Losing a loved one

San Dimas, California

Today marks a year since I lost my Mom. She was only 68. She had a lot of medical issues, but she always pulled through. I would tell her she had 9 lives. I feel like doing something to celebrate her, but sadness fills me. I guess I'm still grieving. I miss her very much, but I know she is no longer in pain.

Belated condolences! My mom also passed away in the month of February but in 2006. Was your mom born in 1950?

I don't think time really heals, it only makes it hurt a bit less. I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 5 years ago and not a day goes by that I do not think about her and wish she was still here. Moms are so special. Your mom was a beautiful lady.

@favorgrais it's not easy but we should always find a way to live. If they were able to make it out on their own and so are we.

I lost my Mom in 2007 to massive cancer @favorgrais . She was 77 and my Dad last year; he was 88. I still miss my Mom every day. That picture of your Mom is absolutely beautiful. I look at my Mom's all the time and miss her laughter. So I can relate and I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was way too young. I lost my mother when she was only 62, and I still miss her and think of her every day. Your mother was very beautiful.

It saddens me when they leave us so soon! They still have more life to live, but unfortunately we can’t count the days as to when a loved one will no longer be with us. And thank you!

She is happy now in Gods hands and care so you have to not be too sad because she is surely okay.
