    • About Me

      I am a marrried mom, who always seems to have to much do. Thank God for my wonderful husband of 22 years and children who understand and love me. Am the youngest of 5 siblings but have always been designated to deal with any issues relating to our parents. I almost never say "no" to friends or family if they need me. I believe that you learn something new everyday no matter how insignificant it may be and always remain open to new ideas and challenges.

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      It's been a month and six days since the loss of my mother. Mothers Day weekend was a very painful and lonely time for me. My mother would have been 93 on her birthday this year. I remember her spunkiness and the "I'm doing it my way" attitude. I thank her for teaching me to be an independent woman. A characteristic that I have shared with my daughter. Although I try to be strong I find myself crying out of the blue. I have yet to return to being my usual self.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      Crying is a temporary fix for me. It allows me to cleanse my system and then I move on for a period of time.
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      I've just joined the online group and I think it helps to be able to just log on. My family and friends are always willing to listen, but I don't want to inconvenience anyone.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      I find myself cleaning everything. Cabinets scrubbing counters, cleaning out and color coding closets. I have returned to work but somehow I just haven't been able to get in sync. I find myself lythargic at times, I want to sleep more and find myself turning down invitations because I really don't want to be around anyone.
      Pets Working / Worked
      I have a dog and cat with great personalities. they bring me joy and I love them very much.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I say a prayer everyday that the lord take good care of my mom. I pray that we all get through pain.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      Remeber the things mom and I did together bring me moments of joy and peace. She was a great mom and an awesome cook. I remember the family gatherings and how much fun we had with my brothers and sisters and their families. The one thing that will always stay with me is that if you came to visit us you would never leave hungry, my mom jusst wouldn't allow it.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I talk to my children (both are in their twenties) but I try not to burden them to much, because they are also grieving and I hope that by talking to them I can help them start to heal.
