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.

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 .
