a tribute to my Mum
a tribute to my Mum
The thing I miss the most is her unyielding support of me no matter what was going on. I could discuss things with her. Even if it shocked her at first, she would always pay respect by listening to what I had to say.
Anyway, I just want to express that I miss her and am pleased she was in my life as long as I had her.

Thank you very much, Dollarhyde. I appreciate that. I really didn't expect anyone to post on the thread. I just wanted to express how I felt.

So the next day I bought her in and laid Kim down next to her with her arm around her. She told me she like Kim. I wish now I took a pic but I didn't. A few days later my mom passed away. As I write this I cant help but cry a bit. She was so awesome.
Ahhh. How sweet. Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Of course, you are still crying some. It's fresh. please take care of yourself.

Dude...dude, that story is of an awesome person; one who loved you very much. No matter what, you'll always have that. No one can ever take that away from you.mg4 wrote:shimu3z your mom sounds alot like my mom who just passed away almost 2 months ago. She knew I had a Teddybabe.

Re: a tribute to my Mum
When my father died, I wrote down some things that I learned while grieving. Whenever I hear about this, I tend to forward it. May they bring you some joy. Should you want to talk to me more, then please send me a pm.

Hey dude, as someone who lost his father, I'm going to let you know a few things about life in the aftermath.
- It gets easier, but you never forget.
- There's no correct way to feel nor correct way to cope, only the ways that you do. Most people feel intense depression for a while that gradually decreases with time, flaring up during important days or triggering events, but this might not be what you do.
- You may come to terms with this faster than you expected; one of the most common things people talk to their therapist about is that they feel guilty that they don't 'feel worse' at times, especially true in the proximity of the death of the loved one. I myself still get watery eyed from time to time, but mostly came to terms and moved forward faster than the rest of my family. You might also take longer. Neither is good or bad, they just are.
- Find a way to keep yourself busy. There is no quick fix to this, but any time you're not feeling sad is good. Its not unusual to feel perfectly happy working from dawn to dusk and then suddenly get super depressed when you drive home and begin to think of your dad again.
- If you love that others are helping you through this process, then soak it up while you can. Most of your friends will get back to life 2-4 weeks later, while you will never forget.
- On the other hand, a lot of people will want to say the one perfect thing to you to cheer you up, only to realize this doesn't work. This is because we grew up on sitcoms and that was what happened. Just tell people if they want to help you, you will vent to them when you need to.
- Go see a therapist for grief counseling. You will not regret it.
- It gets easier, but you never forget. So profound its worth saying twice.
- There's going to be a bit of "They Live!" going on in your life, when you suddenly recognize just how many other people lost their parents too. You may only want to hang out with them for a while. If so, thats fine, you're not obligated to let other people attempt to help you because they want to and think they can.
I'm here if you need to talk and I'll keep you in my prayers.
