Members canadakandyce Posted February 7, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I lost my Mom on August 4, 2007 to a stroke and a number of other complications, she was 66. I have been through 2 Christmas's and now 2 of her Birthdays. The days are going so fast now. I miss her everyday. I find myself singing her favorite songs and thinking about my childhood. I wish I could have given her grandchildren! I was 34 when I lost my best friend! Every weekend I bring my dog to the cemetary to bring flowers and go for a "reflection" walk. She was my hero, she taught me the importance of education, I just wish she was here to see me graduate with my Master's Degree. I thought it would get easier with time, it doesn't at all! Every day I think, "she is missing this, she isn't here for this, she doesn't see this". I miss her so much and my heart hurts every day. I moved into my parents home shortly after her death because my Father began having health problems. The drinking and depression is so much for me to bear, what do I do? I want to help my Father, but I also need to help myself, any answers? Thanks, Kandyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members connorsmom Posted February 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Kandyce,Congratulations on your degree. From what I've learned (and what I believe) is that your mom is aware of everything going on in your life. I'm sure she is proud!My mom has been gone for a year.......I miss her more then anyone can imagine. She was my hero as well. She was a character and a larger than life personality. ((hugs)) to you with dealing with your dad. Life sure isn't always easy.Stay strong......seems like the only thing we can do. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members canadakandyce Posted February 8, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks so much for your reply, it put a smile on my face and it helps hearing from others who are walking the same steps I am. It hard not beong able to call her everyday or meet her for a coffee like we used to do, but I know she's with me when I do those things alone. Thank you!

Members connorsmom Posted February 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm glad it helped you a little bit. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk more. I had a tough weekend getting through the one year anniversary. It would help me to talk to someone going through it as well.How is the weather in Canada? We've had a rough winter where I am.J.
