My Mom

[Cat]

Lisabeth Giomi is my mother. She left this world last Friday, September 12th. She was sick for many months, yet her death was not the relief that I accepted. I just keep thinking there was not enough time. And, yet, by many accounts we had lots of time together and many goodbye chats. Her void is so huge....and my Dad is just beside himself. He has the erect posture of a young soldier one minute and he is crumbled on the stairs the next. They were married 44 years and were absolutely inseperable. This last 5 days have been quite a roller coaster. Moments of giddy giggles about memories to long sobs that there won't be more memories to make. I am just sad and needing to talk and share my Mother with the world. Thanks for listening and offering such a place to do so.

Hi,Cat I am so sorry for your loss; my mom just passed on October 4. she was also ill for a long time back and forth to the hospital and rehab. She was 91 years old but she had a fantastic memory and did her own bills and checkbook, lol....I think she knew this last time, my dad passed in 2001 and her heart was really with him, although our family tried to keep her with us as long as we could.....I am lost without her, she lived with my husband and myself these past 17 months. I try to get by every day, the nights are the hardest, she had a strong will, but in the end she couldnt fight anymore. She suffered so much in the end that we were begging God to take her home and when the call finally came, I thanked God for listening, and thanked my Dad for coming to get her. I found this place tonight. Well thank you also for listening. Carol

[/quot:(My heart aches for you. My mom died 2 years ago and the ache for her is still in my heart. I pray that time will ease things for you but we always want our moms around. I found this site tonight looking for help with a lot of grief going on in my life. I hope it will help. You hang in there and laugh and cry and remember what all she taught you ... Your dad will be so lonely ... reach out to him. He has lost 1/2 of him.
