Thread: It's been over 8 years....

It's been over 8 years that my mother has passed away. There still remains this huge void in me, this huge sorrow. For the first year and a half after she died, it was very diffficult to keep myself composed everyday, I wasn't very sucessful. That part has gotten a lot better but that hole is still there and for some reason, I'm really feeling it today...... I just wish she was still here. I need her.

Awww sweeite I understand. It's been 12 years with my Dad but it still feels like yesterday.
I know I vent about my Mom on here...alot...but I vent here instead at her.

Pepper,
It's been almost 5 years since I lost my mother. She still is the first thing I think about when I get up and the last thing I think about before going to bed. So many things over the years (that she's been gone) that I still want to call and tell her about. They say it gets better with time but it's still difficult, I know. ((((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))).

Almost 10 years for me...and I feel the same way. It's also been 4 years since my BFF, Judy died. I miss them both so much and I'm not finding it get better. I have more peaks and valleys. Some days it is much easier than others. And then some days...the loss is still so fresh and new.

Hugs to you!!! I know how you feel.

I am so sorry that you are sad today. (((Pepperpot)))

Thank you everyone...some days it just gets to me more than others.

And yeah, somedays she made me crazy, but I'd take any crazy day rather than not have her around. And when she made me so crazy that I complained and vented, it didn't mean that I didn't love her nor appreciate her.....it just meant that I loved her enough and cared about her enough to make me crazy. No regrets, we're all human....there will never be anyone in your life like your mother. She's the only one who was there before, during and after we're born....and her presence is still with me, it's just different.

Thanks again....and Sunnie, don't beat yourself up....it means you just love her that much. If you didn't, you wouldn't be around for her to make you crazy too. vent away, please....I've been there as well.

to all who have lost their loved ones If we didn't love them that much, it wouldn't be affecting us, that much. Mom was loved.

it has been 16 years since my dad died. I do not mourn for him like I used to, but there are times I still miss him terribly. My oldest son who is 28 looks just like my dad, and has his kind and gentle mannerisms.

You guys make me want to cry! You have my prayers and sympathy! I just moved right down the road from my parents and we are so close. I talk to Mom about every other day on the phone.
My parents are both 80 and I know they wont live forever. I cant even imagine life without them. Dont think I will even be able to handle it. My parents are very religious and are totally prepared for the future and whatever it brings. I am also, but it still doesn't make it any easier on the ones left behind.
My parents have lost 7 children and I think it made them the most amazing people in the world to have went on after all that tragedy in their lives. I am the youngest and I am truely blessed that they were strong enough to have went on and not fallen apart, Lord knows I am not sure how they did it and it is something my sister and I will never understand. I cant even tell you how special they are!!!!!!
