Loss of a Mother

When you love someone you hold them dear.when their time comes it hurts so deep and servere.

      You feel so incomplete and you just can't believe,you feel so empty cause your missing a piece.

 It tears your heart up inside,you feel like you want to die or lose your mind.

      When our mom found out she had cancer,she tried to deal with it the best she could by going through treatment like she should,in hopes it would be taken away for good.We tried to help as much as we could.

      Her pain she endured made me cry and brought so many tears to my eyes to see her trying to fight this everyday and every night

      No one ever want's to lose the ones they love,sometimes no matter what we do there's nothing that can be done to change the fate that will probably come.

     Our mom held the family together she was always there no matter what we'd do, this is all true.She was always there to lend a hand she'd never give up on us even when she was feeling really bad.

So sensitive,and positive to she has a loving heart through and through. 

     One night I was holding her hand she was sitting in the recliner that we had.Her arm so swollen and in overwelming pain she sat there crying,I wanted so bad to take it all away.

     I looked up above and asked the Lord to enable me to take her pain for her.It really happen and it did come true cause my prayer was answered too.

     I felt so much horrendous pain that I never felt in my life it went all through my arms it was pain I have never felt,even with someone like me who can handle pain but with this words could never explain,

at least for a moment she seemed more comfortable and at peace,she stopped crying and fell asleep.

    My mom was 43 one night she went into a coma,I prayed and pleaded that she'd wake up and smile,

In minutes her breathing became more shallow.I stayed by her side holding her hand and softly whispered we all love you please don't go.  I watched her breathing and seen her take her last breath,I knew she was'nt coming back.

   My body went limp and I felt in shock it was so hard to believe our mom was gone.I hoped it was just a horrible bad dream.We know she'll always be with us cause she's in our hearts no matter where we are.She's in heaven where shes at peace with other loving family and in God's home pain free.She will always be missed that will never change and our love will never fade or ever go away.

I can't bear the thought of losing my Mum either, at any age, but your words are certainly showing me the pain I will no doubt experience when the inevitable occurs. Grieving is always powerful and so is your piece, thank you for sharing such deep emotions.

there is never a right time to say goodbye to ones mother, but certainly not at only 43.
I posted a poem on my site titled "Mommy Dearest" about the experience of my mothers passing

To go through such a loss and witness a loved one's deepest pains is hard to say the least. to write about strength and courage is so much a drawing out of a person's will to love no matter what. I love your poem Karen

Karen I am truly sorry to here you have to go through this..I was starting a contest and if I would have it was called try to make me cry well this one would have won it cuase I am feeling the emotion right now...Just remember this god does answer prayers but when he takes someone soul its not for us to hurt , its for us to know that when god takes them he making them pain free...Hes does not want you to suffer in pain he wants you to fell blessed that she is there in his arms and with all you other family members living a life in heaven with no hurting.....Stay strong cause I know she will watch over you and still be there to protect you...So this was the most inspireing peice I have ever got the chance to read.....best wishes to you and your family...god bless

Karen, i feel your pain in this write.....though i still have my mother, i lost my grandmother(her mother) to cancer...i was very close to her and i miss her very much. i know that words don't always make the pain go away, but just think that she will always be with you in your heart and your mind. take solace in the fact that she is at peace and without the pain that she had endured. i am sure that she is in a much better place and waiting for everyone else to join her one day.

please be at peace.

Always,

Amanda

Honestly it took me forever to read this because at this very moment in my life my mother, my best friend, has cancer cells on her left lung...and I am dying inside because of it...my brother pasted away just last May of Brain and lung cancer...this was very hard to get through...and it hurt me almost to the point I couldn't bare it. But it was beautifully written dear and the heartache came out so powerfully! Wonderful job...

Thank you for sharing this peice. your words echo my own experience. I think as kids we belive that our parents are immortal. That they will outlive us. This is an honest and raw peice. This is to me is somewhere between a poem and a fact based peice of writing. It seems to me that your would be well encouraged to try your hand at both poetry and story telling. That have been said i admire your bravery in being new to the Cafe and sharing such an honest peice of your world with us. may your work encourage others to pick up thier pen as we encourage you to become better and bolder in what your write by our love and support of you.

A truly sad picture of one of the aspects of life, that sucks.
I feel the pain of loss in your words
I see the reminder that one should love as much as they can their kin everyday.
And that in the end, to always hold memories close.

Well writen.
Thanks for sharing!

Karen,
I could feel your hurt and loss in this piece, just as deeply as I felt mine when I lost both my parents inside 18 months. It is a pain that cuts to the bone, I know. The only criticism I have of this piece is that you ought to break your lines a little better, which would make it easier to follow. But nice work, overall.
