I have been crying for two days now.  I didn't know that was possible.  How do I not become dehydrated?  I am absolutely exhausted.  Even now tears are behind my eyes. God, my heart aches.   It physically aches. I am going to Hospice counselling on Thursday.  


When I was little I was going to run away from home.  I remember crying and just having a bad day.  My brother came out to get me before I got past the front of the house because Mom was going to make strawberry Quik.  I want my life to be that simple again.  My mom and a glass of strawberry Quik.

  2. I am sorry you are hurting.... but tears can heal and slowly wash away the excruciating pain... so do not worry about crying so much even though it exhausts you. Sending you lots of hugs and love.

  4. This just hit me right in the gut. Oh hon, it hurts so much, but you honor your mother with your tears. How could you not miss her? it was not a mistake to be close to her. Not at all. This heartache is the price we pay for loving the way you have loved and are loved by your mom. It is worth every tear to have known that. Be gentle as you grieve. this is going to take some time. Keep writing it out. She was really something special, your mom.

  6. I saw this quote on somebody's blog and kept it because it was so true,
    "The cure for anything is salt water, sweat, tears or the sea."

  10. My dear Birdie: Life isn't always so simple and there are things that we see clearly only with eyes that heve cried. Hugs. Y

  11. I hope you will make yourself a glass of Strawberry Quik. It probably isn't going to make you feel better today, but down the road a ways, after some time has passed, it might.
    Hugs.

  16. Grieving is exhaustion itself. All I can say is that you have to go through it and it will get easier. I wish you all the best with that process.

    Thinking of you.
