Wow BigJohn, you took the words right out of my mouth. Very well put. I too experienced both my parents loss and to this day, its not ez.

She was there to hold me when I was sad
She was there to wipe my tears when i cried
She was there to kiss when I was hurt
She was always there to say I love you

But one Day I decided to listen
In the wind there was a wisper

She is still there to hold me when I am sad
She is still there to wipe my tears when i cry
She still kisses me when I am hurt
She still wispers I love you

Mother I hear your wispers in the wind
Mother I feel your gentil kiss when I sleep
Mother i have learned you are my gardien angel

And God have decided that you will never leave my side


to all that have lost a mother dont forget to listen she was never lost

that is so beautiful.Thank you. Call me strange,but I lost my Mom 40 years ago and I still miss her.

you don't let go but you sort through the dreams and try to make peace in your own way...one day you will get a dream and it will help you find peace!

Grieving is different for each of us.. I lost my husband 18 mo ago and 1 yr next wk I lost my mom.. thought I was doing ok until mom passed.. It almost completely shut me down. Having had a complete breakdown at age 23, I am wise enough to recognize when I need help and go to the doctor..
If it wasn't for my friends and some people on this site, I don't think I would have made it thru the winter..one friend(from high school) called me everynight for a month just to make sure I was ok..Thats a loyal friend.....
My advice: take it one day at a time, time does heal the pain.. If you feel you can't cope, go to the dr., sometimes we need extra help, just getting some needed rest helps, let others help you, and talk about it with others..friends are here to listen. Sometimes thats all you need...

Just remember that God's gift of memory will always keep her close in your HEART!

It does help to talk and even if you don't know someone face to face there is someone out there who will listen. On this site for ex. If you've never dealt with the lose of a loved one then you're not living.

Thanks guys

I felt like that for a long time after my dad passed. I was mad at God, the whole 9 yards. Then I realized how much pain he was in and God, being merciful, took him to a better place with no pain.

What "Mother" Means

"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.
I’ll love my mother all my days,
For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.
Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom!

I lost my mom -it will be 2 years next month-Christmastime


The flowers in the funeral home were beautiful poinsettias...her favorite...I think of her everyday-see something on tv or in a store and say "My mom would love that"...I just know she is at peace ,and i will see her again some day, and that she wants me to be happy - as your mom wants you to be...

I lost my mum 19 years ago this Dec..... To this day I am not over her leaving so young, I have come to terms with it but you never get over the loss of mum, Never.....I know your mum wants you to move on and enjoy life, As mind did for me......wish you the best,,,,Stuart

I been going through the same thing since last June. Sometimes it is hard to face the fact that someone we love is gone. I never been to my mother grave. Almost afraid to go. But now the most amazing thing has happen. I got someone close that I love, and she and I making a trip to NY to see my mother. Sometimes these things are not easy to overcome without the help of others. I held the pain and anger and sadness for over a year now going on two. My mother had a long death, and it was hard because I cared for her the whole time. But thanks to my saving grace who broke through my walls and loves me enough to help me fight my demons I am going come out alright, and maybe even stronger. Hang in there, there IS light at the end of that tunnel.

God Bless, and Good Luck
Chris
