Many posters in here have lost a parent...so I was wondering if I am in the right thread..

Yesterday I found out my Aunt passed away. I'm still in somewhat denial..it hasn't all sank in yet..but I'm still fairly upset. I loved her very much..and she was the only person in my family I had much in common with. We were a lot alike, and I loved that I fit with someone, as it seemed I didn't fit much with the rest of the family, and was that "different" one, very much the opposite from the others.

Anyway..appologies if this thread is solely for parents..


Hey Delilah....

You are in the right place. I'm sorry you have reason to be here, if you know what I mean. If you want to tell us about yoru aunt sometime, we'd love to read about her.... :yh_hugs

I am sorry about your loss. I think it hits a daughter in the worst way when losing their mother. I know how you feel. I miss mine so much and not picking up that phone every day to call her is the hardest. Not being able to seek that motherly advice and the laughter we shared tears me up. Christmas was the worst.

My mother was in remission from breast cancer but the radiation treatments caused Myleodysplasia, an incurable blood disease, also known as pre-Leukemia.

I was the one that knew she was dying and cared. I begged my step dad to go to with to her dr. appt. or I would. He said he would but when I asked mom she said he didnt go because he doesn't care. Her exact words. My brother continued to dump his kids on her so he and wife go go out and get drunk at the bars. They even wanted her to clean their house 2 weeks before she died. I told mom that she either tells them no or I will call them. I sent her $200 floral arrangement 1 week before she died. She asked why and I said because I can, wanted to and love her. I did right by her and miss her everyday.

We lost our best friends our self extentions. A new chapter of our lives open but where to begin............ Many hugs to you. WE have to be strong and we are.

I lost my mom too about six years ago, and we used to talk on the phone everyday. I had two brothers, and we don't talk anymore. It seems that when death occurs, it brings the worst out in families. I am and have been at the point that they can go screw themselves. I know I did more for mom than those two a$$holes did. She would never hesitate to call me and hubby for something, before she called them. I was the only one with her when she died. The nursing home could not get a hold of one of them, because he was online. Screw them. I have no guilt feelings here.

You're lucky. No one called me to inform me she was hospitalized the day before she died. I could have been there to talk and see her but they stold that from me.

They called me 5 hours after she died. It was to hurt me and I will never forgive them for it. She relied on me for making out her diet and going to specialists.

Step-dad was mad we talked her into chemo treatments.

Im very bitter.

Red,I do find that this time of year we find that our greif starts to surface again.We remember who shared the Christmas meal and who we celebrated new year with.It is true that the pain is not so intense after a while,and of course it is not that long since you lost your dear mum. We carry the love of our lost families and friends in our hearts for the rest of our life,this is a good thing.

I hope you are feeling a bit better today,I do understand just what you are going through.

This is so true for many of us! Our best friends...extensions of ourselves, how well said, that.

CL, if you know you did right by your mom then you can lay your head down at night with some sort of peace. Remember I told you that mothers know what's in your heart. And yes, we are strong, partly because our mothers were.

I have noticed that too Moonpie, that death brings out the worst...and the best in families. Maybe we can all rest our head knowing we did right by our mothers.

Thank you, Mia. Christmas is a tough one. It just seems to reinforce that things will never be the same, life will never be as we once knew it. But it can be made to be ours again, if different, but ours just the same. :)

Jimbo, I hope you know how sorry I am that you are feeling so badly.

Especially in light of Suzy's recent loss. It does not seem fair to any of you guys. I'm glad you posted here.

And... may I say this? Happy Birthday Casey!!

Your Red FRIEND.
