@Goodie2shoes A lovely tribute to your mother. It sounds to me that there was a lot to love about her. I pray your memories will be extra sweet and special this coming Mothers Day.

@Goodie2shoes , as I think I posted at that time, I'm still sorry for your loss because I know your sorrow is still just as deep.  April was a time when Covid was so new, so uncontrollable!  

 

One of my cousins died in that month after being sent home with Covid to die alone.  They didn't know what to do at that time. It was a guessing game, survival of the fittest.

 

I'm sure you have many beautiful memories of your mother that can now put a smile on your face.

Thanks to all for the kind words and understanding that I just wanted to note how much my mom meant to us and how we miss her.  My mom's dedication to nursing was my inspiration for becoming a nurse myself. I"m retired but have so much respect for the nursing field and what they have done and gone through themselves trying to save lives from this virus. Many times my mom worked 16 hr days during her career so being the oldest I had to make sure everyone had dinner and  homework done after school. I visited her gravesite today left a rose and thanked her again for her love and support to us all.

Very many here can relate to the loss of a parent. Some the exact day and time they found out of their death. Grief, as most here know, is different for every individual. 

 

I am sure this 2 years, at times, seems like yesterday. At other times it may feel like a long time ago. Our minds and hearts do not always work on the same calendars when it comes to this type of loss.

 

My mother died 53 years ago, and on a special day, on the calendar. I can only say, time helps, but it does not remove the sadness. One can only do the best they can when it comes to dealing with this type of grief. 

 

My thoughts are with you on this very difficult day. 🙏

So sorry for your loss!  They say time heals all wounds -- well, it does help to lessen the pain but the loss of your mother never goes away or gets better, really.  My dear mother passed several years ago and in some ways it feels like it just happened.  Every day I think of her and every day I miss her so much.  At least now, I can think of her - the good things and not cry constantly.  Your mother sounded very much like mine.  Very hardworking, determined and selfless.  We were blessed to have such wonderful women in our lives.
