Reply #58: I know it hurts beyond any expression of words.

I can see you have many friends on DU and I just saw your post on your mom. Please know that in time, and I can not say when it will be, you will have less hurt and more joy of remembering the wonderful times like in your picture you posted. I know because I lost my 26 year old son, my mother in law, my dad, my dog and my husband all within 17 months. The hurt of loss never really goes away but it becomes softer than the agonizing silent cry we feel in our heart when we think of them when they first pass on. May you have much support and know others care. I do.
