Between one heartbeat and the next. As much as we appreciated her passing was painless (she had an undiagnosed brain aneurysm), there is never a "good" time to lose the first person who taught me to love, to sing, to play and to be happy. So I am glad you were able to write down your feelings and now have, with the passage of time, more understanding of the unique place your mother held in your life.

The poem is a hard, wrenching thing that came out of you, Claire, at a hard, wrenching time, and I honor you for writing it. I hope you are closer to understanding how much love existed between you.Michelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14097093248872091000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966579348658244182.post-89809449968124685412014-05-12T01:05:29.955+02:002014-05-12T01:05:29.955+02:00Hi Claire -I know Mother's Day must be painful...Hi Claire -I know Mother's Day must be painful for you. I am sorry you lost your mother when you were so young. I lost my mother when we were both old and it was difficult. Mother's Day is painful for me too.baymoondesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176264557341209150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966579348658244182.post-87108585992680382312014-05-11T23:56:16.662+02:002014-05-11T23:56:16.662+02:00Hey Claire. We already wrote once about the cats.
...Hey Claire. We already wrote once about the cats.<br />It's crazy. I just read your lines and found me in it. My mother died in 2002 too. Also cancer, also after a long and hard journey. Luckily not on mother's day but on Halloween. It fits more, I think...it was a really dark day.<br />I am feeling the same things you are writing. I never got to know her as a person, as a woman, I do not even know very much about she got to know my father (he does not speak about earlier times), about the marriage.... She was only my mum (from a child's view), and then she was my sick mum for many years.<br />I miss her too ... and therefore don't like mother's day very much because it makes me sad.<br />Big hug.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344805917929173546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966579348658244182.post-6613974492210322062014-05-11T22:20:29.033+02:002014-05-11T22:20:29.033+02:00(((hugs))) thanks for sharing this and for the poe...(((hugs))) thanks for sharing this and for the poem. I wish life wasn't that cruel, I wish you could have had more time with your mum... I am struggling with mother's day as well. yet my mother is still alive. I've got such a difficult relationship with her and she never really was a "mother" to me, as such. I was trying to forgive her, then trying to keep things on a superficial level, I also tried to cut the contact. Nothing seems to work. I just can't forget the pain she and her family have caused me. I know this might be hard to understand, especially when you've lost your mother too early. what I really want to say is: keep the memories in your heart and be thankful for the fact that you had a real "mother".... I'm thinking of you and I'm sending you a big hug....<br />mickymunchkinMickymunchkin's little spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068439042812497574noreply@blogger.com
