AnneBurris Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 To all who have sent sympathy cards to myself or my family - THANK YOU. I lost my mother on December 13th and we received many cards. My father was so amazed at the kindness - he hasn't been to the board so he couldn't understand how I knew so many people, he was touched as was I by your kindness. It's been over a month now that my mother has passed away. As I have stated before, she and I were very close, I saw her every day. I have been very surprised at how well I have handled her passing. I almost feel guilty for not having more grief. I think I actually did most of my grieving while she was still alive. I cried nearly every day for the 7 months that she lived since her diagnosis. So, I have a hard time understanding why now I seem to have such peace. It's strange, I guess everyone is different. The time that I do cry is when I go to her grave. I think it's because I know I'm standing 6 feet close to her body, but yet she isn't actually "there". So close but yet so far. I love my mom, and I do miss her. Life is still good and I know that she would want me to be happy. God has really blessed me with His peace. I don't think I would be at peace if I didn't feel secure about obtaining eternal life. If I thought that this time on earth was the only time to be with loved ones I probably would be much more grief stricken right now. Thank you again for your kind cards. May God bless you.

kimblanchard Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Anne I have been thinking of you a lot lately and wondering how you were doing. I am so happy to hear you are doing well. I understand how you are feeling, when my Mom passed away several years ago I felt a tremendous peace. I did everything I possibly could for her when she was alive, saw her every day, talked to her on the phone several times a day, took her to her doctors appointments, had her over for dinner all the time so when she died I had no regreats at all. I think that is why you are feeling such peace, you were a wonderful caring daughter and did everything for your mom during her time on this earth Please keep in touch with us on the boards. You have a lot to offer to others who have family members with this disease or who are going though it themselves. Bess B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
