The upcoming holidays will be very rough, no doubt.  I'm not looking forward to it. Easter was bad enough.  But, we have to move forward, eh?  My boss says "you never get over it, you just get used to it", but that takes some time, I think.  I'm also glad Mom's not suffering and struggling, but it's hard to enjoy a holiday without her right now.

Nancy, I had a very similar experience. My dad died last August 2102 shortly after I had visited him at the VA hospital. My mom was very sick for the holiday's 2012, and little did I know it would be the last Thanksgiving & Christmas we'd spend together.
She got very sick and died about 6-8 months after being diagnosed with Leukemia. Mom died August of this year. I like you am glad she is not suffering anymore. Watching her die was real hard,and know that I am selfish in my missing her. I saw a counselor who says we never really get over our parents passing. We just learn to move forward. I am working on moving forward, but it's only been about 3 month, so I will work on moving forward slowly but surely.

Today is 3 years since I recieved that horrible phone call to tell me my father had passed.  The only thing I could think of was my mom, how was my mom taking it.  She was with my dad when he died. LIttle over 10 months ago, my mom passed.  It is hard to think about how much my life has changed in the last 3 years.  What I knew then is no longer.  It is really hard to plan for Thanksgiving this year.  Thanksgiving will no longer be the family gathering as it use to be.  While I do have many things to be thanful for, it will be a difficult holiday season for me and for all of us.  My mom was very sick last Thanksgiving, I hated seeing her sick and in pain.  All though I miss my mom terribly, I am thankful she is no longer suffereing.  It is hard to think about, but I knew then she was ready to go.  I should not be selfish and wish she were still here.

Hi everyone. The past few weeks have been brutal. I've been sick with enough time to lie down and stare at the ceiling and weep, grieve. My anxiety is at an all time high . I got a panic attack yesterday and I was home alone. Not fun. Its 3 and half months since I lost my beloved ma(indian word for mother). All i do is cry , feel helpless and hopeless. Her pain, suffering , her final weeks and days haunt me day and night. I just cant make peace with the fact that the greatest ,most kindest , most wonderful person and mother suffered so much . Try as I might not to I'm taking this very persoanlly . I keep questioning that if good karma begets good then my mother should have been the happiest person on this planet for she never hurt a fly in her life , she was always pure and kind to one and all. Yes even to those who hurt her. Yet she suffered great misery, diseases, and hardships all her life. There is no justice. The good always suffer. I just cant accept her suffering . I love my mother more than I've loved anybody in this world and i'm falling apart here without her. Thank you.

Dave, that was just beautiful, as I know your mom was also!
The poem brought me to tears.
