I am a 33-year-old mother of a very active toddler, with another baby due in early July. I am a certified elementary teacher, but I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am lucky to have such a supportive husband during this difficult time.
About my Loss:
My mother died suddenly on April 6, 2013 of an undiagnosed heart condition. We were all completely blind-sided. I am devastated not only that I lost my best friend, but also that my children won't know her.
I just saw your comment from June 5th on the "I Miss My Mom" page--thank you for your kind words about going through motherhood without your mom. It gives me strength to know that it will be possible to have a child and love him/her and cherish him/her the way my mom cherished me.
