Prayer Circles

My heart go's out to you, I understand your pain. I also lost My Mom in Aug 2000, Very Sudden. No time for a Good bye, I was with her at her home on Thurs, and never dreamed that would be our last hug (FOREVER). I also feel as if I belong to the same club as you, Im older but it doesnt make it any easier, Your words echo in my heart as I say the same things that you say, I know I will never get over my mothers death, and sometimes i just want to be with her!! I have a wonderful family and 2 daughters myself, who I'm very close to, but No One understands my pain, I will pray for your strength, and hope you can visit my mom's memorial, Her name is Bettye Summerlin, Always God Bless Debi

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in May 2000, just 5 days before Mother's Day. She had had many illnesses the past 10 years, including loosing both legs, having bypass surgury, and even later a pacemaker. Through all this, she lived by herself. She was the toughest person I knew. She raised me by herself [with the help of her mom and step-dad], and granted, sometimes we had our ups and downs. But the one thing I remember, is when ever I was sick..she was there. I was always her "little girl". Then, 2 days after she passed away, I learned that she had another daughter 4 years before me, and had given her up for adoption. She had been searching for my mom for 10 years, and had just found her 3 months before, but they were unable to talk before her death. I truly know in my heart, that my mom knew how hard her death would be for me, and she sent my sister to me, so that I could share her memory with her. I can't say it will get easier, but I believe that she's up there, watching over Ann & I, and she's holding both our hands and the same time. My thoughts are with you, and if you need to talk, please feel free to contact me. Donita Jo

A Heart of love iw what every daughter gets from her mother. Loosing a mom is so hard to do. I lost mine on Nov 8,2000 very unexpectedly. God Bless her. Love Helen

I'm sorry for your loss--I wish I could tell you it will get better. But it doesn't! I lost my mother january 24, 1993. in a car accident and my bother and i were in the car with her. My bother was ok but, I suffered a fractured back among other things. And I can tell you it has been 8 yrs. and still seems like yesterday. I miss her so much. I have a real problem with it still. And I guess it will never get any better for me. So I feel for you and it is along road. I will keep in you in my prayers that maybe you can get thru this. God Bless you

My prayers are w/you, as I to lost my Mother in 7-1-1994 and a very Special Lady who was as much or more a Mother the same yr. & month to the day earlier 6-1-1994. We know they're in a better place w/their Lord. God Bless All and Keep Looking Up. Mona Price

I know exactly how you feel. I don't know that it would feel different at any age, but I loss my Mom to Breast Cancer when I was 24. It is the hardest thing in the world to know you can't call your Mom and tell her about your baby, your husband, your job, anything that happens to you. Its like you lose that sweet part of life in some way. Please take care.

I feel your pain and wish you peace. Like many of these women I too lost my mother and my best friend. She knew the true meaning of love and I was lucky to have a mother who loved her children and her husband so much. I am often told I sound or look like my mother and I am glad I reflect her image in some ways and I think this helps my sisters and brother and even my father to keep a little piece of her with us. My family gets me through my loss and I try to keep her memory alive by talking about her and keeping our family close through out the rest of my life.

I feel your pain as well and wish you peace. Like you, I have experienced very close deaths in my family. I lost my Father on April 7, 1996 (Easter Sunday) and then lost my Mother on March 19, 1997 (St. Joseph's Day). I was 32 years old when my father died and 33 when my Mother died.
My father's death was very hard, but my Mother's death was even worse. She was murdered in her home. This was devastating. As I am the only girl and the "baby" of the family (I have 2 older brothers), I didn't think I would every make it without her. She is my best friend in the whole world and not having her here to talk with, laugh with and share so many wonderful times with my children was undescribable. I felt like I had a "hole in my heart so big" and didn't know what to do. But with the "great God above" - he has given me renewed faith, strength, and courage to continue on with my life. Yes, I still have "bad days", but knowing that my parents are together, makes it a little easier. There's never a day that I don't think about them and they will always remain with me in my heart---so always hang on to the beautiful memories and keep a positive attitude about yourself and "God" will help with the rest in HIS TIME!!!.

My prayer goes out to you I also lost my mom in a voilent way and it happened eight yrs ago and still today I miss seeing her wonderful smile and she was my life and my best friend everyday I wish I could call her and tell her of my bad days and good days. I wish that my children had her for the wonderful grandma she was. I have a real hard time knowing that my mom is gone and all my friends still have there mom. I really enjoyed knowing that I am not alone without a mom. Thanks

My thoughts are with you. I lost my mother in Jan 2001 suddenly to heart attack. I was very close to her though we were living in different countries and I had left home 13 years ago. I saw her only once in that time as I could not afford the money to travel home. I miss her tremendously and it kills me that I am not able to pick up the phone to call her (which was the only means of keeping in touch for us. I know the pain of not being able to share moments and I wanted her to visit me and see places that I went to school and where I live, etc and I hope that she is seeing me from above.

I know your pain. I lost my Mother on October 30, 1997 this was 6 weeks after my father drowned. She was killed in an automibile accident and died instantly. She was my best friend. It's been so hard for me, we talked everyday atleast 3 times if not more. I was devistated. I did'nt think I would ever make it without her, but by the Grace of God I am still here. I have bad days, but with God in my life I can now cope with both my Mom's and Dad's death. God Bless You.

I lost my mother to melanoma when she was only 35 years old. I was 10. Thirty-five years later I can say that this was the single most defining event of my life. My prayers are with you. Once you accept that your life will never be the same, you begin to heal. Don't try to circumvent the pain; you have to let yourself go through it. Although I only had my mother for a short time, she left me with the legacy of her faith for which I will always thank God. You have a special angel watching over you now. She will always be with you.

I also lost my mom recently. Last sep 3rd. I lunched with her the day before at Red Lobster (her favorite restaurant). When I hugged her goodbye it seemed she held on so tight. I thought it was odd. The next day I found her in her recliner. I couldnt believe it and still cant. We'd always had an aup and down relationship...I never thought Id miss her this much. There were so many thing I needed to say to her. Its been 9 months and there are times I still feel so completely lost that I dont know what to do. I've heard time heals, but Im wondering when the healing starts. This website is really what I needed. I
It feels like theres no one I know that I can talk to.

My thoughts and prayers are with you & everyone here. I lost my Mom in April 1999, suddenly to a heart attack. I was with her when she collasped, a scene in my mind, that I will never recover from. She was only 54. My Father and brother are still in denial. I know that my Mom is in a beautiful place, but I feel so lost here without her.

My mom passed away in her sleep on April 18, 2000 during Holy Week. It was so hard because we didn't get to tell her good-bye. We had just celebrated her birthday with the other 5 of her kids and grandchildren on April 9th. We were all heartbroken, but we know the Lord took her during Holy Week for a special reason. She had always prayed for a peaceful death. She had spent all her spare time in prayer. She created a special place in all our hearts for having prayerful time talking to God. Our grandson, two at the time, cried and cried when we left to go make arrangements. His aunt said that he cried himself to sleep, then during his nap, he smiled and waved to someone in his dreams. We believe that our mom's spirit came to him to tell him good-bye. Children have a special way of seeing Angels and Jesus when we adults cannot. God Bless You all, and remember that your moms are in the best of company with Lydia. She had just told one of my brothers the week before that she missed my dad who passed away in '97.Now we have 2 angels watching over us.

Dear Nancy,

I lost my mother this May only 3 days after I arrived from abroad. I am 26 years old and after a long and hard work I was this close to realize our dreams with my mother, who is my best friend, my only audience and support in this world. Now I feel alone, with no real support. I know how you feel but know that I am going through the same pain and my heart is with you. I feel I can only express myself more comfortably to people who have gone through the same pain. My prayers are with you. I hope we can recover from the pain and the anger.

My mom died on July 1, 2001 after suffering a long & painful illness. I am so blessed that the Lord has shown me that Mom rests with Him forever more. It is my abiding faith in the risen Savior that comforts me and grants me joy overflowing.
My friends have told me that grief will hit me later. They may be right. But to date I have so shed tears of joy & happiness as I envision Mom laughing and smiling again, suffering no more, holding hands with Jesus.
Wish all of you the peace of Christ and comfort in knowing that what you suffer now is temporary, for the love of God lasts always

I lost my mom about10 months ago. It has been very hard for me and my sisters. We are Motherless Daughters and it is even harder during special times of the year. A lot of people tell you that everything will be alright and I don't lke to hear that, but you just have to keep your faith in God and he will take care of everything else. I will kepp you in my prayers.

Thank you for your understanding and thoughtful memorial to all of us who have been left motherless. I understand most of what everyone has said here so far to some extent or another, because I too just recently lost my mother unexpectedly. I am thankful for the time we did have, and she did get to be a HUGE part in my life, but I still feel like I will never be the same person without her. I thought maybe I was alone in feeling so empty until I read all these messages, and so far this is the only thing I have found that has helped me at all. She was the one person who I could always count on to believe in me, no matter how bad I screwed things up, and no matter what wrongs I may have done I knew she would always forgive me. She was and still is the best friend I have ever had or ever will have. I send my prayers and thoughts to all of you, and thank you for letting me join in your circle. I pray that someday we all will find the peace we need to go on as Motherless Daughters.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mother three years ago. I was only sixteen when I found myself arranging her funeral. I am just so thankful that at the end of our conversation, just one night prior to her death, did I make sure she knew just how much I loved her. We had a saying we used to say every time she tucked me into bed or whenever I called. "I love you to the moon and back". Now I feel her love radiating upon me whenever the sky is clear and I see the moon. I am still coping. I don't think that I will ever be completely in peace but I still hope. I am glad that I have found some people to whom I can relate with. No one else I know really understands the loss of such a signifigant person such as a mother. Thank you for your story.

Maybe this page is a God-thing...my mom was buried one week ago today and I have been lost. I can't imagine ever getting past this. Reading all of your experiences has helped in some odd way. At least I know there is some hope for me to get past this...not over it, but past it enough to live life again. She was my rock and without her I feel as if I am drowning. Please pray for me because right now, I can't feel God's presence in my life. Only emptiness where my mom used to be. Thank you for sharing.

GOD blessed us all with the wonderful mother's we had.And with this webpage.Thank you whoever started it.I lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago and my sister who was my 2nd mom in march from a heart attack. I think time can help the pain but also the more time that passes it's harder because we should be seeing them or talking to them.I thank God for the time I had with them, it just sometimes doesn't seem fair that people who aren,t even close to their mother's get to keep them for so long.I guess God has a plan for all of us and I know our mother's are all watching over us,guiding us and loving us. Now they are free from pain, sickness,and worry. We will be reunited with them again someday. May we all receive comfort and go on with our lives the way our mom's would've wanted us to.Amen

I started a Prayer circle for my sister in Law, she is dyeing with Lung ,And colon and Liver cancer she has less than 6 months and has two small daughters One is 4 and One is 7 Mary is 34, and she is a good person. Please help Me pray for mary too (I pray for your loss . Its something you never get over, you just kind learn to live with it. "You adapt" thats all there is your Mother will always be there with you in your heart no one can take that away from you not even death.)
