Bluebell,
How brave of you to move forward with donating some of your mom's belongings. They will bless many people. I haven't been able to do this after almost two years, and feel there must be something wrong with me because I can't. I think you are amazing.
Hugs,
Nancy

Tanya,
I agree with you. It seems like a little brightness will always be missing from the world without dearest ones in it. I still feel that way after almost 2 years. I know my mom used to feel the exact same way about loved ones lost over her lifetime. I miss her so much.

That was so sweet and brave of your daughter.

Yes, I find that many things trigger intense grieving and other just a dull aching and a sense of loneliness. Today was an  intensely emotional one.

It was very hard just now to watch my Mom's clothing go out the door in a box. I wanted to donate them, but I did not realize how hard it would be. I think I am going to go cuddle up with my dog for awhile. Maybe that will help.

Hi Bluebell, I'm sorry for your loss.  My mom was 65.  She was diagnosed with a rare cancer in Aug 2014 and passed away less than 2 years later.  What's hard is watching my 9 year old cry for her and she is a pretty strong girl but I encourage her to grieve and allow her to see me grieve so she knows its normal.  When my mom passed away I went to her house and gave her a kiss and told my daughter she did not have to go in.  She wanted to.  She took my mom's hand and sang her favorite song--you are my sunshine.  That broke my heart and now I'm at work in tears.   I find that grief comes out of nowhere when you least expect it.

Welcome. I lost my Mom last month. I know what you mean about feeling like something is missing. I am so sorry for your loss. If you do not mind sharing, how old was your Mom when she passed away?

Hi, new to the group.  My mom passed away April 5th 2016 and it's coming up to the first year without her.  She truly is my best friend and was very close to my daughter.  My dad had passed away 8 years prior to.  I never thought at 39 my parents would be gone.   I miss her so much the thought of her gone makes me lose my breath.  When you think about the long term--of how you will have to live 20-30 years without them makes it even more sad.  People say it will get easier but I think that life is a little less brighter without the ones you love.  There is something missing.

Thank you Bluebell, I feel the same way this is much much harder then when my dad died.

Sometimes I feel like I should have done more for her, but she was so independent.

I miss her everyday and I say goodnight to her every night and tell her I love her.

God bless you also Bluebell

She does not have to worry about me because I will be alright in time. I will pray to God and ask him to help her know that. But I will miss her daily. She was an important part of my life for 98 years. 

I have probably said this before, but this is harder than when I lost my Dad.

I think I have a better idea of what my Mom went through when my Dad died. I wish I had the maturity and the personal experiences to have supported her more. But I was blinded by youth and my own loss to understand hers.

God bless you Theresa

Bluebell
