my mother died.
i just stared at what i just wrote for a long time thinking numb thoughts again.
my mother died. it still sounds so odd.
and just when i wrap my brain around the reality of it my brain instantaneously shuts off, like a click of a button going off. i refocus but know in my gut that life will never be the same for me again. there is a gaping hole in my heart.
can anyone relate to this?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
But for the rest of the night until 4:00 - I sat next to her empty hospital bed here at home staring out the window. Her arm wasn't there to comfort anymore. I can't even tell you what I felt. I don't know. I just looked out into the dark night.
But I had alot ahead to take care of. And that's why I'm telling you - wake yourself up just long enough to realize that even planned final arrangements can go badly. You must try to hold the numbness to a minimum - just long enough to do some clear thinking for the next several days. Don't be convinced that someone else will handle it all.
You have time to mourn the greatest loss of your life - your Mom. But listen for her voice and what she'd be telling you right now. Think clearly.
Mothers are like the lanterns in a lighthouse. When they go out, we have to steer our boats more slowly and cautiously, to get to the shore safely.
My heartfelt condolences. I wish I could be there for you.
I'm sorry for your loss. Huggs, Rainbow
