It's 16 years today since my mom was killed in an accident in the middle of the night

I was 5.

I never got the chance to say goodbye.

If it wasn't for photographs i wouldn't be able to remember her.

I wish i could go back, even if it was only to give her one last hug and to tell her how much i love her

I am so sorry for your grief. I will pray that our loving Lord will comfort you and embrace you with HIS peace.

My mother was killed last December in a car crash; a third offense drunk driver hit her head-on just before Christmas. I know where you're at with wanting that last hug, or last chance to say how much you love your mom. I pray they can look over the ramparts of Heaven and see our triumphs, and rejoice with us in our joy, I like to think they can. Losing your mother when you were so young is tough, but I believe all things like this happen for a reason, I like a lot of C.S. Lewis's writings on grief regarding this, you might check into some of it if you haven't already. Know this, however, the parting is only temporary, as you WILL see her again, and you'll have an eternity (literally) to be with her and our Father. Our existence on this spinning orb at that time will seem like minutes to us I'm sure. What are a few years in a place without beginning and without end? In the meantime, cherish the memories, embrace them, cry when it helps, laugh when you can. It's seemingly tragic incidents like this which remind us how fragile and easily changed life can be - take the time every day to kiss those you love and let them know how much they mean to you. Don't let the sun go down on anger or leave problems with friends or family unresolved. As we both well know, life can change the blink of an eye. Will pray for you, take care and God bless. He will always be with you, and your mother's loving spirit is still alive in you or you wouldn't feel as you do. Isn't it a marvelous proof that there is existence after death, simply because we know that love doesn't end at the grave? Just because someone is gone, we don't stop loving them; what more concrete proof that our spirits continue could anyone ask for? Sorry to ramble, again, take care and God bless.
