You bring so many interesting things to Mudcat, Raptor, and you have shared sorrow here also. Your mother must have been a very interesting woman to have brought up such a son. I hope you'll tell us about her when you're ready.

I agree with Pat, once the huge pain of loss passes you can look back at the person and see the good stuff with a new perspective. You are the keeper of those important things, and you can share them and remember and honor them. This doesn't mean the tough times go away, but you learn perspective. My parents died in 1997 and 1998. Sometimes I still have a moment of surprise that they're gone. And there are so many times when I miss them, always on Thanksgiving, and often on occasions when my kids do things that I know they'd enjoy hearing about.

Take care. And hold your friends and the rest of your family close.

My condolences for your many losses in just a few years. I can't imagine how you will bear it - but you will. Now is a good time to USE your friends- they can't take away the pain but it is good to be reminded of the importance of love in your life also.

Jeez Raptor, Im sorry. That feeling of being an orphan at any age is contradictory. Its empowering its tireing its reminising, its looking ahead, its a time of loss and a time of finding. some people are better and some are bitter.
For me the one thing that didn't pass away was a lifetime of remembered love.
Hoping you are well.
Don

This will be my 2nd attempt to post on this thread. The gremlins ate my first post. It was...

And in that one way you are. No one ever replaces a parent that was deeply loved.

My Mom died 43 years ago. She was only 43 at the time. I arrived back home from college very late in the evening and my Dad and I talked long into the night. He'd lost his own Mother many years before and one thing he said to me that night was the best and truest thing he ever told me was, "Not a day will go past that you won't think of her."   

At the time it seemed almost too painful to consider, but as time passed the cold pain of her loss was replaced by the warm flush of the memory of the person she was. Now at this long distance out I realize that the Ol' Man knew well of what he spoke. He died just a few years later not a day goes past without their memory in my day somewhere

I'm sorry for your loss and you have my best thoughts.

((((((((((((((((((Raptor)))))))))))))))

Hang on in there, you are now on Hug Therapy! It's horrible to lose a parent, especially if you had only one left and the other dying so short a time ago. I really feel for you. You are surrounded in hugs to help yourself to - though a lot will just arrive :-)

Accept the fact things are going to get harder before they get better but remember you have a lot of back-up behind you from the Cat. PM me if you think I can be of any help (not sure where you are - I'm in Yorkshire.

Lots of love and hugs
