- I work at a cash register - fully skilled but economy/job market is so bad, this is all I could get. I'm already worried about driving. I can't at night, if I'm smart. I'm beginning to not see items sometimes - right often right in front of...
- It's been 3 years since I lost my Mom. I know I'm a combination of depressed / schedule-challenged / and having had so much done for me in earlier years. But I'm no slacker. My housekeeping / clutter now is overwhelming me even when I take time...
- I wonder how many of you shared this: During my Mom's illness, hospitalization crises and passing, I was in touch daily with friends by email. Tonight, I was going through old emails in hopes of cleaning my box - but found that those daily...
- The first 9-11 signaled a turning point for me. Sent home early from work, I found a calm mother - who would ordinarily be calling me at work. She was unaware of why I was sent home. I'm an hour, if not less, from NYC.Ironically, six years...
- After reading a post here, I decided to mention this. It's approaching the three-year anniversary of my mother's passing, and only recently did I put Mama's name into the search engine. Just her name. A site came up with all the details about her...
- Not intended to sound like a personal pity party but I sat in Church this morning and this thought hit me suddenly. The place I'd worshipped years ago with my Mom - and where I've gone well after her passing, realizing I'd be alone. Despite having...
- Once we find ourselves in emotional turmoil, good decision-making is harder to do - particularly, when decisions were made with or by the person we lost - but no matter who it is, we become crippled emotionally.For me, my Mom was not just head of...
- It's holidays (not necessarily their anniversaries) that stir up memories - sort of creeping up on us. This morning, I found myself singing "In Your Easter Bonnet" - and suddenly remembered who taught it to me as a child - Mama. It was Mama who...
- Palm Sunday is not only the beginning of Holy Week for many but also a day when you visit people - living or deceased - and bring Palm. While Mama wasn't one for commercially made Palm Crosses, I'd decided to bring one in hopes of cleaning up any...
- After the passing of my parents, I thought I'd go on alone. I was always telling myself that one day I'd come home from Mama's funeral to an empty house. But a friend was here helping me during both their last months - later renting my upstairs...
- Today, was Valentine's Day - a day for sweethearts - the day before my birthday. I'm telling you this for a reason. I realized this year that Mama was my Valentine - all those years. She spent my life making Valentine's Day a special time in...
- There are those here who may remember me as MamasChild when this group was new. I left over a year ago. But for some time now have had the feeling to come back and share what's been happening. For those who are new - I lost my Mama, the best...
- It used to be we'd be blue because of a let-down after Christmas. Today, I experienced the strangest thing. I began taking the tree decorations down - and suddenly burst into tears crying out for Mama hysterically. It lasted awhile. This didn't...
- Embarking on a new year within a few minutes. Don't know what 2010 will bring - I just remember Mama saying what we do at midnight we will be doing all year...so, we shouldn't cry at midnight. So, while I cry inside recalling Mama and our...
- It's the second without my Mom but it seems to hurt more this year. I had such a heartbreak feeling this Christmas, I intended on posting here Christmas Eve / Day...but never did. I got the tree up - not nearly as elaborate as when she was here -...
