But overtime the hole gradually fills with all your memories of her, all the things she said and did and was. The things you laughed and cried about. The joyous occasions you shared. But - it takes time to grieve first. |

But it does get easier and the memories stay with you and comfort you. They always bring a smile to my face. My dad was not perfect but I loved him just the same. He left his world with the knowledge that he did everything he possibly could do to support his family. He deserved more than what the world gave him. Right now you need to focus on the fact that your mom is no longer suffering. She is in a place where she feels no discomfort and very much loved. I know she will be watching you and looking out for you. She lives on in your heart, through you and your girls. Look at your girls and see what it is about them that reminds you of your mom. The same with you. And when you really think about it that way she is still giving to you in many ways. Big hugs to get you through the day!

Seven years after my Dad passed away, I find myself quoting his funny sayings and recalling out of the blue something he said or did that makes me smile at the memory. Take your time and you'll be okay. We're here for you in any way that you might need us. (((((((((Krissy))))))))) |

I've lost an LOT of family over the last say 20 some years or so...all my aunts and uncles on both my dad and mother's side, grandparents, parents, pets, and in-law's here recently, neighbors and good friends...One every year for the last three years in an row. You never get use to it..you just learn you have to go on...we are not immortal souls as of yet. There is an heaven. |
