Remembering Mom, Remembering 28-Dec-09 Mon

Death of a loved one is synonymous with devastation. The pain of grief and bereavement seems to deepen as the day passes by.

It cripples inside as if part of me has died inside too. Every day this feeling doesn’t seem to get any better.

It’s mom’s first death anniversary and yet everything seems unreal still as if I cannot totally digest the fact that she is gone, and for a year now.

Somehow, I survived a year but it doesn’t make anything any better. This is painful and cannot be described in words because this very day reminded me of the day that I will never forget for the rest of my life.

I wished I understood the significance of saying “I Love You” and to the matter of fact, saying that personally to my beloved mom. Nothing in life is more important than family – giving the time one deserved, saying things that you want to say because these things just cannot be put off till “some other time.”

Mom, I miss you! I love you!

Till my last breath, you will always be in my heart.

  2. She will always be in our heart, and forever. We were and still part of her. Yes, I also felt her presence all these while. I tend to look into the rear view mirror when driving alone. Instinct has it that I check the seat behind. Don know why.

  3. We each Grief in our own little ways.

    and there's always the upwards turn and reconstruction to look forward to. the depression, reflection and loneliness will run their course... eventually.

    goodbye 2010, you were sadly great. you have been harsh to me, and i to others.

  5. Angel, the song has it that "I can't forget the smiles I saw them" - the smile on our parents face, how true!

    I will always remember one very rainy morning whereby mom has to shelter both Linda and KL to school while carrying me and the school bag. And she still has that smile on her face. That's her!
