Places, Music and Memories

My Mom and Dad passed away. My Mom has been gone for 7 years and my Dad has been gone for 23. I love living in the city where we live, though I don't live in the house we lived in. My siblings sold it when my Mom passed away and I could not afford to buy them out.


Daily, I see places that remind me of times with them. I hold these memories dear. Yet, it also makes me long for them. It's like I am surrounded by reminders of them being gone. Yet, if I go other places out of town, the memories are still there.


There are lots of albums and songs that remind me of earlier times in my life when I still had them. It really gets to me at times. I am reminded of the times when those albums and songs came out and what was going on in my life at the time and who was there at the time.


I am a very sentimental and emotional person. Places and music remind me of times in my life. I am guessing there are others out there who are the same way and have connections with places, music and memories.



Thanks!

Absolutely there are a lot of triggers..... I appreciate them most of the time now.... Sometimes I do go to a dark place but I can also celebrate their lives...... I think that there is grief that we never will totally get over.... At the same time it's do to being given the gift of people in our lives that we loved dearly.... Big hug......xo

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
