Dear Jeff:

I know a birthday without our Moms will not be a happy one. Rather, let's think on our birthday our Mom were the happiest ever because they brought us into this world. And, in their honor we should be thankful. May the Peace of God be with you today and always.

Well talking of birthdays my first one was like 2 days after it all happened so I really did not realize what was going on at the time.  So I think for me it will be really the next year that it will sort of feel like the first birthday without getting THE call.

Happy Birthday Jeff. My birthday this past Monday was hard too, the first without my mom.

The parent is still calling you spiritually and emotionally Jeff that is what i try to tell myself and so there is no breaking the bond.  Yes the physical call is not coming in but what can we do ? Kristin hope your partner is helping out now.  Have a good one all.

Happy Birthday, Jeff - I'm sorry you won't get to spend it with those people you've loved and lost but I hope you have a good day.

Boabie, I'm an only child too and I think that makes it much harder.  Plus, I was pretty much raised by my Mom and her older sister as Dad died when I was not even 9yrs old.  I spent all my time w/my Mom  and my Aunt.  Those are the 2 hardest deaths I've had to deal with; my Aunt's was probably worse actually, since it was very much unexpected.  But today's a rough day too...my birthday...knowing there's that one call I won't be getting.  It really sucks.

Firstly thank you everyone for accepting me into this group. I specially want to thank Jeff and Boabie for responding to my post about my mother. I love my mother so much. She was, is everything to me. Theres a lump in my throat 24/7. Im dysfunctional. Cant sleep , cant work . Everything seems bleak and pointless. My life was always about my mum. Everything was about her. I have never met such a great person in my life and I never will. She was the greatest, kindest, most compassionate , purest , noblest person ever. The grief I feel is so raw and intense. Its like having open heart surgery without anaesthesia. I'm always questioning: why did she suffer so much? Why so many hardships ? Why was God, the universe not kind to her? Its so hard . I truly wish my mum had lived. I would have gladly gone instead of her. I always weep because I dont know if I will ever meet mum again . My fiance assures me saying that you and your mum shared a very strong karmic bond , you will definitely meet her again. I just dont know what to believe anymore

Once again my apologies for not commenting and and supporting people more on here. I've been caught up in other things and its hard to deal with my own grief and my dad's. I'm still thinking of everyone on here and wishing everyone the best in their struggles with the new normal that grief imposes on all of us!

Condolences to all as well.  Janessa, yes that makes it harder if you lived the last couple of years or more with the parent in the same house.  I would recommend moving away for a while if you can. My support to you.
