Sad Couple of Days - Page 3

brandiwine · ‎03-11-2010

I lost my mom in 1984 and my wonderful MIL in 1979. I still miss them everyday. I also lost an Uncle that was much more of a father than his brother was. All of them left at early ages, 63, 47, and 50. To this day I talk to my mom about Days of our Lives. I have a vision of them being pain free, youthful, and with no cares loving each day of peace. I feel them around me when I need them. On their birthdays and mine I thank them for the wonderful memories they left me with and it takes the sadness away. As I get older, I realize we will see each other sooner rather than later. Enjoy each day and the gift it truly is.

@Jordan2 I am so very sorry for your loss, and that you have that missing piece in your life. But also, rejoice that your mother was that good to you and that important that you miss her that much!

I hope that makes sense in the way that I wish you comfort and happiness.

Wounds may heal, but they still leave a scar.

My mom died in 1988 at age 63. I still miss her every day. Hugs to you.

Sending virtual (((hugs))) to all that need this today.

Many inspiring comments on this thread. I was just thinking of my mom that passed over 50 years ago. I was young when she passed and have experienced life and love many times since her passing. Although our time together was short, she remains at the top of my list of people whom I have loved the most.

@Jordan2 Take comfort that you will see her again.

As a mother, I know she would want you to be happy and live your best life.

Try to find your joy, happiness, and most of all peace.

You have my empathy and sympathy.

Honoring and keeping your mother in your mind and heart means she will never leave you. Grief is not a timeline, it is a process Time is healing but some wounds are too deep and never fully heal. Seek solace and comfort in your mother, in family and friends.

God bless and keep you.

@Jordan2 - I agree with this statement made by Rose Kennedy, regarding grief. I refer to it often.

There is no time timetable and you never get over grief, in my opinion. You just get through it.

I still grieve for my grandparents who died in the 60's and 80's.

I grieve (and still cry sometimes) for my mom and dad who died in 2011 and 2016.

I very much still grieve for my husband who died 2 1/2 years ago.

Just be gentle with yourself. Again, for me, it's a lifelong process. It gets easier to handle with time, but it's not like taking an aspirin for a headache and the headache goes away. Doesn't work that way.

gidgetgh, this is one of my favorite quotes and it is perfect here. Thank you for posting.

@Jordan2 I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my momma in 2016 on Jan 30. We both share January birthdays and I make a pledge to Always ask GOD to give my momma a kiss on the cheek and tell her it is from me and that I love her and miss her everyday!

I think I am in the minority here but I do not miss my parents. Both suffered for quite some time near the end of their lives and I am grateful they are no longer suffering. I try to remember them as they were during the many good years they had before they both got ill. My husband is always pointing out things I do or say like they did so in a way they are still with us.
