  1. allalone, your post sounds just like what I would write. Aug. 18th will be one year for me and I miss Mom more now than I did the day she died. I, too, live alone, although at least I do have my two cats (one is hers, whom she dearly loved). I think about her every day and how naive I was to think that the good life I had as a child would just go on and on without any problems. I was looking at old pictures last night and everyone was still alive and everybody looked so happy and we looked like we were having so much fun, and now that has all ended. I'm glad you took your flowers. If I lived where Mom is buried, I would take flowers every day. I will be thinking of you. Grief-stricken
  2. My mother was my best friend and role model. She loved her family and all living creatures. She was beautiful and always looked her best. She was a wonderful cook and always prepared delicious meals. Her house was always neat and tidy and she liked everything to be in order. It has been almost two months since she died and I still miss her every day.
  3. Shell, I am just now returning to the board as I have had surgery and just got out of the hospital Saturday afternoon. I was saddened to read about the passing of your dear mother. I know you miss her deeply, as I do mine. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Grief-Stricken
  4. Shell, a friend of mine suggested I keep a journal in order to write down my thoughts and feelings. He said he did that, although not every day. He said he sometimes writes thoughts or ideas or sometimes Bible verses or quotes he really likes and this seems to help. I started doing that the day of my mother's funeral. It was hard at first-I cried and wrote and cried and wrote. I can do better now, even after only 14 days. Maybe you could write about your kitties or write a poem for them or whatever. It doesn't have to be long, only one or two lines if that's all you want to say. Hope this will help you. Grief
  5. You will always miss him, but you won't always be sad. My first cat died in 2002. I had her for 16 years and she was my baby, too. She was strictly a mama's girl. I had to have her put to sleep, which added to my grief. She died in April and I got another cat in Aug. This may be too soon for some people, but it was what I needed. The cat I adopted was six months old and came from a no-kill shelter. My mother's cat, who was older, readily accepted her and they have been friends ever since. I love her and she is my sweetie, although I have never forgotten my other cat and pray every night for God to take care of her and tell her her mama still loves her. Hope this will help you. Love from my two babies, Alley Cat and Callie
  6. Thanks for the poem. There must be something about the 18th (June and Aug.). I think there won't be enough time left in the world to get over losing someone who has been there everyday for 54 years, rain or shine, day in, day out, good or bad. I bought a book called "Comfort Prayers" by June Cotner which you might like. When I read some of the prayers and poems, it seems like I am writing them because they express exactly how I feel right now.
  7. My mother died Aug. 18, 2007. She moved in with me in 1994 after my father died. She lived with me until March 16, 2006 when she went to an assisted-living facility and then on Apr. 2 of this year she was admitted to a skilled care (nursing home) center. In the last five months, she had had three hospitalizations, the last two not even one month apart. I am an only child, so I feel completely lost. I want to call her and/or see her everyday. I can't believe she is really gone. It is like a dream. My pastors, Sunday School class and other church members have been very loving and supportive, but the hurt is still there. I feel like my life has ended. I am supposed to return to work tomorrow, but am dreading it. I would appreciate any help anyone could offer.
