As many of you know my mom passed away one week ago in her sleep.
I just wanted everyone that shown support to me to know that im still alive. Its getting better every day and I know my mom is still with me. I went back to work today and everyone was really supportive and nice. Iv decided that I will take the position on my moms unit (labor and delivery). I know how excited she was to have me on that unit. It will be hard but i know my mom will be looking down on me and be proud. I miss her very much and everything is still so hard and sad. But I told my mom at her funeral on saturday that I would be ok, because of everything she had taught me, shown me, and all the love.
Its still not fair...but life isnt fair. It hurts alot to only to have had her for 21 years, but im glad that I got to have her at all, and I would do it all over agian.
I love you mom.


Thanks to everyone and hopefully i will be emotionally healthy enough to start posting on here again.
Sarah

    Sarah,

    I can honestly say i have an idea of what you're experiencing because I too lost my mom when I was 21 years old, that was 15 years ago and I still miss her dearly. While I am able to go on with my life as I know she would want, there are some difficult days.

    I keep her spirit alive through my memories and constant sharing of stories. It will be tough but I know you will be alright.

    Lots of hugs and love. I got to spend to 23 wonderful (mostly:wink:) with my mother, and have only spent 8 without her. My mother also died very suddenly (from a pulminary edima (spelling?)). There isn't anything I can say that will make the pain go away, but I can promise it starts to hurt less. Every day seems like a lifetime at first. I still have bad days (when I hear about others going through the same pain is one example), but it isn't every day anymore. Most important is to talk about what you're feeling, talk about your mom, and remember the good times.

    I am available anytime you need to talk. My older sister is also on here, and I know she would be willing to talk if you need it, also.

    Hang in there. We are all here for you when you need it!
