Your words regarding your mom put me to tears. I too lost my mom 4 years ago, and brought her home from the hospital to take care of her in her final months. I remember all the struggles, the lack of nursing, not sleeping because you are afraid to leave her alone and the memories that linger once they are gone. No one can pick your time to move on, and you may never "move on" but I do promise as the months and years progress each birthday, christmas and yes, mothers day, will get a little easier. Until then, keep moving things back to normal, resist the change as much as you like, and always keep her close in memory, and close to your heart. We all know that friends come and go, but moms are forever, and she will live forever in you and your families hearts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488563484609392036.post-34288055930299571182008-05-26T22:10:00.000-04:002008-05-26T22:10:00.000-04:00Great post, bebeh.

It's very personal to you, but it also makes readers think of their own moms and it's a great tribute to moms everywhere.<BR/><BR/>In just under 3 more months, I am about to experience what it really means to be a mom, and I think I will then gain a whole new appreciation for my own mother (not that I don't appreciate her now!).<BR/><BR/>Although I can't speak from experience, I am sure that in time, it will get easier for you. And that time is different for everyone. You're right, people deal with things in different ways, and that's ok. It's great that you remember your mom the way you do.<BR/><BR/>xoMamabeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413129040703348030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488563484609392036.post-18322586174940495612008-05-18T11:46:00.000-04:002008-05-18T11:46:00.000-04:00Bret ~ Came across your blog via bohemian mom.

Your post was so loving, sincere, and such a wonderful tribute to not only your mother but your entire family. Thank you for exposing your heart. <BR/>AlexandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488563484609392036.post-60380499850271163262008-05-12T11:32:00.000-04:002008-05-12T11:32:00.000-04:00I definitely think you moving the new plants your ...I definitely think you moving the new plants your dad planted and putting back the furniture he moved is your way of still holding on to your memories....the grief is still fresh and you're not ready for that change yet. That's ok...you will be ready one day whether it's days, weeks, months or years. Everyone deals with it in different time frames. I can't imagine how hard yesterday was for you...but I hope you were able to find some comfort in her favourite dinner with your family and with your neice.

Having lost both my parents. believe me when I say there is no "timeframe" for grief. You and your family will know when it's time to let go of her material possessions. Until that time, enjoy sitting with her memory, surrounding by her things and her scent.... but remember even when the tangible items fall away, she'll still be with you.<BR/><BR/>Powerful and candid writing.<BR/>xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
