Profile Information:

About Me:
I am a mother, a wife, I am currently in school pursuing my second Master program. I keep very busy since I have 4 children ranging from 7 years old to a newborn.
About my Loss:
My mom has been very sick for many years, along with her sickness has brought her a lot of pain throughout the years. I am an only child and my mom was my best friend. She passed away suddenly when I was about 6 months pregnant. Loosing a loved one is hard however, this compounded my loss. In addition I almost lost my life as well as my daughter (she is our newborn) approx. 2 months after my mom's passing. We both went through a unexpalinable experience. My husband was wonderful, more than I could describe. On the other hand, I needed my mom. It has almost been one year, honestly I am experiencing more & more anxiety as the day approaches I am at a loss for words. Shall I keep to myself, stay strong for my children? Or let myself feel my loss?

    Oh my, these stories really touched my heart. I'm crying in my coffee. It just makes me more of a believer. Thanks so much for sharing. You should share them with everyone - I think more people need to hear this. Anyway, if you need anything, I'm here.

    Yes, I think these are real experiences and you should cherish them. When my brother passed I felt him around me all the time. I know he was there. I just know it, the feeling was too strong to be otherwise. I think you are blessed. Most people don't have these experiences because they don't open their minds to them. You're one of the lucky ones. That blanket one is huge. I've felt tugs, and shaking and all sorts of things. It DOES happen.
