Today has been a really bad day for me. One year ago today, my Mom passed away. I miss her everyday. And as silly as it may seem, I really felt for Gary losing his dad. My Mom had cancer also, and it was a combination of that and a bad heart is what took her from our family.
I know that she is no longer in pain, and her suffering is over, but the greedy side of me says "I want her back and I want her now"
Thanks for letting me vent...

It is ok to feel the way you do!! It is ok to miss them and to want them back. I lost my Dad last May to cancer...and not a day goes by ...several times a day that I don't think of him...and want him back...but we know that someday we will get to see them again...that and all the Happy memories is what helps me though and I hope that those things help you....and Gary too. Talking about it with other people who know what you are feeling helps too and that is what we are here for. **hugs** to you!!...here for you anytime.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. What you feel is only normal. You have to have faith in knowing that some day we will once again be with all of our loved ones and that that time will last for all eternity. And your Mom is still with you...in your heart and in your memories. Somehow I hope this helps you.

I'm sorry about your Mom and Jacie about your Dad. I'd be lost without my Mom. I don't think I would even want to be here. I can't imagine living without her. She's my best friend and has always been. I feel for you both. ((Hugs))

IT'S OKEY TO FEEL THAT WAY, GIRL. I AM THE SAME WAY ABOUT MY DAD. HE HAS BEEN GONE 5 YEARS NOW, AND IT IS STILL HARD TO BELIEVE HE IS GONE. I MISS HIM SO MUCH. JUST KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT YOU AS YOU GO THROUGH HARD DAYS.((HUGS))

Sorry about your mom. I am still lucky enough to have both of my parents, but went thru losing my Dad in law a few years ago--he died of lung cancer. Saying prayers for you and sending you some hugs from KY. Take care.

I know what you mean Jill, my dad has been gone for 20 years and my mom for 16, I miss them both everyday! Hang in there and let others help, never forget her and think of her often, you are allowed to do that!

Hugs to you!!! My dad's been gone for 14 years and I miss them everyday too!! Sending you prayers for strength!

Hugs & prayers.
I lost both of my parents & a Sister this year, Keep the faith, it gets a little easier.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I got through the day. I laughed, I cried. I hugged my kids alot. The only thing I didn't do was listen to Gary. I know his songs would have helped me, but I just don't want to hear one of his songs tomorrow and think "wow, I listened to that on Thursday and cried" Does that make sense?
Anyways, thanks again..
Hugs to everyone
