The doctors said she would not make it through Nov... I just returned from staying with her for 8 days.. she is doing well for her condition. We know her day is coming.. and like you, I will miss her greatly but until it actually happens and you experience the grief you never know how that feels. My thoughts are with you.........

I know each of us grieve differently--and at different stages after losing someone we love, especially our Moms. Mama has been gone 6 1/2 years now---but I sometimes still feel an overwhelming sense of loss and grief. I want life to be like it once was again. Losing my brother Charles 2 1/2 years ago has also been soooo hard for me---the two of us were so close. Please be patient with yourself and understand it's o.k. to have the feelings you have. I hope you will soon feel brighter and encouraged and more joyful---about yourself, your sweet family and your upcoming trip. Hope things seem a little brighter today.

I love tea, all things tea, and tea parties which captured my interest. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I am motherless daughter, too. Life grows over the open wound of sadness, but the scar remains. I wish you well and may you find all the joy life has to offer. Isabella I came across your blog title on the front page.

We missed sharing so much together... seeing me get married (24 yrs today), being there when her grandson (now 23) was born. Still at times I find myself grieving and wishing she could be here for me to talk and confide in. Grief is part of the healing process. It's not always pretty but its something that we all have to go through and deal with in our own unique way. I'm hear if you ever need me and I have big shoulders. Love ya bunches! Hugs & kisses.

Grief is part of the healing process. It’s not always pretty but its something that we all have to go through and deal with in our own unique way. I’m hear if you ever need me and I have big shoulders.

Love ya bunches! Hugs & kisses.

P.S… I’ve always wanted to do a tea party! lol

We are coming up on 3 years since my mother-in-law passed away from cancer. While she and I had our differences, I loved her. And now there are times that I am "trying" to do something new with baking or sewing / quilting, and I just start crying, remembering the times I had with her, the things that she taught me and how that is all gone for now. I will be praying for you. I would like to say it gets better, but I can't , really. But it does get a little easier. Much love and blessings to you today, Pat I almost know how you feel.

My heart goes out to you as you grieve in your own way. You and your mother were one at one time - you will miss her. No matter what kind of relationship you had, I believe there is always a tie/bond between mother and daughter. I lost my mother December 6. My heart goes out to you as you grieve in your own way.

Your Mom will always be with you, smiling proudly so when you feel the tears coming on, let them flow, it's all apart of the healing process! Hugs!!
