My Story


My mom and I have always been close, always had a special relationship. On September 2 I got a call that forever changed my life. My mom had collapsed at church and was being taken via ambulance to the hospital. A few hours later I got another call, this time my best friend telling me how serious things were. Within three hours my coworkers had me on a plane (at zero cost to me!) and by 6 pm that night I was at my mom's side.

After three days in the ICU it was determined that because of how long her brain had gone without oxygen, she likely wouldn't wake up. On September 5th we made the most difficult decision to let her go peacefully. It was something she had talked about so we were sure it was what she would have wanted us to do.

My wonderful mother passed peacefully on September 6 at 6:10 am. She is already missed so much.

This blog is my journey through the grieving process. Hopefully that will keep my regular daily blog a little less depressing.

On this blog I will share some of my daily grief emails and also songs, poems and pictures that touch my heart. Hopefully this will help someone, but if nothing else, it helps me.

Dreams...

Had a dream last night. Dreamed that I got a surprise visit from my dad. He met me at my work, took me driving around. We called mom who was still alive, she was waiting at the house for us. Colleen "accidentally" spoke in the background. It was amazing. I was beyond surprised. To even see you in my dreams was wonderful. I love you and miss you so much mommy. It hurts to be starting a new year without you. I hope I can see you again soon in my dreams. I miss you!
