Are You Missing Someone Right Now?

[Britt.f7]

I'm missing my mom, but that is normal since this is only the second Christmas without her. It was her favorite season and holiday. Been thinking about her a lot. Sometimes thinking of calling her. I hate when I think like that and the realization that I can't.

Even though my mom passed away when I was 2, sometimes, I go outside, look up and talk to her. When I lived close to the beach, I've gone there and talked to her. When I'm able to get to the mountains, I wait for night, then talk to her. I know, I'm crazy. But if you do it quietly, no one will hear you but her.

You are not crazy. From what I've heard many people do this. I like that you like to go to the mountains to do that. If you believe in God, and even if you don't, the mountains and the ocean seem like such majestic places of wonder. I always feel closer to God there...more then any other place. But you don't have to believe in God to feel the power of those places.

I use to talk to my friends who died when I was seven. Sometimes I still do. I've tried talking to my relatives that have passed, especially my mom, but, for some reason, that seems more awkward. Though, if I'm at their grave, or the water(for my mom), I usually don't have a problem with it. It's when I'm not in either place that I have a difficult time. I am going to try it this season though. I believe that might help with the grief. Wow tears out of no where...

if you allow safe, gentle hugs.

Yes, I allow them. I tend to give strong hugs so I apologize if I am squeezing to hard back to you. ;)

Thank you for your kindness! :hug:

I don't share this with people but..I miss my son. The only other person who knows the full story is the man who is the love of my life but now we are broken up. I miss him dearly.

I miss my grandmother. She was a very special and important part of my life. One of the few safe havens in my life. One of the only all-accepting people in my life. I can't believe it has been more than nine years without her...it feels like just yesterday that she was taken from me.

It has always pained me that she never got to meet my daughter. I never got to see my grandmother hold my baby girl. My little girl never got to know what an incredible, strong woman she had for a great-grandmother. It recently hit home when there was a minor home repair that needed to be done and my daughter assumed we needed a man to come in and fix it. I guess I've allowed that to happen because it's easier to have other people come in and fix things around the house when it takes so little for me to feel overwhelmed. But I thought about my grandmother and all of the things that she could do...a woman with so many talents and abilities that knew no bounds. I made the home repair, made sure my daughter saw that I was the one who took care of it and that girls can fix things, too. Then I made a silent vow to my grandmother that I will do a better job teaching my daughter the things and values that my grandmother taught me.
