arliemaria Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 since my mother died of inflammatory breast cancer. I didn't cry today. I don't know if I was supposed to. I guess life doesn't always allow time to cry. I do cry, but its really unpredictable. If you are Orthodox/Catholic, etc. and pray for the souls of departed please remember my mother, Paula.

gardenmom5 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) :grouphug: I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. It gets better. This week will be two years since my own mother died. (my father died in '75.) eta: if you feel like crying, allow yourself to as it is part of the healing process. If you don't feel like it, that's okay too. I had crying jag's for five years after my father's death. not so much after my mother's, though I certainly felt sorrow at times. I think it was because I was so much older and my perspective was very different. Edited December 11, 2011 by gardenmom5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda in TX Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'm so sorry. It's 7 years ago today that I lost my mom. I find that I don't cry when I think I should, but then it will hit me and I'll be crying on the way to the grocery store. Grief is a funny thing. {{hugs}} to you.

Guest Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am so sorry. Anniversaries are hard enough, but Christmas can make it hard also. My FIL died on Christmas day 12 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Blessings Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I lost my mom 9 years ago in September and I was just telling a friend that the Christmas season has never been quite the same. I miss her- all the time and in many ways. But I have finally reached a place that I can talk about her without crying. I remember happy things now. It is a blessing. I will pray for you during this time of grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaTanya Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 :grouphug: My mother's 70th birthday would have been Thursday. It seems that the anniversaries for which I brace myself pass easily. But I can get blindsided by the smallest memory. If you cry or if you don't, the loss is the same. I hate cancer. Praying with you. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothergooseof4 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I have lost both of my parents and a dh. I really didn't cry that much when I lost her. I had been through losing a spouse and felt that I needed to stay strong for my step-dad. I was now the matriarch of our family and I felt I had to stay strong for my sis. Plus, I guess I have become numb to that pain in the first few days. I have my initial shock cry, then I go into business mode. I find that I usually don't cry at times when you would think you would fall apart....their bday, the anniversary of their death, etc. Then out of the blue something will hit me and I will tear up. I cried the whole time I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner because that was her job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kebo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I'm sorry. I lost my mother to the same disease when I was 19. It does get easier, but certain events will trigger a fierce longing for her to be here. When that happens, I set aside some time to remember her and be glad for the time we had.

Delighted3 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I'm so sorry. It's 7 years ago today that I lost my mom. I find that I don't cry when I think I should, but then it will hit me and I'll be crying on the way to the grocery store. Grief is a funny thing. My Mom died a little over 2 years ago from matasticed breast cancer and I am the same way. I have said those exact words,"Grief is a funny thing". I think that I am coping well, but then some random thing triggers a deep sadness and sense of longing and I have to work through it all over again. I have often found myself crying in the car.

arliemaria Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thank you all so much!! I think I grieved a lot even before my mom died, mostly at her diagnosis. I do still cry and cried as I read responses, its not predictable at all. Thank you all again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
