Just when I thought everything was fine
They said she was gone, it was her time
The only one I could turn to with anything
No more joy to my life she will bring

Crying until there were no tears to cry
I Wanted so much to just lay down and die
Still fighting each day to get to tomorrow
Under a blanket that's made of sorrow

Someday soon all the pain will end
I miss her so much, my mama, my friend
Tears are cried and leave a stain
When hearts give up and end the pain
              
              
For my mama Loyce 7-19-41 to 7-16-02

I know how this is

I lost mine when I was ten
and now 25 years later, it still hurts

hugs to you

I think everyone feels for you on this.

No matter how you think you are ready for it, you are never ready and some times it can take a while to come.

You are feeling the pain but in a way, may be it is better now that to have it built up.

Take care and you will always find friends here.

It never stops hurting, does it? I am sorry about your mom, itmust have been really hard to lose her at such a young age. My mama was the only one I had, my "father" is a pedifile. So loosing her made it that much harder.

this touches me.  I lost my own mother at the age of eighteen months and my father was both parents to us.  Having not really known her I find it amazing how still it leaves an ache.  Very well done.

Some things we never recover from, just incorporate the grief into a somewhat drained and diminished existence. A fine tribute to your mother.

Thank you Dave & Gentle Spirit
A person can never have enough friends. My mama loved poetry, (especially mine) a little prejudice I know, but she always enjoyed reading it anyway.

oh sweet child, you have come to the right place to heal, but wounds like that leave scars, and when you just notice the scar and remember a good memory, and know she is always with you then the scars just become a place where one touched you, i never had a mom, she ran around, then took off when i was 11, left me with alcoholic womanizing abusive dad. just dont keep it inside, biggest mistake i made, it haunts you forever, i am just learning to get it out, little at a time, and learning forgiveness, keep love and forgiveness in your heart, and the pain wont take over,but you got to grieve, get angry, get sad, get it all out,  

sorry for rambling on~ just write it all out and there are so many good hearted angels here when ever you need one

Sending words of encouragement.The pain never really goes away, but as the others say,it helps to talk or write about it. There are many here who care, best marty
