sorry to hear about your mom .... im sure lots of people say this ... but at least she wasnt in pain .... or suffering .. to a certain extent. :) hope all goes well .
Oh wow. God, I'm so so so so sorry. I never wanted anything of the sort to ever happen to you and I'm absolutely in grief for you that it has, she will always be with you, and [although I don't know if you are or are not religious] I'm sure she has the final right of way to a better place an is content in the glorious kingdom itself. I'm am sorry once again.
Take your time to grieve and come to terms with this - no one will think any less of you. As for the poem, I'm sure your mum is very proud of you and smiling down on you at how well you did it. Try not to dwell on the fact that she's gone - because she isn't. All the memories you have of her are still inside of you - therefore she isn't gone. If you always remember her, she won't ever be 'gone'; her spirit lives on.
Be happy - for her if no one else. She wouldn't want you to get stuck in a pit of sadness. She is in a better place and now, nothing can hurt her.
She'll always be with you. Whenever you feel lonely you should think of her and smile because she loved you and that connection is stronger than anything. My grandpa died a while ago and I wasn't even allowed to the wake or funeral. I was so pissed. I hope that things get better for you soon. *sends a thousand cyber hugs*
*hugs* marco I'm so sorry i actually don't know what to say. I'm really bad at things like that.... But I hope you and your sister are okay and I'm sure that your mum is smiling down at you though.
Death is in the air everywhere. Just recently one of my teacher's mom died of cancer, and now your mom as well. I'm not quiet sure how to handle situations like these, but I can assure you that I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that everything will work out in the end, and that you take your time grieving. This is so sad..
Jesus man that is rough but you know alot of cultures tend to let the family dress up the body for the wake such things are and to most countries where part of the way for the family to come to turns with the death such a thing may happen with all the stuff you have to do after her death. Don't fight any pain if it comes while going through the stuff it is best to let the emotions out.
