12 years

Twelve years ago today my Mom died. I still miss her. A lot.

I know people who think I should have "gotten over it" or "moved on" by now.

And for the most part I have moved on. But I still miss her. Especially on this day.

And on her birthday. And Mother's Day. And Christmas, which she loved so much.

I don't think that ache will ever go away. She was my Mom, after all, and she's not here. And I wish she was.

Today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

Also a very sad day.

And that's how I have been feeling today.

Sad.

I will feel better tomorrow.




Miss you Mom.

I don't believe you ever truly get over it - maybe move on but not over. It will be 8 years my dad died and I miss him just as much as the day he died. Hugs.

Of course you still miss her. That's perfectly okay. Don't feel guilty for that.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you today. And I thank you for sharing that I'm not the only one guilty of DWC.

I don’t believe you ever truly forget or get over it but moving forward and remembering the good times is what will ease the pain.

It is so very hard to lose ones parents. We light candles also for those we miss and pray for. We are so blessed to have Alyzabeth now, but we still mourn the losses of the past. Warm thoughts to you with sunny days ahead.
