At times we would have pan cakes or waffles, for breakfeast and Mom and I would be talking about life and all kinds of things enjoying each other company just sitting there on dinning room table, it was nice.

Mom liked sports too football, hockey, Mom's favorite was watching Golf on TV, it was good to see that, Mom would get all excited when Mom's player had a good shot.

and then there's the time Mom spent with the family, great-grand kids, grand kids, it was such good times laughing and just enjoying life and that Mom was there to enjoy it too.

My Mom made me  happy in my life, everything that I did was for and around my mother, she was my world,,,

I  remmeber Mom teaching me how to cook for myself, now that was a task, but Mom was very patient with me and finally I could cook something, that process was very remmerable, that was a fun day,,,,,,,

Hello

Sadson, I remember my mum making waffles too – she always made a special sweet white sauce that I have never been able to duplicate.

I know the loss of her presence is very hard and nothing can fill that void. But it is good to know you made such good memories together.

Another member, Lilbear started the thread Will I ever really get my mojo back? after the death of her mother, to whom she was very close as well.

As Shirleys baby said, she feels so lost. Have you been able to find a way to live in your sadness with your family and friends?

Hi Katherine, thanks for the email.  It has been very difficult to find my way, as I was so close to Mom, as Mom was getting older I was more taken care of her, (I was still living at home) and then Mom had some heart trouble which she was on medication, then when she was diagnosed with colon cancer I was kinda not letting her out of my sight so to speak until she passed. 

I try to talk to my family,  but they have family of their own so I try to burden too much, the one person I talked to was Mom she was my world, I miss her so much,,,,, 

Hello
So good to hear from you Nikki99. You have been through so many ‘firsts’ without your Mom in the last year – and now the very important anniversary of your loss. Have you thought about how you will spend the 25^th?

It seems to me that by making, what may not have been an easy decision to post, you are helping, just as others on the site have helped you. You can understand how great the pain and sadness are – and I think that is worth much more than advice. 

Sadson and Nikki99, Lilbear started a thread back in August last year Will I ever really get my mojo back?  It’s a long thread, but I thought you might find it helpful.

Take care
Katherine
