eviltammyWas reading my flist this morning and came across
this from naamah-darling about her losing her mother recently.
It just struck me as odd what our minds pick up to illustrate and explain things to us. I actually had that moment from the Buffy episode flash in my mind when I found my mom - I heard myself saying the same words - and when I said "Mommy", I could see the episode in my head.
And, oddly enough, an online comic that I adore Something Positive did a similar storyline at the end of January - Fred wakes up and finds his wife has died unexpectedly. I actually wrote to the guy who does the strip to offer him an odd thank you - because he made me think about the possiblity of my mom dying just a few days before it happened - an odd sort of preparation.
I've gotten very good at saying that my mom died the past few days - I've been calling credit card companies and clubs and cancelling cards and memberships. But it still hurts each time I say it.

Date: 2006-02-22 06:29 pm (UTC)I've been there with my dad and someday, probably sooner than I think I'm prepared for, I'm going to be there with my mom. I wish I could tell you the pain goes away completely, but the best I can honestly do is say that in time, the memories of the good times will over power and lessen the pain.
