Missing Mom

[Grady]

I lost my mom 3 months ago. She died very suddenly with a pulminary embolism, while I was with her. I feel so lost and the Lord feels so far away. I am wondering if anyone can share with me how they began the journey back to a healthy place.

my cousin lost first his mom, then his dad and then his step mom all with in a couple years. And I lost my mom too about 4 years ago.. I know how you feel, she was evrything and all you want to do is cry, and maybe your feeling lonely to. I got back to a healthy place by spending alot of time with close friends and remembering. I know it's hard but remembering the good times is the best thing you can do. It brings closure.
Don't worry your not alone It will be Okay Grady

thanks for the encouragement! You're right, sometimes all you feel like doing is crying. My mom was my best friend and my biggest fan. But I'm slowly learning that faith is more than a feeling and at the lowest moments, it is our hope. I'm trying to remember that God does know about loss. He never asks us to go through anything He wasn't willing to go through Himself. I'll be praying for you and your cousin.

I lost my mom on January 26, 2004 very sudden and very quick. She passed from a Massiv Intracranial Hemmorhage...unsure of whether it was an Aneurysm or Tumor. My mom was my best friend and I still feel like I'm walking around in someone elses life. I don't know if the journey to getting back a healthy some what normal life will ever return. All I know is that the Lord is never far away. All you need is God and Time...that is a very wonderful song, if you ever get the chance to hear it. The song just simply states that all you need is God and Time to help you get through. I feel the closest to my mom, while I am praising the Lord in his Sanctuary. My mom and I attended church together all the time. I don't mean to get Preachy or anything, and I'm sorry if it seems that way. I just want you to know that I know how you are feeling, and that the Lord is closer to you know than before...at least that is how it is for me....God Bless

Thanks for your encouraging words. I know you're right. I'll be praying for you during your time of loss. It's nice to know that our mothers are with the Lord. I take much comfort in the fact that God loves my mom even more than I do. Though I'm brokenhearted, as I know you are, we have hope.

Blessings!

A very eloquent man I once heard was asked to do the eulogy at his mother's funeral. Racked with pain, he kept coming up blank except for the same two words over and over "she's gone, she's gone". In his despair, he felt God's words on his heart saying "Finish the sentence, my child. She's gone HOME."

We are all homesick, and don't really know it. Mom was here on earth with us for quite some time. Now God has His angel back, perfect and pure. Oh, what a joyful reunion that will be when we see mom again. Keep her near and dear in your heart until that day.

Dunno if my incessant ramblings help or not, but my fingers weren't tired yet.

Yes, your words really help. I spent the weekend at my mother's home and realized that she is in a place beyond description. Even if she could come back, I don't think she would. Being with our savior-- I can't even fully imagine what it is like. Somehow, through the pain of my loss, I realize her gain, and part of me has to rejoice. I miss her so much, but I can't begrudge the joy she has now. I have to trust that I will someday be able to grasp the eternal. Until then, we have to hold onto the hope our Lord presented. However, my heart still hurts.
Thanks for the encouragement!
