drummer-dude, so sorry. thanks for sharing this with us. i lost my mom almost a year and a half ago and i miss her terribly, even though she was sick for a long time. all beams to you and your family--and hugs to you through the ether.
And you know what also it was two years 21, November 2005 that i lost my dad.
So it really hard for me and my brother and family. I forgot to mention that. Yes very rough. Mom was 78. My dad was 79 and would have made 80 on January 1, 2006. He would be 81 now. I thank you for all the condolences.
Drummer Dude, lost mine years ago and still haven't gotten over it - don't think you ever really do. She was more of a best friend then a mom when she died suddenly (also in December) and I sure miss her brilliant advice and long chats we always had. Oh well, what can you do, life is unfair and many times it sucks but there's no other choice but to deal with it all. Time is a healer and the passage of time is the ONLY thing that seems to help a bit. Sorry for your loss and I know EXACTLY how you feel - put on a sad song and have a good cry (did it for months myself after, it helps)...... Helter
Your own mum is always the best in the world and I am sure she was.We never forget our mother and I am sure she is in a beautiful place now.Condolences to you and your family.
Your mother is still alive in you. Much of your DNA is from her. So you´re still together in a way. I lost mine on my 19th birthday. The same year Lennon went. The years have made it easier. And as hard as it is to accept, it is the natural order of life. Parents should not have to bury their children. Try to take each day as it comes. Grieving is natural and the way forward. If you´re finding it too much to cope with, get help. It´s OK to ask for help. And it´s OK to cry. Good luck. What doesn´t break us, makes us stronger. Maybe without knowing it, your mother has been preparing you for the day when she´s not around. Parents are good at that. My dad is 73. I know his time will come sooner rather than later. I very recently told him not to worry about me when he is gone. Because he has equipped me well to deal with. Of course it´s going to hurt. But that´s the natural order. Take care of yourself. Your mum would want that.
