Despite the best of intentions, I just haven't been able to blog lately. Work, stress, writer's block, I don't know, but I'll get back to it soon I promise. But right now, I'm hurting y'all.
My Mother passed away on Sunday.
I've been enveloped by an overwhelming sadness and grief that comes at me in waves. I just can't shake it. I'll tell you my story one of these days, after which you'll understand why I'm going to miss this saintly woman so much. And why I really haven't quite figured out how I'm going to reasonably move on without her presence in our lives.
I am now left without both parents and grandparents on this earth, and find myself at 40 years old rapidly becoming one of the elders in my family. I pray to God that I'm up to it when my time comes.
Mama, I love you, I miss you, and I cherish every day I had with you. Thank you for giving birth to me. Thank you for everything you instilled in me, and for the love, care, and sacrifice you made for all of us. Thank you for being my Mama.
May you rest in eternal peace and bask in the glory of the presence of the Lord.
You deserve it.

Dead is something we do not understand, we have many questions and unfortunately there are not many answers.
Our foremothers and forefathers taught us well. This is your moment and all the great lessons taught to you will now have a place in the world.
Grieve for your Mother, pull yourself together (as you were taught)…. You have much to live for personally, professionally and your virtual community family… your little spot place here is cute.

Hi there....
I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss.
I am a motherless daughter.
I can not claim to understand your hurt...everyone is different.
Could I say that the pain goes away? It would not be true...when we will ever stop mourning our mothers or fathers, really? The loss is never accepted really but we go on....we dare to live the life that we KNEW would make them smile.
We allow each day to be like a tribute to the loved ones who have gone on...
We try to go on and show God that we believe He knows what to do with us and we are willing to step onward and see what He has in store...
May you be comforted by our Lord in this time...and may He give you joy of His presence even as the tears flow from your grieving...
When you feel like the day is just too dark....whisper up to Heaven "I love you back".
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!

I can relate, it's been a year since I lost my mama, and I still have the up and down moments. Take your time to heal and to grieve, everyone understands. I will pray that God lifts you up and helps you through each day. I will pray that you find strength you didn't know you had, and I will pray that you'll find peace...
DP...I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers.
I'm very sorry
Sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you.
DP,
The pain of your loss doesn't ever go totally away, my friend. The first year will have heart wrenching moments on special days like birthdays or the holidays or anytime you wish you could tell her about your day.
Six years after the loss of my Dad, I still catch myself missing him so badly that I can hardly breathe on occasion.
BUT...what DOES happen with time, is that additionally there are moments....days....weeks....months where the only thoughts I have about him are full of the joy of having known him.
I wish you all good speed into that time when the majority of your thoughts about her are full of love and happy memories and have only the tiniest bit of pain added. It WILL happen, DP...even if it doesn't feel that way right now.
Big big hugs from the Ozark Hippie Clan.
