  I am so sorry. I remember when you came on Soulcast and had just lost her. You have had a lot to deal with since but I hope that you will eventually celebrate mothers day and be a mother your self. All my best wishes to you and I hope that you can think of your mother one day without your sorrow and just enjoy the thought of this wonderful women. Love Skald.

  My mother has been gone for 25 years. This is one of the hardest holidays for me.

  dear Sunshine: well, it has only been one year.  and I feel much sadness with you on this one.  It takes four years to begin to get over that kind of loss: even in the best of circumstances. 
   
  example: I had a very close relation to my mom too: and she spent her last 10 years in a  wheelchair, and we were parted by distance and poor or no phone lines.... but still maintained our bond of love.   when she died, I sensed her presence right away.  I was raising 8 little ones alone, and was so busy, I did not even have time to cry.
  a couple of years later, life slowed down a teeny bit, and... I was picking up my bedroom... and I realized, as I did so, that... the last time I had done that, had been 2 years before, just before my mom died: and I realized, that: even though I was not thinking about it, or feeling it: I was still Grieving: in a very real way.  and it still took that other 2 years to begin to feel somewhat normal again... even though I talk to her and sense what she would think...
  so, my condolances, and, I hope you can connect with her memory in a positive way.  I came to the conclusion that, most of our grief is for ourselves: because it hurts so much to have to continue on without the comfort of love and help we get when mom is still near.
   
  happy mothers day, mariah.  {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}

  hi Sunshine, I am sorry that is so hard to face. I lost a sil /friend and mothers day is brutal having to see her kids once again without their mom.
   
  But this year we actually celebrated. We had her pictures and showed my niece the different ways that she resembles her mom. The connections were easy and fun and uplifting(they have the same hands and feet, funny!)
   
  . I promise, time will show you these little ways of healing. It is probably on e of the hardest things we think...to say goodbye...until we realize we never really say it at all! Remembering with you.....yes moms are so great! and in your life, you will honor her again when you yourself become a mom if you so choose...love you! M
