Grief.

I had a breakdown today.

I am so sorry Shannonkish.

You have lived through one of my worst fears.

I wish I could squeeze the air out of you... Since I can't, I will say a prayer.

Honey,
The break downs are good. I always feel so much better after I have one. Its like a purging of your grief.
My mothers death was easier than my fathers death. I guess because when my daughter died, burying her and greiving her was ALOT harder than my parents.
Its so fresh hon, and you are young to have your mother pass away. God will get you through this, HE has for me. Lean on him lady.
Here,
Take my life verse in my signature.
Memorize it and say it to yourself daily. He will sustain you.
My love,
GEL

Hi Shannon,

I, Myself am going through a mourning period lost someone who meant everything to me. I know its tough and seems like youll never ever get over it, but it will be ok. I started thinking about the good times and how God had sent me an angel to carry me through the hard parts of life. Your mom isnt gone, sweety, just in a different form. Sometimes people need to go, but they will always be here with us, to help, to guide, to love.
My pain has been so great that I felt like everything inside is dying, like I can do nothing but breathe because if I try to concentrate on something else, Ill stop breathing. It is tough, and it hurts so bad, even hurts to think about her. But it will help you to think about her and to know that shes your mom no matter what, and she has always and will always be there.
She is in a wonderful place, a place where no pain and no hurt ever is. A Place where you can go when its your time and be reunited. I think thats part of what has helped me knowing that.
Please, if you need a friend to talk to, you can email me anytime at. YOu take care and give yourself time to heal. Take care of yourself and dont neglect yourself, your mom would never want that for you. You live like shes still here, ya know? Nothing wrong with that. Talk to God, talk to her, it helps so much!!

Take care
Ange

Thanks. After today, I will no longer be a member at CF and therefore won't be posting replies. I appreciate your prayers.

It has been a little over 6 months. It is still extremely hard to deal with. I haven't been able to visit the grave the last 4 or 5 times I went home.

ArmouredSaint · Jul 18, 2005

i feel your grief,its hard to let go isnt it? time is all that heals,God helps us but it takes alot of time to heal.

Dear Shanon,
I know it's hard. I lost three people a aunt and two grandparents all in the same year. It even got to were the people at the Funeral Home knew us by name. SomethingI I wish was a lie. It's never good to completely shut it out. It's just denying to yourself how much that you love them. We all care for you deeply. Keep your chin up Shanon!
God Bless you and your Family,
P-Boy.

Shannonkish · Jul 25, 2005

Some days are harder than others... today, is one of those days.

Shannonkish · Jul 31, 2005

Well, Tuesday, August 2nd is supposed to be my Mom's 46th birthday. It is going to be especially hard for me on that day since I am 4 hours from family and friends.

Shannonkish · Oct 5, 2005

So it doesn't get any easier as time goes on.

gremlinsluvr · Oct 5, 2005

the pain will never completely dissappear. it may lighten, but it will always be there.

I'd say that depends on what's going on. My husband and I both lost our dads when we were in our early twenties. My dad wasn't still alive for our wedding. And our son has been without a grandfather.

I think landmarks are very hard. You spoke in an earlier post about it being around the time of your mother's birthday. Special dates or special time periods are very hard to face.

Life does go on and I agree with the statement that the grief lessens. But no one will ever replace that person - there will always be that void. I guess we learn how to carry on in a new way, and some days, as you yourself said, are harder than others.

Please keep sharing here with us. So many of us have our losses we are trying to come to terms with - I lost my mom this year. We all need to the support of others.

God Bless.

May I ask your age and your mother's age at time of death? what happened?
If you don't want to post it here, you can pm me, I would love to hear your story if you want to share it. If you dont' want to share, I understand. I lost my mother 2 years ago (Sept 26 was the 2 year anniversary).
I am praying for you.

Shannonkish · Oct 7, 2005

I am 24. She was 45. December 16, 2004 was the day she passed away. I was 23 at the time.

FollowHisPath · Oct 7, 2005

What did she pass from? Was it sudden, or an illness?
Were there unresolved issues between you, or did you have a pretty good relationship?
I am sorry for your loss. There is nothing like losing a parent, there is so much of "you" attached to them, you know? If you don't feel you want to answer the questions above, that's okay. I would love to hear, though if you want to share. Take care.
May the Lord be with you, may He breathe His breath of life into your soul.
Amen.
