Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 dear helene, after reading your post, i just sat there for a few moments. not able to move, nor respond. I too lost my mother, my best friend, a few years ago to breast cancer, and she was only 64. we were very very close and saw each other everyday and talked so many times a day on the phone besides that. its been two years and there are times that i still run to the phone to call her and tell her something that my son or daughter has done, or whatever. i read an incredible book that my rabbi suggested i read after she died. it is titled Motherless Daughters. It helped me tremedously. I don't wake up in the middle of the night crying like a baby much anymore, nor fall apart when someone looks at me and says.. " i'm so sorry " but not a day will go by that i do not think about her. I have noticed that as time passes, my thoughts tend to be " warm fuzzy ones " " good memories " or i will notice something that my daughter (21) does or my son (17) and say WOW... is that Libby or what! and i find myself smiling. Since you had such a wonderful relationship with your mother, as i did, we were blessed. now we must strive to be the kind of women our mothers were so that they will remain proud of us always and we will pass their GOOD along to our children and their children and in a way, our moms will go on forever. God Bless and if you would just like to spill your sadness... im just an email away. hugs from jodi in miami Open RNY 1/29/99 Dr. Norman s Vencore Hospital, Ft Lauderdale, Florida pre op wt. 206.5 5'3 " lowest 106 gained to 140 ish low carbing back down to 127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
