I didn't read it because I knew in my heart of hearts what it was about & it brings back so much for me. However, you have such a gift for writing & this is so well put. Just know that you are not alone in feeling this way - or any of it. We all go through this. If that book helped me me with anything, it was knowing that! (& I'm pretty sure I needed this reminder in my life right now as well). Hugs to you sweet friend & I hope the book continues to help you along!Shayna @ The Fancy Yanceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037030115310582105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735467110152915555.post-48891718118913742013-01-23T21:17:01.314-05:002013-01-23T21:17:01.314-05:00I have no words.

Yesterday would have been my mom's 51st Birthday. This Valentine's day will be exactly one year since I lost my mom unexpectedly to an illness. No matter what store I enter now there is a reminder of me being motherless. A stupid heart balloon, teddy bears with I love you, boxes of chocolate, I have moments of absolute hate for these things. At 23 I lost my best friend, my comforter, my advice giver, my mother. I know the pains you speak of and they suck. I think about the day I get to go shop for a wedding dress or have my first child and I just break down. We are strong women, us motherless daughters, we have to be, and on some level I find that we are often the strongest when we feel our weakest. dani-carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033549889143230689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735467110152915555.post-49919957897930749672013-01-22T15:39:19.505-05:002013-01-22T15:39:19.505-05:00I'm so sorry that there isn't anything we ...I'm so sorry that there isn't anything we can do to help heal your pain.

And sometimes, you just have to let yourself cry. I do not know nor will I pretend to understand what your grief feels like for you. All I can tell you is that your mother will always be a part of you - and not just because of your DNA ;) You may never stop needing her, but she taught you so much while she was here with you. Remember those lessons and think about what she might tell you. You are such a strong woman - and your mother is responsible for that :)<br /><br />I love you, doll! xoxoHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043515901318010898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735467110152915555.post-86207798017252737302013-01-22T11:14:08.375-05:002013-01-22T11:14:08.375-05:00i can't even imagine, chels... but you are suc...i can't even imagine, chels... but you are such an amazing and strong person, i'm sure your mother is quite proud of the kind of woman you are becoming...<br /><br />just lots of hugs and kisses to you right now...

It's effing tough. Some days I can go about my day like it's just another one, but some days ... some days it's hard to get through anything. This weekend I spent a lot of time in my car, which has always been a place for me to just call my dad and chat away. This weekend while driving, I wanted to talk to him more anything else. I wanted him to listen to everything and tell me his advice. I just wanted to hear his voice. <br /><br />While it sucks we're going through the same thing, it's also helpful knowing someone else knows what this heartbreak feels like. <br /><br />We're always going to need them and miss them. They've made such an impact on our lives and been our lives. Giving you the biggest hug! <br /><br />Brittaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165889636140885985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735467110152915555.post-73120987580730825992013-01-22T09:54:33.692-05:002013-01-22T09:54:33.692-05:00I'm struggling with things in my life right no...I'm struggling with things in my life right now too, but this struggle makes it seems so silly.
