Amanda, you are honoring your mother. That is wonderful.

Melisa, I can relate. When something happens all I can think is how it would be shared with Mom. It is a tough road facing life without her.

 

May God give everyone here the strength for today.

That was very touching, Amanda.

It's very hard, even when something good happens, the pain of not having Mom here is always there. I don't really know how can I live with this.

Amanda, what a beautiful tribute to both your mother and sister. Thank you for sharing.

This past weekend, my father and I found a grief journal that my mother kept after my infant sister died 20 years ago. We never knew she wrote this. In it, she expressed her wishes that someone, someday would read her journal and know that that her youngest daughter existed. I want to honor her wishes as best as I can.

Kelsey Miriam was born on March 27, 1993. She weighed 2 lbs., 4.5 oz. She had a beautiful tiny face and blue eyes. She passed away on March 28, 1993, surrounded by family. Kelsey was very much wanted and loved, and my mother missed her greatly for the rest of her life.

Thank you.

It's three months today since my mom passed away suddenly. I am so heartbroken. Time had not healed the pain. I still can't accept that she is gone and never coming back. I'm 35 and still need my mom. My children need their grandma. Life just doesn't make sense sometimes. Her birthday is this Friday and I'm emotionally a mess. She would be turning 64. Happy birthday in heaven mommy- I love you and miss you so much! I hope you are safe and happy.

I keep thinking "I've got to go home. I have to get out of here." But I am home. It's my heart that isn't here anymore. My Mom was my home in this world and everything feels meaningless without her. If it wouldn't hurt other people I care about, I'd have nothing to live for. I can never just be at ease because something is always missing. And it's never coming back. 

I love you with all my heart, Momma <3 I miss you!

Cynthia: My heart goes out to you. Your loss is too recent, you are strong to be able to express your feeling as you are, I was in complete shock then. Thought at any moment I was going to drop from the deep pain I felt.

Lisa: I am exactly at the point in the grieving process where you are. The reality of it has settled in, the sadness is there every day.

Danny: There is hope, when I read a guy's comment, and sensitivity. I say to myself, that is a real man. One who loves his mother deeply, and shares it here.

It is very tough and there is a hole as Lisa said.  This will never be filled the question is if and how to live with this gap.  Then again, it is important to realize that life is tough and one day all the decisions have to be made without asking our parents.  I'm talking it one month at a time, let's see how i do. My support to Lisa, Cynthia and Martha too.

Nancy, Martha and Cynthia....I so understand your pain....I fight internally every day to be the "positive" person everyone has always known me to be...but I feel like such a fraud....I am not so positive anymore...so much joy is gone, and while the pain is not as gut wrenching as it once was...I am sadly accepting that life will truly never be the same...that I will never feel whole again.... Even when something good happens there is no longer just pure joy or happiness....it is always tainted by the hole in my heart....it just isn't right to have to live with such sadness....I then start to feel guilty and selfish and remind myself that I am not alone in my suffereing and that so many people suffer from loss everyday....I just don't understand what we are to learn from this constant heart ache....for the rest of our time here on this earth

I so understand what everyone in this group is going thru. I feel like you Nancy, there are things that need to be done and I keep postponing them. Everyday is a struggle, I only do what I absolutely have to do. I think about my mother every hour of the day. Life as it was when Mom was on this earth will never be the same.
