Motherless Day...

Pain. Sadness.

Everyday!

Avi, yes. People were posting pictures of their mothers, or they would post a picture with their mom, celebrating the day. It was also my mom's birthday. There is really nothing we can do but miss them. It's sad that a day that used to be the cause of happiness is now a day of pain. Christmas, too.

Mother's day was horrible for me. Everybody was wishing their mothers on social media and I cannot even talk to her.

I did. I am the Wellness Coordinator there. I still miss my dog though, and, of course, my mom. Sunday wasn't just Mother's Day. It was also my mom's birthday.

I just remember, when my mom was sick but not yet dying, we would be sitting in our sun room, talking or watching TV. Our two little dogs would be there wagging their little tails. I started to realize that I would see all three of them die. But then I would say, "not today." That day did come though, three times. I don't have anything left that will die. 

I really miss being loved. And I miss having family. To me, my dogs were family. All I can do is pray that God is aware, and that he will help me through this.

Awww...Brett! Heartfelt condolences to you. Life never gets any better, does it? When you keep 'losing' living beings very close to us one after another...we question the existence of our life, don't we? I do.

I hope you can channel whatever energy you are left with and when you are ready  to whatever causes close to your heart soon...as no one can replace our mothers and/or our pets.

I am not worried about myself...rashes can disappear...just need to buy the right medicated soap...ha! I can gain body mass if I stop grieving...is it possible? 

One day, we will all die. We are actually dying everyday...getting closer and closer. I always content...10 months in my mother's womb-safe, sound and healthy...probably happy too.  How many more years in Mother's Earth womb-unsafe, going crazy with Covid-19 and what nought, soon to be inflicted with age old illness? When will our last breath becomes air? I am waiting...for Mother Earth to deliver me from her womb...happiness and peace!

Avi...take heart for having your daughter.

The news of passing of your dog is sad Brett because last 2 years your dog has been in our discussion and I feel connected to her. 

I can understand that having a motivation to live is very imp. Currently my 1.5 years daughter is my motivation to live. She has started talking a lot and I forget grief when I am with her. When alone, grief again takes over.

SelV, some of the things that you described are frightening. I have a very similar feeling about life. My precious little dog died a couple of weeks ago. She was my mom's dog as well, and she was the best thing I had going for me. Her unconditional love through my mom's illness, and especially after, was the greatest blessing that I had received since my mom died. I have dreaded her death ever since my mom's death. I always felt like, "Please dont take her, too. She's all I  have." I love, love, lover her, and I really miss her.

People talk about wanting to live to be 100. I can't imagine. At least, there is nothing left that I love that will die. I just wish, hope, and pray that God will lead me to a happy, secure place. I have wanted that since my mom died.
