I had a dream about my mom and woke up crying.  In the dream my home was decorated for Christmas; it looked like a department store with decorated trees and lights, beautiful.  At first I liked it then I started screaming..."My mom isn't here, there is no Christmas!"  Then I walked into her bedroom and she was in bed with a white sheet covering her.  She kicked off the sheet and I asked her, "Aren't you cold?"  She was angry and said, "No!"  Her eyes were not open.  I woke up crying.  Sometimes I miss her so much I can't breath.

Michael,

What a beautiful picture of your mom! It was also beautiful that you ran in her honor and memory.  I know she is well-pleased.

thank you Jeff.

It just makes it so much more difficult having to deal with my brother.  It is hard enough as it is, but having the added stress just makes me sick, my chest hurts...I just hope this isn't affecting my health.

My mom was a simple pretty trusting person.  I have a hard time trusting.  I feel so abandoned...I just don't know whaat to do.  I know none of us have any guarantees.  I don't have any answsers either.

My colleague at work is going thru a similar process as yours Nancy; 3 siblings and very different views on things.  One's in a hurry to be done with it all, the other isn't, etc., etc.  I'd say just move at a rate that you are comfortable with.  I'm in the process of cleaning out my Mom's place and it's just terribly difficult, emotionally.  And, I have no siblings to deal with.

Went to a family reunion today.  It was very difficult not having my mom there.  My aunt was there, they look so much a like it made me miss my mom even more.  Visiting with my aunt and cousins was great. 

 

yesterday, after dividing up some of my mom's stuff between my brothers and sisters, they left.  I went into my mom's room...turned on the light, 1 of the 3 lights in the ceiling fan went out.  LATER I went back in there to look for something, and ANOTHER bulb went out!  I know it was my mom telling me that she is not happy with us for going through her stuff, dividing it up, and getting rid of stuff so quickly.  I know she isn't upset with me, my idea was to leave everything  alone for many many months before we even touch it.  but my older brother wants to sell the house.  I spent last night at my mom's and I only woke up once during the night! I NEVER do that.  I can sleep for few hours then I feel like I wake up every hour or so.  I feel that my mom was there to comfort me and to help me sleep.  Thank you mom

My mom passed away nearly seven weeks ago. The first four were difficult it was like walking through a dream. I had never experienced grief like it before. I was crying everyday. I kept trying to make sense of it. Mom had always been there, I could always talk to her about anything. She was funny, intelligent, my rock, I could always draw strength from my mom. Though my dad is still with us and I do love him, it was my mom I was close to. She was always interested in what you were doing, what you were cooking for tea. Why was I wearing that jumper and not a different one? She had an answer for everything. I fear that as time goes on I'll forget her voice, her mannerisms, what it felt like to be in the same room as her. Any children I have wont know my mom, their nan. It doesn't seem right. When the end came I was with her holding her hand. And though it sounds strange its made me view death differently. My mom was able to pass through that door with dignity, and when my time comes hopefully I will

do the same.
