"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God?"
~Micah 6:8~
My Mom died.
How does one get through a time like this? Every single day I think about her and miss her. My husband says something and I think, I will have to tell Mom that. I read a book review and decide to order a copy for my Mom. All day long I am thinking of her.
Hardest of all is remembering her in the hospital bed telling us she can't believe she is dying, telling us she doesn't want to leave her kids because she loves them so.
Sometimes she would cry out for her own mama who was able to be at her bedside. I said to Grandma, "See Gramma, you are never too old to need your Mama."
And I need my Mama now, but she isn't here.
I feel like an orphan.
I feel jipped.
And no matter what the day holds there is sadness in the midst of it.
Sure I am praying and my friends are praying. But grief is a journey, so I am told. There is no way to rush through it and no way around it.
All I really know is my Mom died.
And I miss her so very much.
I was cruising random blogs on the lapbooking ring and read about your mother. I am so sorry for your loss! I have lost my mother to Alzheimers - she is still alive but essentially in a non-communicative and vegitative state. My father died of heart problems last August.
You are just never ready to lose a parent! It as if a piece of the foundation of the earth was removed from under your feet. You will always miss her, always wish you could talk to her, and always regret that she will miss some moments with your kids.
I pray that God comforts you and gives you peace. Like I said, you will always miss her, but it won't always hurt as bad as it does now. She is waiting for you in eternity. =)
When my Mom died eight years ago, I couldn't imagine ever feeling safe or happy again. But, time does heal the woundn and while I forever miss her, I am able to look back now on her memory and feel happiness and joy. Just let yourself grieve and trust that God is there for you.

Psalm 37:23-24 (New King James Version)
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the LORD upholds him with His hand
