She would be so devastated to hear that. She'd want you to move on and be happy, I'm sure.

Most people are pretty insensitive and are unable to understand the pain of anything that hasn't happened to them. It's sad, but that's the "typical" human. I have not been the same since my mom's death either (I STILL cry every day). Based on what I've observed among my friends and the people I've met in bereavement groups, I think that's normal too. But I KNOW that my mom would have wanted me to be happy and live a productive life, and I KNOW your mom feels the same way about you. Honor her life by helping a cause that was important to her.

We don't know the age of the poster, presumable it is a child. How sad it is.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE PERSON!
As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of
school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at
her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was
impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a
little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not
play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he
constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to
the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his
papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big 'F' at
the top of his papers.
At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each
child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she
reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.

God Bless you. It took me 17 years after my father was taken from me suddenly to feel like I could breath again. Your mother is still with you watching over you. You are her precious baby. There is nothing wrong with missing her or anyone who has passed. They mattered to you. Someday we will all be with our loved ones again. I hope you find peace.

To all those who grieve every day for their lost parent my heart goes out to you. I wish I had your problem though. My father passed away last winter and I have yet to spend one minute missing or grieving this loss. I feel something is wrong with me for this. My father was an asshole to us as kids. He had almost a year knowing he was going to die and refused to say a word to his 3 kids about anything that would make a difference. but I still feel like I should be sorry he's gone

Try talking to someone. Maybe your best friends mom or a teacher, or counselor. Cheer up, someone out there does understand. Probably someone closer than you think.

I lost my Mom & best friend 8 years ago. I still miss her every day. But finally, the memories of her quirkiness, our shared laughter and the fun we had together have overtaken what I thought was grief unable to get over. I still have moments of grief, but there are more smiles.

My Mother will be dead 10 years this March and yes, I miss her every day. I really need her advice and care for me since there is not a single person on this earth including the second born aka my ex brother that cares if I live or die. I found out I have kidney cancer last year and have done nothing..see you soon Mom.

Ther is a God and He reigns in Heavan, where your mom is watching.
I pray for His unspeakable peace to surround your heart.
It is ok to cry and mourn. It is ok to move forward. Know that you will be together again. There will be no pain and no suffering. Only joyous smiles...
God Bless You!

Imagine if your close relationship with your mother was taken away by your own family. Imagine that she is still alive, but your Uncle, whom she signed power of attorney to, put an end to your relationship. Just to show control.
We love you Nanny. We miss you and will do our best to move on, holding onto the many memories that they cannot duplicate. They can take away the very close relationship withyour baby daughter and your granddaughters, but they can't take away the memories. They can have your money and all of your possessions, but they, none of them, will ever have a relationship like ours was.
May God watch over you and provide everything you need. May God forgive them as they know not what they do. And if by chance they do and meant for this all to be this way, then they should know that only made us stronger, wiser and closer.

I know exactly how this feels. My mom was taken by cancer in 2004. She died in her home and I had to watch her slowly fade away over the months the disease ravaged her. I know she is happy now, but I will never be the same. It is true, it never gets better..just different.

Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is a bright child with a ready
laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be
around..'
His second grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is an excellent student, well liked
by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal
illness and life at home must be a struggle.'
His third grade teacher wrote, 'His mother's death has been hard on him. He
tries to do his best, but his father doesn't show much interest, and his
home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken.'
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show
much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and he sometimes
sleeps in class.'
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents,
wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His
present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a
grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other
presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone
bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter
full of perfume. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed
how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume
on her wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough
to say, 'Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.'

After the children left, she cried for at least an hour.. On that very day,
she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to
teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she
worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged
him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one
of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would
love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her 'teacher's pets..'
A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling her that
she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.
Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote
that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the
best teacher he ever had in life.
Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had
been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would
soon graduate from college with the highest of honours. He assured Mrs.
Thompson that she was still the best and favourite teacher he had ever had
in his whole life.
Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he
explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a
little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and
favourite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer.... The
letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.

The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another letter that
spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be married He
explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was
wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place
that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. Of course, Mrs.
Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several
rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was wearing the perfume
that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.
They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear,
'Thank you Mrs. Thompson for believing in me. Thank you so much for making
me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.'
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, 'Teddy,
you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a
difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you.'
(For you that don't know, Teddy Stoddard is the Dr. at Iowa Methodist in
Des Moines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.)
Warm someone's heart today. . . pass this along. I love this story so very
much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a difference in
someone's life today? tomorrow? just 'do it'.
Random acts of kindness, I think they call it!

To the person who said grow up, screw you! Obviously, you haven't lost a parent, or if you have, you are just an insensitive person. I am 33 yrs old, and still cry over losing both of my parents. My dad died just a little over 7 yrs ago, and my mom died 4 1/2 yrs ago, and it still hurts just as much as they day they died.

Its only been four years since my Mom died from Breast Cancer. I was 15. Every day I think of her, and miss her so much it hurts. Many people dont understand. You NEVER get over losing your Mom. You continually go through the grief process. Every time something new comes into your life, and you would turn to talk to you mom or see how she is doing... it starts all over again....
I will never be the same.

I am 31 yrs old. I lost my mom to breast cancer when i was 17 yrs old. She was 45. Even if I talk about a memory having to do with her today I still have to try hard to hold back tears. Just like some of the others have posted on here you never get over then loss of a loving parent. I will never forget my mother nor will I not want to weep with the thought of here. I dont think that Person who wrote this untold secret should feel nothing but bravery for their ability to talk about their feelings.
