Four years

[greatbear]

Hard to believe that it's been 4 years since I lost Mom to cancer. The last few days have been rough on me, with the memory of this day still raw in my mind and my own recent medical problems getting the best of me mentally. My Mom had a knack for reassuring me that I miss dearly. Be it a kind word, some life experience to call upon, or some homemade soup, Mom could fix just about anything. That's what moms do, I guess. I miss her terribly, and always will.

I am terribly sorry to hear about your Mom's passing coinciding with the past few days, Phil. I think that you need to be cheered up. I hope that my previous post will do just that! HUGS!!!!

Hugs to you. I know you miss your mom. I lost my mom in '93. I still miss her.

I am sorry for your grief. I hope that thinking about her love and writing about it here provides a little comfort. Warm hugs!

Hugs from here too dear.

I lost my Dad in '98 but still have my Mom to visit, of which I'll be seeing her again this coming weekend. :-)

I know the feeling.
Best wishes, sir.

Wow! Time does fly. Although she is gone, your mother can still provide you with some reassurance. Think of what she would do (What Would Mom Do?) if she knew you were feeling depressed and missing someone. Then, do it. Every time you do that, you are honoring her memory.

Just a thought.

Hugs.

I feel your pain, Phil. It's been over 17 years for me, and it still hurts....

My dear, dear, friend. I remember all this like it was yesterday for you. I send you my fondest wish's and warmest hugs. With the 3 of us moving back to the mainland by the end of the year, hopefully we can finally meet after all these many years my friend.

You'd think it would get easier...
Losing a loved one is hard enough, and as the years roll onward, the memories linger, gaining a glow, the patina of time, but the sharpness never seems to dull. Still, it's good to remember those times of long talks and hot soup.
Food for the soul.

Sorry for taking a while to respond to this-- it's taken some time to sort through my own feelings, to offer any comfort I can give.
