  • It seems to me you have been seeing a psychologist for your problem, and you have the demeanor of a class room teacher, maybe you should persue a career in the lecturing area.

  • No kidding, your line "She wass one of the few people who call me just to talk" really struck home. My grandmother was like that. She passed away a few years ago, completely lucid to the end, and I didn't realize how much we talked until she was gone. She was the only person in my life who had the time just to chat, about whatever happened to be on either one of our minds. And such good advice, always. She was a gem. I'm lucky that my kids are teenagers, so they knew her well too. Lucky us.

  • I lost my Mom last month. I miss knowing she's a phone call away. I miss asking her for cooking advice. I'm sad that my 6 year old and 4 year old will never fully know her. I miss her quirky ways. I miss everything.

  • My mother died when I was 12 years old of a brain aneurysm. I'm now 41 and have 4 children...3 of them being girls. It seems like another lifetime when I remember being with my mother. I've missed her and needed her many times in my life. I've had to solve my own problems and to be independent. I try to be the best mom I can to my kids and often wonder how I'm doing since my mom wasn't here long enough to give me advice. 

  • I lost my mother February 2nd 2011. I miss my mothers infectious smile, her advice, her love, her ability to build me up when I was down, to talk to her daily, and joking around. I miss my mother's hugs. I wish I could cook for her she loved that. I wish I could serve her and pamper her and shower her with hugs and affection.

  • Maria -

    Save some time on Mother's day to get together with other girlfriends who have lost their mothers. Everyone should bring a picture in a frame of the mother. Everyone should take turns and tell stories of the deceased mother. Everyone should light a candle next to the picture and have a moment of silence/prayer for the deceased. Make it a good ritual day - not just a Hallmark holiday. Peace!

  • Very touching and well said. I think your Mother must have been so proud of you as a daughter, sister, mother and wife. You seem to be abe to wear all these hats and wear them well. How truly blessed you are Maria. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult and transiitional time. God Bless! please post on Father's Day too. I lost my Pop 7 months ago and like you I was a Daddy's girl with all boys. I miss him so much.

  • If flowers grow in Heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me ▬▬▬ place them in my Mom's arms and tell her they're from me. ▬▬▬ Tell her that I Love and Miss her, and when she turns to smile, ( ◕‿◕。) ღ ❤ place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. I love and miss you Mom

  • My mom died one month befor my 14 year old daughter was born. I loved talking to her on the phone. The other day I picked up the phone and had inadvertantly dialed her phone number. The phone was ringing when I realized what I had done. Oh, my did  I cry.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ"*•.¸¸

  • My mom died 2 years ago after a decade of increasing illness and disabilities. She was a very strong personality and despite of her illness, she never lost her positive attitude. I miss her at all kinds of moments but the hardest thing is not being able to share all kinds of things that happen in life. It's just so nice to share happy things with your mother and also to have a good talk when life is mean. Think of her every day and miss her very much.

  • My Mom was a very special person who I looked up to. I saw her in so many difficult situations and how she handled it and how she treated people and she was a great example for me. Everyone needs someone like that in their life. I have the impression that you are that kind of a person in the lives of your family and friends and I hope you will remember your Mom and keep memories of her alive to comfort you and remind you of who she was to you. Try to give yourself what she would give you.

  • I feel very touched that you have taken the time to express how much you miss your Mom. It is very unusual for someone of such celebrity to try to reach out and connect with the average person, and I do feel an instant connection, because my relationship with my Mom was so important to me and left such a void when she passed about 10 years ago. I miss everything about my Mom too. I think that she was the one person in my life who was always on my side, always supportive as only a Mom can be.

  • My Mother was my best friend, from her love I developed great faith, strength, and self worth. She was abused in a Satanic Occult when she was a child, and buried the memories. After raising 6 kids her memories returned and she spiraled into depression and self hatred from her abuse. I was a huge support for her and believed she would pull through, but when I was 29 she killed herself. We were best friends, I was lost, there's no words. But she did teach me in her death how to love my kids.

  • My mother died 16 years ago from breast cancer. Just last week I was walking some of the dogs, and she popped into my thoughts. I remember her working in the kitchen as I sat at the kitchen table the morning after my first real boyfriend broke up with me. I was very sad-of course. She could tell I was sad and offered to take me to the shoe store to buy a pair of cowboy boots I really liked. I remember that very well--how she took care of me like that. I miss her a lot.

  • I miss my mom very much. She passed away four years ago very suddenly. I feel such a big hole. I have five kids and they all really adored her, there is no one else like her in our family. We all miss her, her sense of humor and the fun that she brought to us. I loved talking to her about anything, I can't believe how many times I have said " I'll ask mom" and then the realization that I can't. I miss her laughter, our talks on the phone. I am 51 and I am welling up because I miss her so much

  • I am not sure how I feel anymore. My bio Mom gave me up, was adopted in 1952 but things didn't work out so well. I finally started to understand my Mom (adopted mom) once I had my child and I was 31 years old. We started to get along and she passed away by unfortunate events in Feb 1983, my daughter was born Feb. 1982, she missed her Grand daughters first birthday. I miss the good part of her but is still hurting about all the bad. I do envy those who have or had a good relationship with theirs

  • You were close to your Mom as I was. I find myself wanting to call her then realize I can't.

    She was my one person in life that just was, no matter what! She was a fabulous cook..I will never eat a good meal again, no one compares. We were 16 years apart. We were to grow old and sit in rocking chairs together, feel like she left me. She was the smartest woman I have ever know. It doesnt get better. I keep thinking okay the jokes over, come home now !! rip momma 5/25/36 - 8/9/2008

  • I miss my mom's voice and sleeping next to her..she died when I was 5.

  • Thanks for posting this. My mom is 64. She is a lifelong smoker, She smokes and doesn't want to eat well, and also gets stressed about everything. I am so scared about something happening to her. They say life goes on, But i TRULY can not imagine how it would be to not have her in my life. She is not good at communicating, or expressing affection, it is just the way she is. My dad died when i was 4 years old, I feel like i have to care for her, provide for her , like a man would. husband would

  • My mom passed away August 15, 2009. She was 65 and I was about to turn 40. I remember thinking, "if I live until I'm 80 I have to live half my life without her. How will I be able to do that?" I still don't know sometimes. My two girls keep me busy they are still little so I know that I have a lot to look forward to. I guess what I miss the most about not having my mom here is her comfort in the face of fear.  Whenever I faced something that made me scared she would comfort me. I miss that.

  • I didn't really have a mom that was there for me so I look up to strong women like you who have a very strong influential female presence inside and outside the home. You're a gem!  I have always adored and admired you!

  • I simply miss my mother. I feel alone. My mother was just always there, to talk to just to simply be together. I struggle everyday since her death. She was funny, loving and full of life. No one can seem to fill the void in my soul from the loss of my mother.

  • thanks for recognizing that, Ms. Shriver! my mom left when i was a baby and we have had a horrible relationship since then, but I was raised by my grandmother, my one and only REAL mother who passed away 10 years ago, so i celebrate her (every day!)

  • Thanks for recognizing those of us who arent as close to the Mom bond :) Mine was and is today such a tough cookie. I appreciate all that she does through the thick and thin of things.

  • my mother was a mighty potent force; as the years rolled by and with each illness came another, I was always trying to persuade her to make changes, thinking she would live longer; I wasted so many years, why didn't I just accept her for who she was, ironically I am just like her; when she was passing I asked for forgiveness and she asked me to forgive her...wow, if I could do it all over again...I miss her; I use to call her every morning ..a belated Happy Mother's Day

  • In the 60's, friends and I planned a European trip for when we were 21. W/college, marriages, boyfriends, etc, I was the only left and very disappointed - I just couldn't go alone. Crying on mom's shoulder, she asked, “Why not?” “Huh?” was my erudite reply. “Life happens, if you don’t go now, you’ll never go. You’re responsible, I trust you – go.” I went, had a wonderful time, and at every place I stayed, a surprize card w/a $20 bill was waiting, each one posted before I left - sigh.

  • My mom passed away 37 yrs ago when I was 7. I still miss her today, her voice, her hugs and most of all her patience & intelligence. I was a very curious child & she would always take time to explain things to me. I try to be that way with my kids.

  • My mom died when she was 36 years old, I was only 16 and an only child of a single parent..she was everything to me and I didn't realize the enormous loss it was back as I've come to realize as the years went by..it's been 35 years and I miss the relationship we never had as adults. I miss and hurt when I think that my children never knew her love. I miss her every day!

  • I would like to say thank you. I miss her laugh, I miss her love and knowing she was the one person who totally believed in me. I miss her with my kids, the tender patient love she had for them inspired me to be a better mom.

  • I miss everything about my mom. But I miss being around her the most with my children. It was the happest moments and how she would make me laugh. I miss visiting her. i miss my mom so much.

  • My mother passed away in Nov., so this is my first Mother's Day not having her here. My mother was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's approx. 3 years ago, and although it was an aspiration in her lungs which took her from us, I grieved losing her for quite a long time. As the months have gone by since her death, my mother as I knew her for most of my life is coming back to me. I miss the rock who was always there to steady me. I would like to tell her one last time how much I love her.

  • I miss everything about her. And I miss her every day. But I will remember her always in my heart because that is where she belongs..

  • Thank you, Maria, for a thoughtful Mothers Day video. I lost my Mom in 2001 shortly after 9/11. I miss her still today. I share the feeling of wishing I could pick up the phone & have a chat with her. I always felt better after we spoke~she just had a way of looking on the bright side of everything. There are times in my life when I'd just love to share with her & it breaks my heart that I can no longer do that. She was my truest inspiration. Happy Mothers Day Mom ♥

  • My mother died March 4th, 1999. She was an excellent provider for my older brother and me, and she raised two decent people, if I do say so myself. Mother felt she had to be hard and tough in order to maintain control. So I never liked to be around her. We never ate dinner together as a family. I find myself mourning not so much her loss, but the loss of the relationship we could have had. Neither my brother nor I ever had children. I wish I missed my mother.

  • I'm fortunate to still have my Mom (she's turning 80) but I feel for my friends who have lost theirs. Thank you for the reminder to cherish the simple moments with my Mom. God bless.

  • What don't i miss? I miss my Mom's smile, her cheerful disposition and her undying loyalty and support for everything I did- she was strong and a pleasure to be around- I miss her every day

  • Thank you for this video. It is very touchy and reaches the heart! Everything you say about your feelings are greatly shared with everyone who is in your position. G-d Bless!

  • Segun el link de Twitter.com RT de D. Richards era un video que esperaba sea musical y no politico.

  • I miss all of the little things I took for granted with mom. Like you I miss everything about my mom; the way she laughed, smiled, every hello, every good bye, I miss seeing the way she buttered her crackers in the morning. Miss hearing her voice.

  • My mom is still here, but I am disabled and lost my car and job last year in the same week, and mom is an hour away in an assisted living home, but since having several strokes is not able to talk well at all, but her mind is still sharp, we lost my dad in 09 he had alzheimers, and I can say that he did know who I was up until he took his last breathe, which I was there and felt his heart beat for the last time, I miss him and mom I am glad I have been following you on twitter

  • My mom babysat for most every family she knew in town for about 30 cents an hour or less. She did this for years until she went into a nursing home and passed away a few years ago at the age of 93. Sad thing when she died only a couple families that she sat for came to the funeral. She not only babysat, but washed clothes, ironed and cleaned their homes. She told me once its OK! 25 to 30 cents an hour? This was in the 60's to the 90's. She was a true angel. Lived by the 10 commandments. : )

  • I lost my mom some years ago, early I think, because, it was sudden, she went to hospital, a week later she died, she never smoked a day in her life, but had developed lung tumors.

    What i miss is pretty much all that you said you miss , still, having that conversation about everything. Being able to cry on her shoulder when I felt sad and she would always console me like I was a little girl. Nothing was perfect we'd have our disagreements, usually about nothing, but I barely can remember.

  • I miss my Mom. She was my rock. She taught music and art , and was an enlightened woman, way beyond her time. My Grandmother was the apron wearing, man worshiping, stereotypical soap television commercial type; though she did marry a man 26 years her junior & remained married 2 him for 40 yrs. My Mom single handedly raised 6 kids on her own, & then cared for my younger brother who fell off a bluff & became quad. for 22 yrs. within weeks of her moving to Banff to fulfill a dream. I miss her.

  • Coincidentally, your mother and my mother sat next to each other at the Yale Commencement of 1976, when Bobby got his B.A. and I got my MFA from the Drama School. My mother (who is still living) remembers your mother as being gracious and elegant, and she was thrilled to meet her (as well as your father).

  • I miss my mom very much , she has been gone for 21 years.

    She was a singer and had the most beautiful incredible voice !

  • Lost mom over a year ago to Alzheimers. Just being able to talk to her about life. Realizing more how she brought us all together and kept us all in touch, because she wanted to spend time with all her family in one room. Plus, miss my munchkin being able to have those grandma experiences still. Leaves a void when you lose a mom, no matter what. One person who loves you no matter what is gone.  It hard. But now trying to be a good mom to my munchkin.

  • De\r Maria

    This is my first Mothers day without my mom.She died the day after Christmas.When I saw all the Mothers Day cards I realized my loss. I will miss talking with her and just knowing she was there for me.Thank you for your sincere words and thoughtfulness to us who have lost our moms.

  • I miss my mom because she cared about the minutia of my daily life..

  • MS SCHRIVER. I LOST MY MOM 8YRS AGO. I MISS BEING ABLE TO CALL HER,HER LAUGH,AND HER OVER ALL BOSSINESS. TO HONOR HER I WEAR HER EARINGS FOR 3 DAYS. AND THAT HELPS ME FEEL CLOSER TO HER. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE THAT.
