don't think about her. She was a great listener if someone was hungry she would feed them.So many little things she would do to show she cared.

7 Months

 

212 Days

 

Not a day has gone by that I don’t think about you, or stare at a picture of you. Our relationship was rocky and not the best, but I still love you and wish you were here. Your initials are tattooed on mine and Matt's arm above with a sleeping cat. We take you with us where ever we go. It’s a constant reminder that you are always there, always looking after us in heaven. I miss you mom.

 

Grief is hard, painful, irritating, frustrating. There are good days and there are awful days. Over the past 7 months, the good days are slowly starting to outweigh the bad. When the bad days occur, time seems to slow down and it feels like it’s never going to pass. I might look ok on the outside, but on the inside, I’m screaming. There is no timeline for one’s grief journey. The pain and frustration don’t just go away one day. The hurt will decrease over time, but it will always be there. For now, the hurt is still so apparent.
