I'm missing my mom

[magicfan]

I'm sorry. It must be very hard for you. I hope you can think of the happy times and feel better.

Today would have been her 79th birthday. She passed away Feb. 24, 2001 and even though I don't hurt as much, I miss her around these kinds of special days. She wasn't perfect of course, but she was pretty close. I just miss her so much.

I'm so sorry! My loss is just a few months old, and most days I can't believe how much it hurts.

Hugs to you!

I know exactly how you feel. My mom passed away suddenly 12/14/04. I forgot to tell her something that morning before I went to bed. I thought "well, I'll just tell her this evening when I get up". I never saw her again. Her birthday would have been 8/16 and it has been really hard on me the past few weeks, not that it isn't hard all of the time. I pretend most of the time that I'm doing fine but sometimes it just hits me and knocks me for a loop. I don't think I realized while she was alive just how much she meant to me. I hope somehow she knows how much I miss her. It has left a big whole in my life.

I am sorry. I miss my mom too. She passed a littleover a month ago so its still a fresh pain. I still have a message on my voicemail from here a few weeks before her passing that I listen to when I just need to hear her voice. I don't think a person ever gets over losing there parents.

To those who wonder how a person gets over the death of a parent...well, you really don't totally. My dad died when my first born was a baby, over 17 years ago. The first 2 years were terrible. I couldn't even talk about him without being very emotional. Thankfully by the time my children were old enough to ask questions about their grandfather I was able to talk about him.

Talking to my kids about him has helped because I've been able to keep him alive in my memory and to relate stories about and from him to my children. They know when I'm saying something that he used to say. Ie, when someone asked him what day it was his reply was always, "Friday (or whatever day it was) unless it rains", meaning that then it would be a rainy day. Silly, but something that I've passed down that my kids will probably say to their kids.

Yes, time does help a person after a loved one has died, but the upset never totally goes away.

This is so true. I always talk about my mom to my nieces & nephews. (the oldest were 10 when she passed, the youngest were 2, and 4 were born after she died). It keeps the memories alive.

Thanks for the cyber hugs & good wishes. And hugs back to all of you.

I am so sorry for your pain. My mother past away 9/1/04. I didn't ever think I would miss her as much as I do. Try to remember the happy times.

I lost my mother on Valentines day in 1998. My son was only 7 weeks old. I was thankful that she got to see become a mother. Even more devastating was that my 38 year old sister died suddenly in March (only 3 weeks later). It was so hard because I was thrilled to have my newborn but so distraught at losing them.

DS is now almost 8 and I have a little girl who is almost 5. I always wonder if my mom and sis know about my little girl. I like to think that they are there. My kids know about them because they see pictures and hear stories.

I am much better on birthdays , anniversaries etc. What gets me the most are those moments that we are unprepared for. Hearing a song that brings back a strong memory, picking up the phone to call and then remembering that you can't, seeing my kids reach milestones and just wishing they were there. The only thing that helps is time, but even that doesn't take it away, it just makes it a little more tolerable.

I'm sorry you're hurting. Think of happy times with her.

Does anyone think that mabey we were never suppose to feel this type
of pain? The Bible tells us that this was not suppose to be this way for
us. It also holds out a hope for us all to see our loved ones right here
on earth. I would love to share this hope with anyone in their own copy
of the Bible.-she0110@hotmail.com

I lost my mom in July 2004. The pain is so deep and intense. I miss her every minutes. I go on with life as she would want me to, but she is missed by all of us every day.

Hugs to you.
