stop it..
I was sitting at work today, during a moment where I had nothing to do. For a split second..I got excited and thought, i’ll call mom and chat. Is that weird…it happens once and awhile.. then I just got really sad.
I also had quite a few near tear moments. Those are still more frequent than the forgetting shes gone moments. I’d say almost daily I get almost upset. I get teared up, but it goes away. I guess it’s a step up from crying everyday. There are only a few moments in particular that make me cry..maybe i’m supressing the rest, because there were a lot. Usually it’s when I think about being in the Hospice room with her at the end, her last breaths, and the burial. I’ll save the details on those for later.
You know, I’m not really sure why I feel the need to write in detail about my mom dying..maybe it will help? I’ve always been able to articulate my feelings better with writing than speaking. I hope it doesn’t weird anyone out..
I saw you on the front page, were from my home state (SUNY Oswego ’98) and that you just lost your Mom to cancer. I walked in those shoes 5 yrs ago, and only recently have I been able to think about my Mom without being tearful. You are so young like I was to lose someone so near and dear. Let yourself grieve, and be open to whatever help will help you..every day is a new day. Stay focused asmuch as you can to not think about it. I can say this in hindsight, but I truly know where your heart and brain are right now. I pray that you’ll accept prayers from a stranger for God’s peace.
