I miss Her

[chriscoscia07]

I miss my mom. I know that each and every one of you understands exactly what I mean and what I feel when I say that. Things have been going really well for me recently which has its good and bad. I started a new job in January and it's going really well. I'm settling in, learning a lot and making new friends. That's the good. The bad is that she

It is hard to give advice on this since I am going through missing the times with her that I needed to have her advice. I am getting married on Wed. and wish so badly she was here to see it. She would make the same jokes as I do by stating "It's about time, it only took you two 12 years and 2 children". I would say this and having my children were the worse times for me with missing her. Even though I know she is not physically here to advice me, I still ask her questions and feel I get an answer from her inside me. Does that sound weird? It's been 15 years without her and even though most of the time I get through life, there are still times I miss her terribly.

My Mum died two weeks ago and i am unable to allow myself to grieve properly. i started a journal hoping it would help. I find it hard to believe i will never see her or hear her again. And I dont have the faith required to believe she is waiting for me somewhere. I hope she is but I have nothing to base that hope on.
Stay strong x

To CC So sorry to hear that you are missing your mom. I know how you feel. I am past middle age and I think of my mum (I live in the UK!) every day and sometimes I still cry about it.

She would want you to remember her, and to think that no one could ever take her place but she would also want to know that she has given you the strength to go on without her. I know I worry that if anything happens to me my grown up children will not be able to cope without me because they are still dependent on me in many ways, but I would hate to think of them unhappy when I go, I would want them to talk of me fondly, miss me to some extent, but be strong and confident enough to make their own way in the world. Don't think that being happy is in any way a betrayal, it is not, it is the love and the care your mom has shown you making you who you are. You owe it to her to say you'll be ok, to close off the grieving and to stride out as a
