Remembering my Mum

Here's my lovely robin called Arthur after my father in law.

Blossom 5 - I feel so sad to hear your story. Same to everyone else on here missing loved ones. Grief is an unbearable ache knowing you won't see them again and a sadness that you won't get chance to do things again with them big or small. I do believe robins are loved ones coming to see us again and that gives me comfort.

CanadianGran I feel for you.
Some “intervention” of the useful and none-judgmental kind might have helped you all especially in your teen years, but people did like to keep their “problems” shut well away those days and as we well know being comfortably off doesn’t always mean all is good.
💐 peaceful thoughts to you and yours.

NanaPlenty- as you say 'ties that always bind us'

I completely understand how you're feeling and I hope you manage to pass the day peacefully.

I’m so sorry for everyone that’s has lost or both parents and send love to you all. My mum passed away 20 years ago today - when it gets near to the date I always feel a bit ‘odd’ and never really understand until I realise it’s that date again - does anyone else get that sub conscious feeling ? Woke up today feeling really yucky….i guess there is a tie that always binds us - I miss her every day, she was my best friend . ❤️

Labradora so 🥰

I feel for you Ferry23 in the loss of your lovely Mum.
My parents ( Dad no longer with us, Mum very much with us)😃 were/ are, just the best ever.Very little material things but so much love.
Time passes but you don’t forget and hold them in your heart and mind.💐

My beloved late mother died in 2007 and I still love her, remember her, miss her.
A homemaker all her life she had little money of her own although my equally beloved late father provided.
When I left home to live in London she saved up the coupons being given away with her tights to purchase the related prize which was a small camera and sent it to me.
She was that sort of Mum.
I still have the photos I took with that camera.
The Angels are lucky to have her.

My mom died young and I still miss her, fifty years later. My husband also died young, 20 years ago. You always carry special people with you.

My mum was difficult all through my life until she died 12 years ago. Now I miss her every single day. I would give anything just to have her back with me again, difficult or not. I do hope our souls live on and I will see my parents again.

Those of you who have such lovely memories are very lucky. My mother was so vicious it was a great relief when she died. Unfortunately my wonderful father died many years before she did, so I rarely got to see him alone. How I wish I could see him again, but as for my mother…..hopefully not.

Lost my Mum 43 years ago on 18th and still think of her often. There's always things to remind you and you want to tell her.

Primrose58, yes, thank you. We must remember all the good times, and realize the sadder memories had their reasons for being.

My Mum died in February 12 years ago. She was in hospital suffering from COPD and pneumonia. I visited her straight after returning from Scotland where I had been visiting my DD and family. I had taken loads of photos on my tablet of her great grandchildren but didn't have it with me. I promised to visit the next day with the photos to show her.
She didn't get to see them as she died in her sleep that night.
I miss her and wish she could see the lovely people the are becoming.

My parents both died in 2001. Mum was 92. She lived to see my first grandchild and attended the christening. I felt a real sense of the continuity of life, with the baby present at the graveside. How she would have loved all the grandchildren. My children often quote her.

My lovely mum died 6 years ago, aged 86, from the cruel disease of Alzheimers that took her from me years before she actually passed.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her.

❤️

HelterSkelter1 -
Your words resonate with me.

I, too, wish I could turn the clock back.
Take back many of the things I said and be patient - much, much more patient and understanding.
Also I wish I'd said things that I should have but just didn't.

My mum passed away 2 years ago tomorrow just 3 weeks after pancreatic cancer diagnosis. She went downhill so fast that as a family were unable to have those chats with her that you wish you'd had. Just seeing mother's day cards on display still gets me and I sometimes see something in a shop and think I'll buy that for mum, she'll like that, but then remember. Sending love & hugs to everyone who's lost their loved ones

Forestflame I simply cannot imagine the pain of losing your sister and your mother in such a short time.

My Sister and my Mum died within 4 months of each other, nearly 10 years ago. Sending 💐and hugs to everyone on this thread, especially Blossom5 and 4allweknow.

My wonderful Mum died 25 years ago, and my wonderful
Godmother died 40 years ago

Oh kittylester - that’s sad - perhaps she didn’t know how to show her love

But you broke the mould kitty.
Well done woman. x
