So... I'm still torn up on the inside. The pain is as fresh in me as it was the day it happened. My mother. She left me. She flew up to heaven with wings of an angel attatched to her. I saw it happen. She passed away in march of 2009.
I know it hasn't even been a year yet but I feel as though I should be somewhat healed by now, or at least starting the healing process. I'm not. -I'm stuck.-
Just last week while cleaning out some of her belongings, I found a note she wrote to me in case she passed away. It was beautiful and it's now framed hanging on my wall. My birthday was 2 days ago. I expected to see her. Her spirit, a sign, anything at all!She had lung cancer. It was not a shock that she was dying-we knew. Yet it still killed me inside. I miss her more than anything. She was my support, my best friend, my teacher, care giver, SHE WAS MY EVERYTHING!!!
I have 2 kids, they are 3&5 now. I'm scared they won't remember the roman who helped me on my feet and took care of them and loved them dearly. Sure, I have pictures, but that doesn't mean much in 19 years from now when they look at them and have no recollection of the events.
I'm just wondering if anybody knows how I'm feeling or what I can do to start this healing process. I just need some help I suppose. Or maybe I just needed to get this off my chest but I would love to hear about your experiences with losing a loved one.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I've lost 3 in my family in the last 7 years. my only sister last year of cancer. Time apparently is the only healer. The hurt won't go away, but it gets more easy to handle with time. You will have precious times too when you think of something outrageously funny or silly she did or something sweet she said that you will always remember. And just like the guy said, just prepare for that great day when you will see her agin with open arms. I will pray for you.

No matter how prepared we think we are, we're never really ready to lose a loved one. I lost my oldest brother two years ago and only recently was I able to think of him without sadness and tears.
Give yourself time. It will always hurt but eventually you'll be able to smile and remember your mother as she would want you to, without tears and sadness. Keep her alive in your children's memories by telling stories of your own childhood and your mother. Write this in a journal if you keep one so they will know, when your time comes, that they aren't alone and others feel that way, too.
I'm so sorry you lost your mom, but she'll be there waiting for you when it's your turn. Your loss is temporary, her love is forever.

I'm sorry about your brother, I know that mustve been hard on you. Thank you so much for the journal idea, I love that idea and I think it will not only help my children with the memories but help me in the grieving process and my fear of losing my memories of her. You have been a great help. Thanks again. I appreciate it so much.
