My mom just died

She died of cancer and i miss her so darn much. I'm 18 and i have a 5 year old brother and a 2 year old brother.

She died of lung cancer and my dad is changing and all and i'm so sad.

CEJ, Boomer prayers reach heaven every day and I'm sure many of us will be praying for love, peace and joy to return to you and your family.

So very sorry to learn of your loss CEJ. It's a sad time for your family and a huge adjustment as well. As Smile said, I too will certainly pray for love, peace and joy to return to your entire family.

CJ, It's so difficult to know what to say...my heart aches with you, and I add my voice to the loving, caring prayers that we are all lifting to God for you. It's a tough journey, but you'll make it through...and we're all here to help.

CEJ, my heartfelt prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Although you may feel this is too hard to do, you can do it. Cling to those whom you love and reach out to them.

Prayers, Francine

CEJ your mother is now your own personal Angel watching over all of you from heaven. It is so hard to have such a tragedy in your life when you are so young. You said your dad is changing, changing how? Remember dear he is suffering too and even though he is the father he is scared and feeling alone. Do your best to comfort him and your brothers, they are males and do not take tragedy well. We are women, yes you too are a woman and we are the nurturers. We will pray for you and your family and know that we are here for you. Use my email if you need to talk or if you need advice of any kind. We ladies here are moms and grandmothers and are here to listen and/or advise. God loves you, speak to him often and he will listen...

CEJ, I'm so sorry for your loss. Everyone here has given heartfelt advice. I'd like to add that when you're sad, remember how much your mother loved you, and that she would want you to have a wonderful and happy life even though she's gone.

CEJ, thank you for coming here and sharing. May you find comfort in knowing you can come to us any time you feel the need to talk with your mom. I know no one can take the place of Mom (I've lost mine too) but you have many virtual mothers here who are more than willing to listen, care, love, pray for, and give you motherly advice when you need it. Feel free to email me privately. I'm happy to help.

What are you filling your days with, if you don't mind me asking...

Dear CEJ:
I'm sorry for your loss! Please know that I will be praying for you and your family? I'll also add you and yours to my prayer group's list.

Do you believe in God? I pray you find comfort knowing that in our difficult times he is carrying us IN HIS ARMS.

If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to ask, just PM me.

I noticed you're a singer too. Singing helps me get through difficult times. You like to write... this is a good time to put pen to paper.


Also, focusing in helping others around me, helps me put things in perspective and forget my own difficulties.

Do you have any relatives nearby that can help?

I know this is a very challenging time in your life. I wish I could give you a hug. Please know that you can count on us!

Oh honey, I'm so sorry. Bless your heart. We will all be praying for you and your family.

CEJ,

You're so young to lose your mother. I would imagine it makes you feel vulnerable and scared and maybe angry, and sad, and guilty for what you might have said and done differently. There's a jumble of emotions that go with loss. And you can feel all of them at the same time, or not at all. They can come in waves. They can attack you when you are feeling down.... One thing to remember is that there is no one right way to grieve. There are books you can read that will help you understand what other people have felt.

What I choose to do, whenever any really awful thing happens to me, is to use it as an opportunity to become the best person I can be, to grow into all I am capable of, even when I don't know what that is. By doing so, as your momma watches over you, she will be proud, so proud of you.


Feel free to send me a private message or contact me through my website. If you need a hand to hold. I am here.

Blessings, dear one. My love is with you.

I sent CEJ a private message and asked her to come back and let us know how she is doing. Hopefully she will do so.
