My mom was killed 18 months ago today and I have some MP3s that I made using my at-the-time new portable digital recorder. Little did I know that my testing my new device by recording several restaurant outings would be the last recordings of her. Of course the hardest part was finding a hand-written letter, part poem and part matter of fact, that was obviously only meant for me to find after she died....

Beloved son, if I should not wake on the morrow,
after my heart has faded away,
do not, I ask you, harshly sorrow,
for I have this to say:
I have feasted on nature's lovely tapestries.
My eyes have seen beauty in a flower.
The gifted hand on canvas has stirred my heart.
Music has brought me the utmost joy.
Friendship has uplifted me.
But my greatest gift, has been you.
Write long in your book of life - from cover to cover.
Fill the pages with great things.
Be happy.
Life is but a short journey on this earth.
Just a step on the way.
Remember me with kindness, my child.
G-d bless you.
Love, Your Mother

I have lived with my mum all my life till she passed. For me seeing her personal belongings like a hair clip or even her favourite teacup ,anything actually fills me with a lot of pain . I cant bear to give away her things. As far as I'm concerned they are hers. I love her so much and miss her so much. I didnt think it was possible to feel such sorrow, such pain. The void of her passing is so deep it just cannot be filled. I dont know what to do .

It's six months today and I woke this morning from a dream of her. She was smiling and we hugged and it was so good to see her!! I'm going to try to hold on to that feeling for as long as I can.

Yeah the phone thing was so hard Danny & Jeff! I have her VM mail taped on my cell, as well as a few conversations. Like Cynthia,I
cannot listen to them right now. I mean, I will fall apart. I
long to hear her voice too. But I cannot look at her pics, and
I cannot listen to her voice yet. Maybe one day?

Indeed tough. Never had to deal with e-mails so really the phone thing is the main thing for me.  For me not able to discuss the weekly stuff is a killer, although I still do it in a way.  I don't even know how I am managing sometimes.

well, I'm glad you mentioned it boabie.  I had to turn off my Moms' phone about 2 weeks ago.  It was really hard...after dialing that number for 46yrs of my life.  Funny, how the little things can come up and bite you like that, isn't it?

It hits in the morning often and that is true Boabie.

It's only been 11 weeks for me. I have good days and not as good days. I just had my mom's phone turned off yesterday. And it went into affect today. After turning it off, I burst into hard to control tears, and ran outside. I'd called that number for most of my adult life! It was too much for me. I called today, only to hear the disconnect message and I became overcome numb. I know I am somewhat better, but I wake up everyday, and the first thing that comes to mind is, my mom is gone.

3 updates from people at 11, 8 and 9 months into it.  There is a chance things will get better then.  Thanks to all and my support to all.
