Hey Daughter2010! My Dad als died in hospital. I know it just seems like we have something to smile about and bam there it is another person you care about is sick.

Maybe if we could talk about some of the good thi...

I don't think that you forgot her you have just adjusted your life without your Mom. I don't think that you ever stop thinking of them ,it's just not the top center focus in your life! I'...

When we lose a parent I think we all second guess ourselves. You have to remember we don't decide wether we live or die. Your Dad was sick, he had a disease that there is no cure for. He has been blessed by the presance of God!!! I lost my Mom to cancer and my Dad. I was a caregiver to both. After watching them struggle through life I truly believe it was a blessing! Take 1 ...

How are you doing today? I too was the caregiver and I find it strange that I don't cry more. I guess you as a caregiver spend most of our time with them. We have more time to talk and accept what is to come. My Dad taught me alot af things, one was adversity was part of life. We all have different relationships with our Dads. It sounds like you were very close!!! 23 years later...

When my Mom found out she had lung cancer I thought, Wow!!! they can cure you so much had changed since 1988 when my Dad had same cancer. But it was advanced!!! I always told my Mom yhat God was sending her and I on another journey together!!!! For her it certainly was a journey!! 2 years and many doctor appointments, radiation, chemo,and Blood infection, trips to ER. There was nothing more they could do. So she looked at me and said no more chemo!!! I want to live the time I have left not sick everyday. I want to see my children and grandchildren and great grand-children! She just wanted to savor every moment she had with us!!! So life went on until it could no more. She was such an inspiration to me! So strong, loving, there for us even if she was having a bad day!! So the day came when we said good-bye and I love you for the last time!!! I know God has welcomed her into his kingdom!! Our journey together had ended, but both of us were going to start new journeys!!! It's just parting of ways for awhile til we meet again in God's glorius kingdom!!! I know she is with me, but i miss her hugs, her smell, our conversations!!!!! Well Mom keep a journal of your journeys so someday you can share them with me!!!! Her spirit will forever live on in us!!!!

Hi erin! Sorry to hear you had a bad day. Take your time!! There is no time frame when your grieving. It's in your time no one eles. We all handle grief differently! My brothers and sisters are not feeling the same that I am. Do you have brothers and sisters? We are all different. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. We are very different! Hope today was better! Hugs and...

You know why I picked sunshine? My Mom used to sing You are my Sunshine when we were little. I sang it to my children and granddaughter. Now my Granddaughter sings it with me. My favorite thing is my Mom moms sung that to her growing up! I hope we can keep the song going for many generations to come. It was very nice of you to write back! Thank you!!!! ...

It has been months since Mom died and I have not been able to cry. I'm not sure if it's because I was her caregiver and I just had more time to prepare for her death? 2 years was a long time to prepare my self emotionally and mentally! I have flash backs to the last month of her life. You know I hear it in my head. Mom died at home and I never went into see her that last day. When I went in to see her after she passed Mom just looked so peaceful!!! I had no tears then or during funeral or since then. Do you think that that's strange? My siblings cry but not me.

Take care of the important things first. The other things will be there when you are ready. When you are so close to them it's hard to get rid of her things. The first things we got rid of is shoes, handbags, then clothes. It will get easier as time goes by. My sisters and I all have stuff to go through. I also lost my Mother in Laws things to go through because she passed away a year prior...
