Re: A Sad Birthday

Bless your heart...losing your mama is so hard. Tomorrow will be sad, especially thinking back over previous years, knowing you would get that call, but it will no longer come. I hope you will find some joy in remembering her, remembering your birthday card & remembering how you used to fuss at her for giving you too much. That's what mamas do. It's those fragrance of memories that we can carry throughout our lifetime. May you find comfort in thinking of her on your special day. Happy Birthday.

@Jordan2 It's good that you cry and let it out. It sounds like you had a beautiful relationship with your mother. My mother is in heaven for 10 years and it is still difficult because I miss her so much. Mothers do have a way of showing their love to their daughters and there is no love like a mother's love.

kindness is strength

I was still in my 20s when my wonderful Mom died very young of cancer. Your grief is understandable to all of us who have been through it. It's been almost 39 years....I still miss her, and think of her every day. But as time passed the horrible ache was replaced with just sweet memories and a good feeling that she is safe and happy...and I know she is still loving me.

Getting through the first couple years is really hard..,,then hopefully you will start to find your new "normal" and the raw pain will become something softer and more liveable.

@alicedee I am so sorry you lost your mother at such a young age. I was lucky, my mother had turned 92 five days before she died. Some would say, you had your mother for a very long time, but really no one is ever prepared to say goodbye to a loved one.

@Jordan2 You are so right....no matter how old you are...how elderly a parent is.....losing a beloved Mom or Dad is a huge heartbreak. Sending you a virtual hug.....your Mom is still loving you and pulling for you to be at peace. It will come. 🌷

@Jordan2 ...I hear you Jordan2 and I know how you feel. It will get better as time goes on and there will of course be certain days something will remind you of your beloved mother. It's hard, no doubt about it, but I promise you it will get easier.

I can only imagine what losing your mother is like. Mine will be 91 in Oct. and I can't imagine my life without her. She is such a dear and so precious to me. This past few weeks I have noticed how feeble she is getting and it breaks my heart. I am praying today that you will be comforted.

I lost my mom almost 11 years ago. She had been ill for some time, but you are never fully prepared. I miss her so much. If I close my eyes, I can imagine her coming into my kitchen with a plate of home baked goodies. I used to love to buy her pretty clothing, and took mom, her cousin, and a distant relative out frequently. How I miss those days. I do believe in my heart we will be together again.
