5 years ago tommorrow is the date when I lost my mother and step father in a drunk driving accident. It still isn't easy. I am going to try to keep busy all day. I loved what you wrote. Thanks

I can certainly relate to your post since my Mom will be gone 8 weeks tomorrow. This is the longest time we've ever been separated. I miss her so much. I cry everyday (& have since she was diagnosed with Bone Marrow Cancer on July 8th 2002.) Although I am married to a wonderful man & have 2 children, I feel so alone. There is no one like "Mom" on this earth. So, I truly know your pain. Your words were so beautiful & so heartfelt. I just wonder how I'll be holding up when the one year mark arrives. My b-day is in Sept & I just know how very sad I'll be on that day. I have never spent a b-day away from my Mom. This will be the first birthday in my entire life that we won't be together. I sure hope that after a year of being separated from your Mother that you're not in as much pain as I am in now.

Thank you for not making me feel that I am so alone in my feelings. (Did that make sense?)

((((hugs to you))))

Wow - You have really put some positive thoughts behind this anniversary! It is so hard to lose that one person who seemed to hold your life together. When my mom died of breast cancer (she was 53, and I was 21), I got angry - then sad - then I finally started to remember the funny things she did and said. And I was constantly picking up the phone to call her! I still miss her and it has been more than 20 years!

Best wishes to you. I hope you can think of a few funny or happy moments you had with your mom and these will make you smile!

Isn't it amazing how, in passing, she continued to give you such wonderful lessons on life?

Thanks for sharing the wisdom you learned. Your tribute shows us what a special person she was.

Thanks everyone. Yesterday had some very hard times in it but also had some good. She was also 55 when she died and I am 34. I had a great deal of hatred and anger when she first died. And then I realized there was no sense for it because it wasn't going to bring her back. I hated that her cousin who was very angry at her dying also had 55 years with my mom - that's something I will never have. There was quite a bit of hatred at some sides of the family but I've learned my mom didn't raise me to be like that and she'd be very angry at me. So I let that pass. Last night, however, I got very angry at her again - she is letting my aunt (my dad's sister who we are very close to) who was my "second mom" die before our eyes. But then I remembered that I could have watched my mom die like I've watched my aunt die since March. I wouldn't have wanted that and then the gratefulness hit me. I had alot to be thankful and grateful for... I still get angry and I know I always will, for what was taken from me. But when I see something that reminds me of her and think of her smile and laugh - it puts it all into perpective for me.

Chris -

Let me tell you, your progression in just a year is remarkable. You have learned so much. The first year anniversary is always hard and you are proving to be a strong person (yes, even if you don't feel you are..you ARE).

I lost my brother almost 4 years ago (4 years on September 25). I was only 11 years old at the time, so it was hard for me to comprehend. He was 18 and died from 2 epileptic seizures.

Both situations are completely different, and so our pain is different, yet still the same. Though we have a bit of an age gap, if you ever want to talk feel free to message or e-mail me.

(((HUGS)))
