mamasbabygirl Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I was on my way into work, popped in an Indigo Girls CD and lost it. I called my boss, told him I'm not coming in. I came home, put on one of mom's outfits and am listening, singing, crying to my Girls' songs. For those of you have never listened, check them out. For me and my mama-Virginia Woolf For me and any other widow/ers-Ghost For my favorite bartender here, Beth, Randy, Ann-Love of the Common People For me-The Girl with the Weight of the World in Her Hands I'm a mess.

Linda661 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 ((((Lori)))) I wish there was more I could do than say "I know and I'm sorry." Glad you could take work off and let it roll. As much as it hurts, I think crying really helps. Gentle hugs, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mskim Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Lori, I am with you in your agony, I weep with you and I pray for all of us. It is wrong to be motherless daughters so soon in life. The dark tunnel seems endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdjenkins Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Lori, I'm so sorry you are in so much pain, and I understand. I'm glad you took the day to grieve. I believe crying helps the heart heal. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy0519 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Its just hard as hell! Wish I had "magic words" that could take it all away for you...for myself.. and for all those who have lost loved ones to this beast. Words just seem so hollow...its really ok to be a mess (and perhaps part of the grieving process) - just know that you are not alone, there are many of us here who are walking a very similar path. Hoping that the days to come pass more gently for you. (((LORI)) Wishing you peace, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (((Lori))), I hope you are feeling better today , but sometimes we just have to let it all out. God Bless. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelepal Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ((Lori)) I'm so sorry your in so much pain! You need to give yourself a chance it's soooooo new. You take care of yourself and if you can't go into work then STAY HOME. Just remember people who haven't lost someone yet can't understand the pain. Just remember you always have us the people who totally understand.. LOve Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Lori, It just plain sucks doesn't it??? Don't know if I can post that word here... but I just did!! So glad you were able to take the day and just spend it thinking about your Mom. We all need days like that... Dad has been gone for almost 2 years and I still have days like that.... only now they come farther apart. Know I am thinking of you... Love, Sharon PS. I have a shirt of his I keep in my closet and at times it is the only thing that makes me feel extra close to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yeah, it sucks and yeah, I don't think Rick has limited our use of that word Sharyn. My brother and SF are moving out this weekend and he does not want to take anything that reminds him of her-it's so weird to me bc I want her to be all around me, you know? I have not allowed anyone to disturb her room. Other than the bed being gone, it is exactly the same. It is supposed to be our study and we'll make it that one of these days, but not yet. I snuggle her pillows, wore her pj's yesterday, anything to keep her close to me. My mom was such a cool person. I just miss her and always will. Thanks for being here guys...I know yu all understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendew Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 You know, Lori. I had an argument with my husband today because he was taking my father's lawn mower to be repaired, and he didn't take it to the place my Daddy always took it to. How dumb is that? I literally argued with him and told him that I made all the decisions regarding my father's stuff. I know it's dumb, but I'm so protective over his stuff right now. I made Daddy a promise to take care of things, and by gosh, I'm going to do it. I guess it's all a part of the grieving process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Oh Lori, I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do for you. You and your mom were such best friends. Not only did you lose your mom, but you lost your best friend too. I pray that God gives you peace during this rough time. Blessings, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
