It's been two years, tomorrow, since I stood next to my mother and watched her leave us. It was a long and painful road to get there. Saying goodbye that crisp morning felt like somewhat of a relief, knowing she was no longer suffering. At that point I thought that was the end. But I've learned it was really just the beginning. The beginning of learning to live life without my mom/best friend. Because she had been sick for so many months before, I thought I was used to the fact that I couldn't call her everyday or that she wouldn't be at special events or holidays. But still now, two years later there continue to be revelations of things that she won't be able to witness. There are times that I want nothing more than to be able to pick up the phone and get her advice on something.
Blog posts I wrote during her suffering, losing her and grieving.

ReplyDeleteLisa, I am so sorry for your loss. One of my biggest fears currently is losing my dad because his health is going downhill so quickly. Some nights I cry myself to sleep just thinking about losing him, so I cannot imagine how the last two years have been for you. ((HUGS)) I'll say a prayer for your comfort tonight.
