I was searching for a photo of that pillowcase and came across your blog. What a treasure!

Thank you for your cyberhugs! I'm sending you my love and support. It's so difficult, yet I know your moms would be proud of you, the same way I think my mom would be proud of me. And, they loved you. Stay strong. Christina Heiddi, Cynthia and Maria, your comments mean the world to me. Thank you for your cyberhugs! I’m sending you my love and support.

As she lay dying I could not understand the identity crisis I would suffer after she died. I cover this in detail on my blog. I never understood how much my identity was entwined with hers and how much I defined myself by being her daughter. I still miss my mother every single day and with Mother's Day around the corner this year it will be just as difficult as last year. I hope you continue to heal as I am trying to do, but I have been told that losing your mother is a wound that never completely heals. But, I know that she loved me and she is in a better place and that I will see her again one day. That sustains me for now. ((HUGS)).

While I didn't lose my mother as a teen ( I was 24 and still green) I was very much impacted by her passing. I didn't want her to leave and asked her how I would live without her. It was the five minutes I had alone with her while she was sick. She told me that I just had to. And though I didn't think I would be able to, I did. In her passing she also taught me about following my dreams. She died with unfulfilled dreams/goals. I didn't want to be the same. The loss of a mother is beyond words and I get jealous every time I see someone with their mom or when I see a movie about mothers & daughters. I'm sending you a great big cyberhug mama. Remember that she's watching over you and your family. She's there always with you. And if you listen hard enough, you can hear her, too. :) Hi Christina. I can so relate to this post.
