blueeye Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I was at the attorney's office yesterday and he was telling me about a close friend of his that died from SCLC back in 1995. He said her first name and I thought that I knew who he was talking about but I didn't want to pry anymore. As I walked out, I thought: I'll ask Mom if the person I am thinking about died of lung cancer. Whew...I'm sure that will happen alot huh? And when I go back to my house, I'm sure I'll pick up the phone to call her. It hurts so bad. It's the second Thursday I have had without her and less than three weeks til a holiday that she loved.

Connie22 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It has been 1 1/2 years for me and I still do it, not as much, but I still do. Oh the pain of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyka69 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I was riding in a car the other day and saw something interesting out the window. I turned to tell my husband about it, then realized just in time that I was with my brother. No more car rides for me and hubby. It happens. And it sucks. Wishing you peace during this difficult time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It does happen all the time. Over the years that my dad has been gone- that has subsided alot and changed to "I wish he could see this, or, I know dad would have loved that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiredmom959 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 My mom passed away on 11/23 ... the other day one of my kids came home from school excited about something ... first thing I thought was "wait until I call mom". I am SO dreading Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondermom Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I do this all the time too. I used to call mom all the time when the kids would do something new or funny. Shortly after she died I did actually pick up the phone to call her once, but stopped before dialing. At the funeral my brother saw a flower arrangement from his high school class. He later told me his first thought was, "I have to show this to mom." It is just such a normal thing to want to share everything with her. She would always have such a big reaction to everything so it was so much fun to tell her. Gosh, how I miss her. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev'sSister Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I did it yesterday and it was like a ton of bricks falling on me. I realized, I think for the first time that I am never going to see my sister again. It hurt so bad....all over again. I think I may have came out of denial just a little bit..I don't want to do that again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbb Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I want to tell Rod something or ask him how to do something then remember, I have to do it myself. I do go ahead and tell him things tho, it makes me feel close to him. My kitchen lights aren't working properly so my chiropracter said he would come and fix them!!! I am truly blessed to have good friends around to help me. Two guys looked at them and didn't know what to do, but Dr. and I know what is wrong, I just can't get to the part that needs replacing. Have a good time at the pub this weekend '8)' Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystleshoe Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 yup happens all the time. I will think of something and want to call mom or ill say to my self "Ill find out what mom thinks". I guess it take a lot of getting used to to not have them here with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsGirl Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 First let me say that I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved mom. I really know how you feel, and I'm just so sorry. I remember those first several months, catching myself when I would think I need to tell her something. It's like a knife in your heart. A "new normal" as people on this board have said before...but not a normal we ever dreamed of. Sending comforting thoughts your way tonight...
