To lose your mother in death is like someone cut out a part of your heart and it seems to never grow back however in time for me the grief lessened i hope it will for you. The Bible assures us: “God is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) May you find comfort in her memories that are yours to cherish.

Dear Stacie,

I am very sorry about the loss of your mother. Mothers are very special and hold a special place in our hearts. Adding to Kathy's words, the Bible also gives us a wonderful hope to look forward to. It is found in John 5:28&29:"Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." God has the power and the desire to bring back to life those we've lost in death here on earth. So you have the hope of seeing your mother and being reunited with her again.

Until then, take comfort and strength in these scriptures.

My sincerest condolences.

Sweetie, Nobody knows how to deal with their mom's death. I lost my mom last year. Sometimes I cry, scream, kick things, sob. A way that has helped me is to find something that reminds you of your mom (the moon, a flower, shoes, a cat--doesn't matter what it is if it reminds you of your mom) and whenever you see it say hi Mom and talk to her. Don't be afraid to tell people you're hurting and you're mad and you want your mom back. It is hard and it's not fair and we all want to do things over. Good luck to you and I hope you find your way to deal.

Thank You for that Bible Verse. My mother was killed suddenly in a car accident on March 17, 2010 and I am struggling daily with my feelings. I am the only daughter with 3 brothers and mom was like my sister. We talked almost daily and saw each other a couple times a week,. For 15 years we together with dad owned a quilt shop, now when I go to work there, it is so painful to see everything there that we did together. I try to talk with dad daily and make so he is doing ok. I just hurt all the time, and one minute I am ok and the next in tears.

After my Mom passed on Jan.6 2012 I felt the same way I feel right now. There is no peace, even in scripture. Its like I am walking in a dream state. I am only going through the motions and it is torture. I am missing my Mom. Mom

I just lost my mom on 3-27-2010. I keep hoping it's a dream and I'll wake up. She died from cancer and I was there with her when she took her last breath and I believe I will never get over that but I also know she wouldn't want me to remember that time in our lives but the great times we've had together.........
