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.
