cherrie: I lost my very dear mom sept 13th 2009 on grandparents day. I"m so lost without her. I write letters everyday I still talk to her but my heart is broken and I really think I won't ever get over this. I have 1 oldest sister 1 middle brother and I was the baby. I was her healthcare provider for her for years. Now my dad don't want anything to do with me. That too breaks my heart. Theres times when I just don't want to go on anymore more days of those than the thrive to live. Please if anyone out there knows anything to help me get thru this I would love to hear from you. Thank-you and God Bless
This is for everyone. Probably most of you have read this. I didn't write it and I really like this poem. Maybe this will help a little and I know nothing will ever make everything okay.
I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
I don't know if anyone saw "Lion King" and we went into New York a few years ago to see that. In one part, I am not sure which character was depressed as one of his Parents had passed away and another character told him that the person did not pass away......................and was told to look in the water and the character told him the reflection was himself and that his Parent/s live on inside of her/him....................I thought that was really beautiful because our Parents do live on inside of us and we learn their traits and how to treat people and all of their attributes. Peace to all................GailM
Gail, you are so right. I have taken a long look at the Good i have learned and taken inside of me, from my parents. Even from my father. and i told him this while he was in critical condition. I thanked him for helping me learn my great love for nature and all animals. From animals i recieve unconditonal love. U see, he was a very brutal person, and i found my only avenue to love in animals when i was very young! so i made lemonade out of a lemon. I found peace in this.

I've been following these posts and wanted to share this. I was going through papers and cards my mother had and came across this one. I wrote this to my mother a few years before she died, on her birthday. She saved this. I'm so glad I wrote this to her.
Mother...
I am a part of you...my umbilical cord...
Tied to the very center, the core, of my being.
I look at my life and all its moments,
And there you are... always a part of it.
My life has been painted against a background of your life.
Am I copying you?
Or rebelling against you?
Feeling different from you,
Or feeling the same?
Wanting to break free
Or wanting to hold on?
Who I am is so much of who you are.
What I think is so much of what you've taught me.
Where I start is where you end.
Where you've been, I will follow.
What Life has taught you, I will learn...and more.
Despite our differences,
Our Love exists.
When I was little, it was just you and me against all else.
As I grew, I watched you struggle to make a home for us.
No matter how rough the world, you were a rock for me
Always there...always strong.
Unconditional Love.
Knowing you would always hold my heart tenderly in your arms,
No matter what.
Knowing I would always hold your heart close to mine,
No matter what.
Two lives...one heart.
Created by one body.
From before birth to now,
Always a part of each other
So that if we took our Love away...
I wouldn't know...
Who I was.
i 'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS YOU GAIL, BUT THE BOOK THE SHACK...JUST HAVE TO READ IT.. ALL OF IT!!!! HONEST TO GOD... IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!

I know something of how you are feeling. I am 39. I will be 40 soon. It will be my first birthday without my mom. I lived with her. We did everything together. I miss her everyday. I , too, just want my mom back. She was everything to me. I am lost without her.
Bobbie Lynn DeMers said:My mama passed over last year Jan 2008, at age 56 from Alzheimer's. I think she died from the medication, because the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her for the year before she died, the medications seemed to make her worse. I don't know different people have different theories. I can't even begin to tell you what I went through trying to make somebody see she was getting sick. And now I'm estranged from both sides of my family, I'm not married and have no children. Enough about me being all alone, but she really was my whole world, we were best friends, we went everywhere together. I even lived with her and took care of her. I can't seem to understand that she's been gone well over a year. My worst fear has always been losing my mama and now she's gone. I can't get on with anything. I'm 36 years old, and I don't know how to live without her. I'm so sorry for all your losses, and it does help to know I'm not the only one, although I'm still so alone. I don't think I'll ever get over this, seeing her suffer is what really hurts, too. And the way my family doesn't seem to care how I am. (Is that selfish of me)? She sends me signs all the time. But every day is still a struggle for me. I'm bitter today, towards my family, the doctors, even God. And I'm sorry. Will somebody please tell me it'll be okay one day? Or just let me know you understand? Thank you so much for reading, and sharing your heart, too.
Lorna said:I am 49 and my mom just passed away May 1 and I feel the same about wanting my mommy back. I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I just go with it and allow myself to feel it. I think it is ok - a bit cathartic.
Robin Bro n said:This is so true! My mother died unexpectedly in April and I don't know how long I will deal with the greif. On top of that, my uncle - her brother - died two weeks ago from lung cancer and I don''t know what is harder...the grief from his death or the greif I feel all over again from loosing her. And I am fighting with my brother and sister-in-law about every thing. Does it ever get better. Will I ever stop wanting 'my mommy' back at the ripe old age of 46?
