hi so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it is a hard time for you. But believe me you learn to carry on. My dad died 18 years ago at 55. not a day passes when I don't think of him, but researching his family tree makes me feel close to him. I have even put flowers on his gggg grandparents grave. I know he would be proud as I am sure your mum was proud of you. Take care Claire x

What a really lovely verse quoted by Julie for Angela`s loss I had tears in my eyes reading it, even although its almost 14 years ago since my dear husband died, I still feel his loss, and at times it feels just like yesterday. However, it is true that time does bring healing and the pain softens, you can then speak about your loved one and relive many happy memories of your shared time, and I`m sure Angela, that you will feel like this about your mother in time to come, the pain will not be so hard to bear, and you will always remember the happy times you had with her, and be sure that one day you WILL meet again. It will be possible eventually for you to think about your mother without feeling pain or sadness. God bless you and help you along the way until that day arrives.

I came back to this thread to see how Angela was doing and have jsut read the poem that Jule put on and I had tears streaming dwon my face - how lovely and comforting xxx

Angela please accept my sympathy on the loss of your mother I too lost my mother in june 2005 and exactly as you have expressed life goes on when I lost my father 7yrs ago I wanted to shout from the roof tops 'Please stop the world my father died today please everybody just stop doing every day things',and when mum passed away I was doing this family history and it does give you comfort to know that its really another part of life , I do hope you remember the lovely times with your Mum as I do with mine there was many ,but too few too as you would know God Bless and here's a hug (((((( angela))))) love and hugs Lara

HI Angela, thought you might like this little poem explains what life's all about really, FAMILY. The roots are deep, the branches wide, the tree of life, a family`s pride. As descendants we are, so ancestors we shall be, generations of heritage, create our family tree. Happiness and sadness, for hundreds of years, A family is togetherness, for laughter and for tears, so gather up the pictures, and record the family lore, so those that follow after shall know the family before..

Sorry about your mum. I lost my dear dad in October and I still cant believe he has gone. But I understand what you mean. When I found my deceased's mums ancestors and I could actually look at their headstones it gave me an almost sense of comfort. Knowing that these people (who I hadnt known existed) had been there all the time that 5 more generations had moved on. As you say, hard to explain, but a great comfort.
