I really hate the fact that there's a whole generation of music that I can no longer listen to without feeling these pangs of sadness in my heart. I can't listen to The Delfonics or The Chi-Lites or Blue Magic. I can't listen to The Whispers or Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. I can't even hear The Commodores anymore. Do you know how much I ( Read more... )

Oh vina...I wish I could just hug you so tight right now, not say a word, but just hug you with all the love that I have.

Thanks Fran. I'm fine now. But you have moments, yanno? But I'm good now.

*hug* This isn't something you're likely to get over soon, if ever. I wish I was more encouraging. But I lost my dad 12 years ago, and I wasn't even very close to him, but to this day I associate Billy Joel music with him and I get weepy when I hear it. I mean, there are times when I'm feeling ok, and I can listen to a song of his, but overall I get very depressed. It strikes a chord in you (no pun intended) and I think songs can take you to a place with this person, or you're even given a peek inside of them when you hear certain songs you know they loved. It's really personal. I'm sorry you're experiencing it ( ... )

You're right. I'll never forget her--and I don't want to, of course. I'm just very anxious for me to feel something other than sad when I think about her. I'm ready for me to remember her with happiness and pride.

Some songs I'll definitely have to stay away from. Hopefully, though, I'll be able to listen to most of it. Here's hoping. What you said about the memory being worth the pain, that makes so much sense. I'll have to remember that. Thanks, Vic. That really does put things into perspective. It REALLY does. I'm grateful. :)

That's really sad because that is the best and only real music. I think for right now you probably will not be able to listen to the music, but later in the future you will be able to listen to the music and celebrate those good times instead of wanting to cry.

It is the best music. I genuinely LOVE it, so I'm hoping that I don't have to give it up. I don't think I will. It'll take some time though.

I don't have a clue how you feel but I tend to agree with Vik in that no matter how much time passes or how much easier it gets, you are always going to feel an irremovable bond to your mom.

It sucks to feel sad but don't ever feel like you're not entitled to those feelings for however long you may feel them.

My hope for you (that's cheesy huh...all poetic and stuff) is that someday you can embrace the memories of your mom with that you have of your mom - music and all - and not feel so sad.

LOL, Not cheesy at all! I appreciate it, and I'm hoping for the same thing. So thanks. :)
