The last week of July of this year was a very emotional week for me. My wedding was on July 28, 2007. On July 25, 2007 I received the worst phone call anyone can imagine. My mom died 3 days before my wedding. So I was finishing up the last minute stuff for my wedding. So on Saturday I still continued with my wedding and on Monday morning I had to travel to South Carolina to bury my mom.
Now I have to get myself together and focus. I still have to get my house in order, catch up on bills, & so much more. I'm on such an emotional roller coaster I want to get off and get focused again. Its so hard I just don't know want to do.
I just want to thank anyone who read this post because I just wanted to get this out because I actually haven't broke down yet because I feel that I need to be strong for my children and disable sister that I have custody of now. And I think if I lose controll then it will have them the same way. My son & mom was very close, and it hurt him bad. My mom was young and now shes gone from us forever.

omg that has to be the worst I am so sorry for you loss and I admire you for being strong enough to continue on, I dont think I could have Pleas take some time for yourself to grieve. I just lost my mother in december last and I still have very bad days and cant get past the pain.Mygrandson had a very hard time with the loss as he was so close to my mother,it so hard to try to help them understand. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts,she may be gone from this earth but she will be with you forever.

you did what your mother would have wanted. i am a father but the well being of your children comes before anything in this world. i lost my parents and know that my parents only wanted the best for us and to live well would be the greatest tribute that you could show your mother. how sad you would be if you seen your children mourn and not enjoy the happiest days of their life...we all love our children and we love our parents in the same fashion as blood is thicker then water..so rejoice in the fact that your Mother is with God and that is the greatest place anyone can be..and in the future you will look forward to joining her when it is your time to leave this veil of tears...

OMG... i feel so sorry for you and deepest condolences goes to you... you are a strong woman and i really admired you... grieve and let out of your emotion if you must... it is a natural thing to grieve when you lose someone that you lose so much... otherwise, you will have a mental breakdown if you keep it inside... take care and God Bless you...

Things which are the worst come suddenly when you are in the most happiness;things which are the best come suddenly when you are in pain.I am a chinese student in university,yesterday i told my mum i am in love ,but my parents opposed strongly.now i and my boyfriend determined to love each other forever as we love each other very much ,i think there is love around you, and you will be happy.

Oh gosh! How awful! I'm so sorry! Please know that there are people here that care including myself. Now you need to take some time for yourself to grieve, otherwise you'll explode. It's all normal to cry even in front of your children because it will teach them it's ok to cry. However don't fall apart in front of them though for it'll scare them. You do need to go somewhere and just let yourself go and cry all that you need to to relieve the pressure in your chest. It won't relieve the pain but it will get it out of your system.
Also know that you did just as your mother would have wanted you to which is to continue with your wedding. She wants everyone to be happy (as much as you can be.) She's in a much better place now and knows no pain or anything bad. She knows nothing but total happiness because that's what heaven is all about. I haven't lost my mother yet but I did lose my grandmother which I was dearly close to. My mom says the first year was the hardest and then it gets easier till such time she wants to call her to tell her something then realizes she's gone then it's hard again then she'll think of something else so she doesn't get all teary eyed.
I will be praying for you and your family. God bless you all!
