This is a wonderful place to be. It's a warm, heartfelt environment.

I am happy to share and want to help others, who truly care for each other.

My latest blog was about my mom, because she passed away, and I have missed her so much. But now the time has come where I must go on and live each day, as she would have been proud of me---not to mourn, but to live with joy, to help others, to smile, and to know that she is in Heaven and all of her suffering is finally over.

But the heart still longs for the person...Letting go is a challenge, but today I found myself feeling better---the grief wasn't there. Mom is finally at peace.

When we love someone, it stays deep in the heart. And that's okay. I'm learning each day to let go of the grief. I know I'm not alone. We all lose someone we love in our lives, that's just the way life is. We have to go on...

It isn't easy...I think of Momma 24/7, but I know she's happy, and sure, it's only been a month since she's been gone, but my love for her is as strong as ever.

Treasure that person...my friends, whoever they are. Because they will live forever in your heart.

It's part of God's plan that yes indeed we have to go on after we lose a loved one. I have lived through my fathers passing and it was not easy. The memories that you have of that person live inside you forever they never really die. I have many good memories of laughter with my Dad, and I am so grateful I have them. I believe the key in life, with people you love, is to make memories, to love while you can, appreciate your loved ones, overlook negative traits and search for the good in them always.

Thank you so much for writing...Oh yes, how the memories stay within our hearts. I loved my Daddy, too, so much when he passed away...He was my best friend. Love goes on and that is good. Each one of us, who has loved and lost will always treasure what we had. That is a true blessing of life...because nothing will ever take it away...It will always stay deep within us. That I know...Without love, what would the world be like...God bless you, my friend.

The loss of a person who inspired, loved, and helped us to become the person we are today with out conditions, is the hardest loss to overcome. My hero, my champion of life passed away in March, and I still am in that dark place, although the light is shinning through ever so gently, I know she is out of pain, I miss her. I held her hand, and was there till the end, I am just glad that she is out of pain and suffering. That said, it does not always make it easy for the ones left behind. I have taken comfort after reading your blog, that I am not alone in this empty feeling of loss.

I am glad that I found this blog site, and you, to help me over come the things, that sometimes, are too heavy to carry alone. Loss being one of them.

Thank you, and may your angels be near to you always.

Your comment truly touched my heart. You sound a lot like me, feeling the pain of loss, yet the heartfelt void of missing the one you loved. A deep, abiding love is the hardest to bear when the one has passed away, but my dear friend, each day you will feel the grip of loss easing, as I have on some days. (Those are my good days). And I think, too, there are so many people who have loved ones who have passed away and they have to cope too---so know that we are not alone. I know, it doesn't make it easier, because when the tears come, we miss our sweet one, but that's okay. There is nothing wrong with tears. That's just loving coming from our hearts. We must then, think of the smiles that one brought us and try to go from there. Because our loved one would want the best for us.
We were blessed, because we loved. And no one can take that from us. I hope to hear from you again, my special, dear friend. Know that you are not alone and that you can treasure your love for the one you loved forever.

And may your angels be near you always...God bless you...

What a precious friend you are, Lori! Yes, most of the time, when I grieve mom's passing, I feel so broken, I wonder when (and if!!!) I will ever be myself again. Losing her has been the hardest in my life..Even though I tell myself (logically) that there are so many other things in the world that are worse...
But it's the heart that goes on...Again, I say thank you...
