Title: Going to be a hard month
Post by: Gail08 on July 02, 2014, 03:37:23 PM
July is going to be a VERY hard month to get through.  It is my sister's birth month and I don't have my mother this year to give me support to get through the month.  I don't know how I am going to make it through the month alone.  It was hard enough when I did have my mother's support but now without her it is going to be next to impossible to make it through.  To be honest, I am really scared about facing the month alone.  It just hurts so much and sometimes the hurt is almost more than I can stand. I really don't know if I can do this.

Gail,

I'm sorry things are so hard for you right now.  This is just my thinking, try to think of the things they would have said to you in this situation.  Your sister and your mother live on in you through the ways they impacted your life.  Try to draw strength and comfort from this. 

My mother died two years ago this month.  I miss her too.  Even though she was ill, it still comforted me to know she was still here after my husband died.  But I do know the influence of their lives on mine.  That helps me.

Peace and Healing,
