Mom and Me

I posted this in honor of my mom who died a year ago on Memorial Day. I miss her terribly.

I have learned so much through her death. Right now, I am learning that I have a lot of love inside of me that is supposed to go to my mom, but I can't give it to her, so I have to give it to others. Each person that I share this love with can tell that it's a special love, and feels blessed to experience it. (I mostly share it with my therapist.)

Hi CG

It's so wonderful that you had that moment with your mom

Catgirl, what a wonderful thing for you to share. The picture seems to capture so many feelings. Thank you for sharing everything you do. I know I feel blessed to have met you on this forum.

Oh God. What I feel for you and your Mom. Just makes me cry.

Wonderful picture.

God Bless You and Her.

Just another thought.

Mom's and daughters sometimes have such a tough time together, but underneath it all is LOVE.

Funny. This morning I watched a Frasier episode where Frasier and his dad were feeling so different from each other - wanting to be close, but finding it so difficult. Reminded me of me and my Mom. Our relationship is so often not an easy one, but, god, she's my MOM. Irreplaceable.

LOVE & PEACE

I tried to write something on here yesterday but couldn't figure out how.

THis picture is more than a thousand words. I can see how much you loved your mom.

I am very close to my mom and she is dying. I cherish this time I spend with her now.

Jo,
I am so sorry to hear that your mother is dying. Didn't you say that your father is very sick, too? What is your mother dying from?

My heart truly goes out to you. The death of my mother was the toughest thing that ever happened to me in my life. The only thing that I think would be worse is losing a child. Cherish the moments that you have with her. Let it be a time of openness, love, connectedness, and healing.

I love my mother so very much, and the pain is still strong from losing her. I think it will be there forever.

If you want to talk to me more about this, I'd be more than happy to chat with you. I found, and still do, that connecting with people who have/are going through this can be helpful and healing. People who haven't experienced it usually don't understand.


To ALL
Thank you for taking the time to look at this. It means a lot to me to share it and have people see the love that I still have and always will have for my mom.

I'm going to try to post a couple of more pics of my mom and me on this album, though that probably won't happen until at least Sunday.

Hi Jo.

I hope each moment with your mom fills you with love. You deserve that. I am thinking about you.

I just watched Farrah's Story about Farrah Fawcett. She died in 2009 when she was 62. My mom died in 2008 when she was 65. They were about the same age. The way that she handled her cancer was so similar to how my mom handled hers. She was such a fighter! (Mom was and Farrah, too.) It brought back so many memories. My daughter watched it with me, and we had some good crying/bonding time together.

It made me really miss my mom. Death just sucks.

Catgirl, I am glad you got to watch with your daughter, and be with her. It sounds like your mom was a very strong woman. The picture you shared show your love for her.

"It made me really miss my mom. Death just sucks"


Keep drawing on your strength, and look for all of the warm memories you have stored, to sustain you. If it helps to talk about your mom, I will chat anytime.
