Just remember this...

Someone said this to me, and for whatever reason, it has burned a permanent
place in my heart when I think of my mom's passing on 01/06/07.
Take GOOD care,

Thanks for sharing that quote with us Laurie...I so remember when you
first lost your MOM...it is just still so darn hard, isn't it!
Tomorrow I celebrate the sad annivearsary of my daughter,Cindy's,
passing 10/25/06. She is still with me in my heart and the ache to
talk with her and be part of her life again is with me always. The
pain is different now..not so raw but more like a dull ache that never
leaves but is always at the surface. I lost my 13 1/2 year old yellow
lab to old age in August and I like to think of him and my daughter
taking walks in beautiful leaves...So haard to loose the people/
animals we seem to love the most...Judy, Cindy's Mom

My heartfelt sympathies for you today, Judy. It just never gets easier when
we have to face life without our lost loved one. And yes, I definitely
think your yellow lab grrr-animal is with Cindy now. He's about 3 years old
and Cindy can barely keep up with his jumping and running. So she's smiling
and laughing and enjoying an old friend. :'o)
I wish you well today, Judy... and every day.
P.S. 'Watched a movie last night where one of the characters closes the
eyes of someone else who died. I closed mom's eyes. So, I started sobbing
immediately. I thought of what she looked like that last day, and the pain
I felt was overwhelming. I had to *reach out* and find the picture in my
mind and heart of Mom's bubbling laughter and antics. As soon as that came
to mind, I was much better. I will love her until the end of time.

very sad and depressed and mad. I even was mad at God asking why he
took Franklin. I wish I could think of him receiving Franklin
instead. I wish there were more answers of Heaven. I try to imagine
Franklin there but I have so many questions. Is he still growing? Is
he aware of our lives here without him? Can he still feel my love?
Boy I miss him and I still wonder why my prayers for protection were
not answered. When I think of all my prayers is when I lash out at
God for taking Franklin. I will try to think more of God sending an
angel to gently lead Franklin from this Earth straight to Heaven
above. I will try not to be so jealous that he is not here with me
but it all seems so hard.

This is my first opportunity to reply... was thinking about you this weekend.
Love endures. What is good is what is lasting. Dogs in heaven? Of course!

Hello, Daniel... <<gentle hugs>>... I don't come in here a lot, but it
certainly doesn't mean Mom being gone is any easier. You know, when I have
a half of a second where I think "oh, I gotta call Mom and tell her that", I
wonder if I am the *only one* that does this. I know the answer is no, no
and no!!
Saturday night, I watched a (stupid, stupid) movie. Mom was the furthest
thing from my mind until a character in the movie lost his girlfriend from a
gunshot wound. He closed her eyes when she died... and WHAMMO, there I am
standing over Mom closing her eyes minutes after she died. I went from fine
to sobbing in a split second. The only thing I could do is grab a bracelet
I keep on my nightstand that was Mom's. My rosary beads are on top of it.
When I get into bed at night, I always touch them both. Even if I don't say
any type of prayer, it is my way of "connecting" with both God and Mom for
the evening. I simply lay my fingers on them and close my eyes and smile.
THEY know it!! Or, at least, that's what I believe!!!
I wish you well,

dear judy,
'raw' is such an appropriate word for the newness of the pain of
loss. my own scar tissue has begun to form over the wound. it's
still right beneath the surface but not so obvious for everyone to see
now.
in the past 6 months i've been able to take a few steps forward. i
canceled savannah's cell phone, i got a professional hair-cut (for the
past 3 years i'd been walking into my bathroom with a pair of shears
and hacking it off), i bought a few blouses that weren't black and
last week i gave myself a manicure. absurdly small things to someone
who hasn't dealt with the insanity of a great loss, understandable to
many of us in this group.
so sorry about your lab. i had to have her springer-spaniel, marley,
put to sleep last year. he was also 13 1/2. she used to put make-up
on him, paint his toenails and dress him up in her brother's clothes.
he never had one bad day in his life.
i too like to think of them together. it helps ... a little.
best to you,
donna

Thanks to all of you who posted on Cindy's sad anniversary...I spent
time with my son's family..including the three grandchildren...ages
8,7, and 4. We went to a farm to get Halloween pumpkins and did the
hayride and maze too.I know that Cindy was with us in spirit, I could
feel her. She so loved the fall and the pretty colors and playing with
her nieces/nephew was one of her favorite activities. So, just being
together was a way to honor her memory. I feel I have made progress
this year in my grief process...I now am able to remember the things
she enjoyed and feel her comfort with me than just be heartbroken she
is gone. It doesn't mean I have accepted the fact that my 38 year old
little girl will not grow old, but rather I know she is with me and I
feel she is still going on with us just in another form of life
energy.Thank you Daniel for confirming my belief that our animal
friends will be with us always...they are so much a part of us that I
can't imagine life in the afterlife without them either. (((HUGS))) to
all of you this day..Judy Cindy's Mom

Those WHAMMO's can come from *anywhere*, can't they?
I have Dad's class ring -- most of the time it is just on my keychain, but I
like to wear it when I'm just out shopping or whatever. It's a bond. (2nd
class relic?)
