    Wittrockj, I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through. I do know how you feel. My dad passed when I was 21, and then my mom passed from cc in 2009, I was 34. I miss my parents every day. I used to hate it after my dad died people would say, “time heals”, but I have come to realize that they are correct. It really is only time that will make you feel a little more at peace. You will still miss your mom, but you will be able to think about the good times, and not just the pain. Don’t question how you are feeling, just go with your emotions, and know that there will come a time when you will feel better.
    Please know that we are here for you.

    ANP, I am so very sorry for your loss. My mom passed away September 2009. She was my best friend. It is hard to lose a parent and a dear friend :(. I understand EXACTLY what you mean about it being difficult to get the images out of your head. I replayed her last few days over and over in my head for a while. Please know that it does get better. Those memories are almost completely gone, I can now think of so many good times we shared. Sure, I miss her every day, but the pain does get better.

    Please know we are here for you.

    Ashley,

    Your post really touched me. I was in your shoes September 13, 2009. My my, my best friend, left us. It is so hard to explain the emotions. I can remember feeling such comfort along with intense sadness. I felt guilt feeling that way. I didn’t want to tell anyone that I in some way felt comfort with the fact that Mom was gone. In my head it sounded awful. Unless someone has been through what we have gone through, I don’t think that they can understand. I missed and still miss her more than I ever thought possible, but I am so glad that she isn’t having to suffer anymore. No more tests, no more waiting, no more roller coaster ride. Please know that we are here for you. This is a difficult journey, and it does help to go through it with others who have been in your shoes. I am so sorry :(

    Hi Suzanne, I live in Mooresville, Indiana. We are neighbors. My mom was diagnosed in October 2006. She went to IU. We had a great experience. Her surgeon was Dr. Nakeeb. Her oncologist was Dr. Romnee Clark. Unfortunately, Mom passed away in September 2008. But, please don’t let that discourage you. I remember how hard it was for me when Mom was fighting, and I would hear the stories of others who passed. There are MANY survivors on the board! I know that you are on an emotional roller coaster right now. This is a touch journey. I have two small children (7 and 1), so I know the journey takes a whole new road when you have little people who love their grandparents. Please feel free to e mail me Aleaalexander@yahoo.com.

    Jacque,

    Your post really touched me. I could have written the same thing when hospice was coming to visit my mom. My mom passed away September 2009. This is the most difficult journey that anyone can ever imagine. Please know that we are here for you. There are no words to describe what you are feeling right now, but please know that we understand.

    Love, Amy

    Dear DD,

    I also want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. My mom died Septwmber 2009. She was my best friend also. She and I had always lived together. I lived with her, and after I got married she she sold her house and moved in with us. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her or miss her, but I can also remember the fun times. Like Joyce said, try and surround yourself by people who loved your mom and who want to talk about her. I am very close to two of Mom’s best friends, and it is so nice to spend time with them, because they loved her like I did.

    I first saw the news on facebook, and I must admit that I was completely shocked. I don’t know why I was so shocked, but I was. Of course, it was obvious that Kris has been struggling a lot lately, but I just felt that she was gonna beat this. My heart is broken for her family. Kris and I were the same age, and I thought that was part of our connection, but after reading what everyone has to say about her, it is obvious we all had that connection with her because she was such a kind soul.

    Kim, I am so sorry :-((. I remember when I disconnected Mom’s cell phone and her voice was gone, I was so sad! That was the point that it seemed so final. I am so sorry :-((.
    Lainy, If I were you, I would cherish your message forever and ever!!!
    Love, Amy

    Gavin, The one year mark is hard, isn’t it? I am so sorry. I feel for your mom also. I know that when my dad passed away, it was hard for my mom because my brothers didn’t acknowledge him much after he was gone. I know that everyone grieves in their own way, but it is hard.

    Katie, Mom passed away in September 2009, and now that we are past that one year mark it has been harder for me. I miss Mom’s voice, and the thought of never hearing it again breaks my heart.

    I am a believer, and know that I will see my parents again someday in heaven, and I know that should help me deal with the grief, but to be 100% honest, it doesn’t help me too much on a day to day basis. Does that sound selfish?

    So glad to have everyone here to talk to….
