I know that things got hard in the end and that I was often frustrated with you. I miss your advice, your jokes, and even your bad days. You used to be the first person I called when I was upset, scared, confused, or happy. I just want to have you back in my day-to-day life. Maybe I am being selfish, but I don’t care, I think in this situation I am allowed to be unreasonable and selfish. I hate that you left us so soon, and even more so when I know that I never got the chance to say goodbye. I want to talk to you, I want to see you, and I want you to be there for all the boys’ events and life milestones, no matter if they are big or small. I don’t want you to be happier in Heaven, I want you to be here with us. Actually if I am completely honest, that thought makes me a bit angry. I am often told how you are happier in Heaven but honestly that never makes me feel better. I try not to dwell on how much you are missing here on Harth, but that can be easier said than done. This Saturday, it will be three years since you left us. Isn’t that essentially what Facebook and blog posts are: a social media site to connect with other like-minded individuals? Here is my letter to my mom in heaven: We need to reach out and draw strength from one another. I want to help other people know we are never fully alone, somewhere there is someone feeling just as you feel and that there is healing within communication.

I’m in the process of learning how to use those vast emotions for good. I am sure I will try the letter thing again, but maybe not anytime soon as it does bring a lot of feelings rushing back. I think it did help a little bit as I enjoyed the feeling of talking to her, but I know I did not fully vent all of my emotion.

Some days are just going to be better than others and that is OK, as long as we make a point to continue living and find joy again in the world around us. I believe we just learn how to better cope, and sometimes mask the pain until we can deal with it. I do not think there is or should be a time limit to grief, especially as I don’t believe it ever really ends.

I still have such a wide range of emotions when I think about her that I thought the idea of communicating them through not just words, but a personal letter, might be just the trick to help release some of the pent-up grief, frustration, and sorrow I feel when it comes to her. It struck a chord within me as the anniversary of my mother’s passing was quickly approaching. About a week ago, her husband made a Facebook post about how he had taken the time to write her a heavenly letter as recommended by his grief counselor and how he found it extremely therapeutic.

Watching her journey was awe-inspiring as I had always admired her but now witnessed her strength on a completely different level. While you might not always be able to say the perfect thing, sending a quote to let them know you're thinking of them and their loss may make them feel just a little less alone in their experience.A few months ago, I lost a mentor to a long, but courageous, fight to cancer. If you have a friend or family member who has lost their mother (or if you're experiencing that loss yourself), acknowledging that the day might be hard is important. When you've lost a loved one, especially someone as special as your mother or your father, reminders filling your social media feed can be incredibly difficult to see on a holiday like this. It can be hard to feel loved and appreciated when you're also navigating trauma and grief. Mother's Day can be especially complicated for those who have lost their mothers and are also mothers themselves. Even if it's been years since she passed, reading through these loss of mother quotes might provide some comfort on Mother's Day and beyond. Maybe someone in your life has recently lost their mother, or perhaps this is the first Mother's Day without your own mom. For those who have experienced the loss of a mother or mother figure, the day can bring up feelings of sadness and grief. While Mother's Day can be a joyful, celebratory holiday filled with gratitude and love, it can also be a complicated time for many people.
