I just happened by your expression of sympathy note and it touched my heart - and I wanted to let you know as a Mom myself I know that your Mom would be so proud of a loving daughter like you - it's obvious and so normal that you're still holding her memories so close in your heart - I lost my mom when I was 12 years old and I too felt like you when my friends seemed to take their mom's for granted but unfortunately we can't make others understand some things - it has been nearly 40 years since my mom passed and I still miss her but as much as we sometimes don't want to hear about it - life really doesn't stop for our grief and heart break - and just be aware that you will experience all sort of emotions and feelings from your grief -try not to be too hard on others they really just don't understand. I've lost my husband and summer 2007 I lost my youngest son too - loosing such close family members is really tough and very hard to deal with - I am still struggling and grieving - my heart hurts terribly about my son and I miss him soooo much - he didn't cope well with his Dad being sick and passing away - PLEASE reach out for HELP if you need it to get through this hard time - sometimes reading materials about grief can help you to understand what you are feeling - your Mom knows you love her try not to be so hard on yourself - she would want you to live your life to the fullest - maybe you could think of something you can do to honor her memory - my daughter and her good friend gave me a poem and made me a blanket out of my sons shirts - it was so sweet but it was hard for my daughter cause see she has lost her Dad and her closest brother - hang in there - your mom wouldn't want you to stay sad or be angry -she loves you and Jesus does too! I will keep you in my prayers! Heartfelt sympathy with loving understanding!
