I lost my mother last week. I feel unconnected, untethered at times like I could float up into the sky and away. I miss her so much and although we did not always have a smooth relationship, that seemed to change once I had the wees. A new understanding for her own life, plight, struggles, tests. She bravely battled breast cancer for years but this still happened somehow unexpectedly, suddenly. She was easily the kindest person I have ever known. I don’t know how this empty pit, this wobbly belly, will ever reconcile. I love her so much, want her to visit me again, come to me in a dream, hear her voice on the wind. Life is so fragile, precious, hurried. I vow to live differently now.
I am very sorry for your loss. My mom passed away about 7 years ago. I will pray for you to be given healing, peace, strength, comfort and whatever else you stand in need of.
Thank you.
If you ever want to talk about it let me know and I can give you my email address.
Oh my, I am so sorry for your loss and this fresh, heart breaking grief…I feel a kindred bond with you about mothers. My mother and I have had rocky times as well, but when I had my own children I understood her so much better, forgave so much, got so much peace. My mother’s health has been in jeopardy since I was young and I have had to contemplate her passing many times, She is still with us but I live with it in the back of my mind all the time, with an aching dread. I will keep you in prayer and hope for a dulling of that horrible pain. I will also take a lesson from you, about living less hurried. Your words hit home with me; what a blessing for your openness and honesty:)
Thank you Beth. Sorry to hear of your mother too; will think good thoughts for many more quality years together!
