My mom knew me best of anyone throughout my entire life, after all I am 51 years young and who else to have talked to, listened to, cried with and grown up together more with than my dear loving Mom. She died this past July 16, just two weeks before her 78th birthday. She lived back east with my younger sister. They were much closer than I was towards then end of Mom's life. I was close to her when I was a youth. I helped her to raise my younger sister and brother whom are 10 and 12 years younger than I. My mom was a beautiful woman, body, mind and spirit as was her mother of Irish descent. She lives now with my dad in Heaven where they have been united once again and get to live happily ever after. Sometimes my heart hurts so much, I have pain in my chest where my heart is because of her not being on this earthly plane. In my mind, I know many Spiritual principles about our new relationship and that she is closer to me now than she ever has been. I suppose the grieving process is about aligning my mind and heart once again where she is concerned because I loved her so much. Also, with her passing, I seem to be grieving again over the loss of my dad, whom I loved so dearly. My sister and I are becoming much closer, which my mom always wanted for us. I am very happy about that. Thank you all for being here and especially for this website and discussion group. I feel better when I read a little and write a little, it helps to lighten some of the sadness. God Bless. Love, Linda
