"A loss of a parent -- although part of the natural order -- is difficult. I can guarantee that she will never leave you. My mother has been good 25 years -- and she is still a very important part of my every day life." This came to me in a card from my back-door neighbor, in her late 70s, the day after losing my Mum. Maybe you'll some time find comfort in these words, as I did.

Mia, I know how you feel. Today would be my mom's birthday but she passed away 19 years ago when I was 18. You will never come along easy with losing her but at some point your feelings will change from mourning and the good memories will take over. People who still have theire parents won't understand why her birthday and her day of death are not so hard dealing with the loss, because you think about her each day of you life.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't wish I had Mom back. I think all of us feel that way. I saw it Vito & Frank's eyes at the wake and funeral for Carol's sister, I heard it in Jo's voice every time I talked to her on the phone in the last few months, and I could see it on Dad's face when I saw him over the weekend. I think it would be weird if you DIDN'T want one more moment with her. It's just natural to feel that way if you love the person that died. The thing to recognize is that Mom will always be with us, that she'll always be looking out for us, and whipering in our ears when we need it most. You have to let the pain of her death fade at some point, and hold on to her life, hold on to the memories you had with her, and let her LIFE have presence in your life, not her death. It'll take us all time to get there, and we'll always feel the loss of Mom, but in the end, I want her to look down and see that I'm living my life the best I can, not in fear of death, or anything else for that matter. I think that's the best thing we can do.
