loss of a parent

Comment by Diamond on Sunday

I miss my Dad; he was one who truly believed in God and was always aware of his present.  How I miss the many conversations we had together.  His favorite scripture was Proverbs 3:5,6.  My Dad was in so much pain that death was a welcome opportunity.  My own selfishness, did not want him to go - I wanted him to remain - just so I can still talk to him and see him - yet he was suffering an ill-gotten health.  I miss him so - I just wish I could have had one more day with him.   I miss the many conversation we had where he gave me the opportunity to express myself as his child.  Sometimes, we take so much for granted in life that when we are face with it - we have to discover how to cope.  How do I cope?   Memories - that is something that can not be taken from me.  I cherish all of the memories I have of us together in good and bad seasons - and love all of them.    I am also an avid Bible reader and I take relish to what is stated at Revelation 21:3,4 and I am looking forward to seeing my Dad again.

I lost my mom last August.She died at home as she wished.3 long years of dementia took its toll on her and my family.I was her nurse the whole time.She had Muscular Dystrophy as well and was unable to do anything for herself. I am glad she is released but I sure am missing my healthy mom this Mother's Day.I'll visit her grave tomorrow and leave a rose.She had a yard full of gorgeous flowers.

My mom died on December 13, 2009, exactly 9 days after receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. She had turned 65 that year.  All of us are still struggling with it. It doesn't get better - well some things do, as far as now I can actually talk about her for a few minutes without busting into tears.  I've also stopped feeling the EXTREME resentment I felt any time I saw a woman who was older then my mo m walking around.  I'm ashamed to say that I would instantly think to myself - why did she get to live and my mom had to die?  I know, horrible thoughts but HONEST ones.  Now I am finally able to be around a elderly woman and simply think reasonable thoughts like " aww doesn't she look happy, nice family, things like that. 

We visit moms grave quite a bit, here is a picture of my sisters taking their first grandchildren up to see "grandma" for the first time.  Its kinda heartbreaking to me. I have a voice mail message that I  play when I am really missing her.  It say's, "This is your mom or Pearl, I must be in a spot where I can't be reached"  I love the fact that she identifies herself as mom first and also agree wholeheartedly that she is in a spot where she just can't be reached. 

Oh Momma my God I miss you and have a huge ache inside of me. The thought of not seeing you for another 20-40 years seems overwhelming at times.  I do know however, exactly what you would say to me. It would go someting like this, "Mary Sue you know how much I always loved you and your sisters and brother and you guys need to stick together and keep in mind that I am always in your heart.  Just do the things that you know I would want you to and continue to be the young woman and mom that made me proud"  

Here's the pics of mom meeting Everleigh and Lacey for the first time.

I don't think any of us are completely the same after the loss of a parent or loved one.  My Dad has been gone for 13yrs., Mom will be gone 2yrs May 8th, I try to visit there grave every month, just makes me feel stronger!  I just feel empty the kids are grown and now there gone.  My husband just retired and i can't be alone with my thoughts and feelings.  I feel like I lost my zest in life.  My funny bone is gone.  I always made my parents laugh, I can't get out of this funk!!!  I know they are at peace and they gave me the most wonderful memories.  everyone says its gonna be differant when you have grandchildren.  For the most part I just want to get through a day and see the positive in people.  So I'll just keep praying for the happiness of life to return...time takes time!

My father died suddenly on March 29, 2012. He was 52 years old. He left behind both his parents, a wife of 32 years, three daughters, two son- in-laws, and six grandchildren all who loved him dearly. My heart aches. I feel so empty and alone without him. He was such a huge part of who I am as a person. We were always so very close.  I was always "daddy's girl." I am struggling with many feelings - anger, sadness, confusion. I thought it would help me to talk to others who have been through a similar situation. I NEVER expected to lose my father so suddenly at such a young age. I just wish I got the chance to talk to him one last time.....and give him a big hug and tell him I loved him..........I know he is at peace in heaven and looking down on all of us but I am still so mad that he was taken from me.

Hello my name is Pam and I lost my mom on March 28th and I am having a really hard time with it. She was my best friend. I also lost of brother 10 years ago so losing my mom is making me feel really really depressed. I am just feeling overwhelmed because now I have lost half of my family. That is a picture of my mom.

Hi guys, I'm new here. Our mom passed away in her sleep on 4/11/2012. My brother and I have each other but we miss her terribly. My heart is broken and half of it died with her. I just need a place to vent.

Happy Easter to my mother and father in heaven. I miss you both so very much. A child, no matter how old, is never ready to lose their parents. It is a lonely feeling and a void that no other can fill, love you both mom and dad.

Happy Easter Dad Missing you so very Much. Your bear hugs, your smile, your wit and most of all Dad just talking with you. I reach for the phone everytime an event happens Tom and I both do and then we share what you would have said. Thank you for all your wise and knowing words.

Love you Dad
