I Miss My Mother

Two years ago today, my mom lost her battle with cancer.

I was thinking of Mom today, and feeling kind of subdued and quiet. I also thought about other people I’ve known who died.

It’s hard to describe the way I’m feeling. I’m sad, yes - thinking of people I’ve loved who have passed.

But it’s almost a good kind of sadness, if that makes any sense. I’m sad because they aren’t here on earth with me any more. But all of the people I’m thinking about, including Mom, were horribly sick. There was nothing more that could be done for them. If there is an afterlife, I like to think my loved ones are at peace now.

Very sorry for your loss.

Death can be a blessing for those who've endured a lot of pain and suffering. Of course we will still miss those we loved and cared about, but we can at least find solace in knowing that they are suffering no more.

@Rutterman I think that couldn’t be expressed any better way 💜

I am sorry for your loss. Death can be a relief for many families. They no longer have to watch their loved ones suffer! May they rest in peace.
🤗🤗 I know what you mean. And they enriched our lives, and the lives of others. Yes, we miss them, but there are times when dying is not the worst that can happen. ❤️

🤗 We really mourn for our loss not theirs. To know that a loved one is no longer suffering is a relief and blessing.

My mom died of colon cancer in 2004, almost 16 years ago and I still feel that sense of loss. She was more than ready to go, so I think I understand the bittersweet feeling you describe. I am sorry for your loss .

I’m so sorry, Kat. I’m glad she’s no longer in pain, but loss of loved ones is so difficult to bear.

My condolences & I agree with you. For so many people the suffering is cruel for both them & those who love them & passing on is a real release. Sadness & relief makes sense to me.

I really hope there is an afterlife just for reason you described
