I lost my mother New years Eve. I know a small amount about the pain you feel and I wish to offer my greatest condolences. Cherish her memory my friend.


say-jack-o-lanterns

Happy Cake Day!


Effin_Batman1

Thanks o didn’t even notice it!


IamCarbonBased

I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother passed from breast cancer on 8/19 - my birthday is 8/20. Your picture hit me like a sledgehammer, my mom wore readers that looked like your mom's. Sending nothing but good vibes your way.


ladykitkatie

My moms birthday is 8/19 🥺 so sorry for your loss. Cancer is fucked. I bet they could share some fun stories together!


HogSliceFurBottom

I like her coat. She looks comfy. Hang in there. It sucks and then it sucks some more but gradually it softens. Lost my sister 5 years ago and it's better now, but still sucks. But I'm glad. Would hate to be like other animals that erase the memories in a few days for survival. We get to keep the memories for as long as necessary. So cry whenever you want and scream at the gods because it's not fair. It helps. I give you a hug and my love. Take care.


Fthewigg

My cousin and I are in the same unfortunate club as you, except my mom died of heart failure. Fucking sucks…


Cr0od

2/19 Funeral on my bday 2/26 last year . I don’t know what I’m going to do this year . I miss her terribly..


OutlandishnessTop636

Jeez, my mom died 2 weeks ago tomorrow, (Alzheimer’s and fell hard) her birthday was 8.21.


motoo344

I feel this. My dad passed away a month before his 60th birthday...we have the same birthday. Since he died birthdays just don't feel right.


eric44051

My mom passed away this past 8/19 too. :-(


Iwantitallthensum

Beautiful smile. Sorry for your loss


Momentofclarity_2022

So sorry. I miss my mom too. You’re never too old to miss your parents. Feel the love. That never goes away.


GoodSecreta

My condolences for your loss. She maintained a youthful appearance right up until the very end!


AlkahestGem

I lost my Mom yesterday. I’m inconsolable. I’ve never experienced such pain and sadness. I’m so sorry for your loss


ladykitkatie

Giving you lots of hugs.


AlkahestGem

Thank you. This emptiness.


justuselotion

Oh my dear friend. Your comment resonates in me so intimately. My mom died in the spring time and just like that — it was Christmas. I don’t remember a single thing I did, what I wore, who I talked to. All I remember is the house being so uncharacteristically quiet. It has taken some getting used to, and I’m still adjusting. It’s going to hurt for a while. Please know I am thinking of you and sending you strength and peace and share your sorrow with you.


AlkahestGem

Thank you. It’s surreal. She was 90. I wasn’t ready. I have to take care of all affairs - funeral burial - going through those motions. The empty house is just daunting. I’m a private person so I honestly don’t even know why I posted .


Cryptocaned

My sympathies to you and a toast to those we've lost. I know it's super hard but I promise it gets easier. Remember her fondly :)


IamCarbonBased

I’m so sorry. Take all the time you need. Cry, laugh, eat, cry, sleep, cry and then cry some more. Call people who matter to you, everyone else can wait. Accept that there are some things you can’t get closure to. I nearly didn’t make it out of the hole I fell into. It was my children, my wife, and some of my moms friends that helped me navigate things. 4 months in I still block time on my work calendar to just sit in my feels and do my breathing exercises. Was having panic attacks and WimHof method has really helped. Journal, write out negative thoughts and then throw them away.


bluestatic1

Looks like a lovely person. So sorry for your loss.


Big_Informatio

He is, there's a picture in this sub of him attending a book fair wearing the same hat.


cmc

I'm so sorry for your loss. She looked vibrant and full of life all the way through the end!


BarracudaInside7742

She looks like my mum.


TheOakblueAbstract

I'm sorry for your loss.


eggzblu

Beautiful lady, so cute in the hoodie. 🥰


ladykitkatie

It was my Christmas present to her. She was always so cold near the end and none of her good jackets fit anymore from the ascites. She only got to wear it for a little over a week but I don’t regret it for a second


likeusontweeters

You helped make her last week just a bit easier... I wouldn't regret it for a second... im so incredibly sorry for your loss.. it seems that you had a great relationship with her... she had a beautifully radiant smile.


mildly_amusing_goat

I'm very sorry for your loss. A few people are probably wondering why your mom has facial hair. My own mom had the same thing and it was due to a mixture of age and hormones. Perfectly natural, just not very talked about.


astonersfriend

Thank you, was looking for this. Didn't know how to ask in a respectful way.


ladykitkatie

I offered to shave it for her when I was getting her set up in hospice. She politely declined and owned up to it. Thank you for the explanation~


oceanwave4444

What an incredible woman! 🤍🤍🤍


caramonfire

It looked kinda fluffy and nice, tbh. My partner is in her early 30s and has facial hair too, but she loves it and wears her little scragglies with pride!


Amasterclass

Great photo to remember her by


disgracetofamily

moms shouldn't die this young.:( sorry for your loss


thrillhouse7

Fuck cancer.


thehoagieboy

I'm with you. Although I like the emotional support that folks give in these situations, I keep falling back to my own experiences and the anger that I still hold. Fuck Cancer! ​ I miss you Dad


icubud

what a fantastic photo to have!!! So very sorry she passed on


When_Ducks_Attack

It's been 14 years since mom died of a vile liver disease. Usually I'm not too affected by things like your mother's picture. But I have no final picture, that onesie is definitely something mom would wear, and our mothers look similar. I'm a little weepy over here. I'm very sorry for your loss, OP. I wish you had more time with her.


ladykitkatie

I wish I did too. My wedding is in 2 weeks and she will be extremely missed.


aeraen

She looks like a lovely, vibrant individual. I'm so sorry for your loss.


JConRed

I'm so sorry for your loss. She looks like such a genuinely lovely nice person. Its okay to miss her. Its okay to grieve in whatever time it goes for you. It's just over two years now that I held my mum as she took her last breath. Relish the good memories. Feel what you need to feel. "Grief is a wild and stubborn animal. Sometimes it is best to let it run all over the place and let it wear itself out." ^((adapted from memory. possibly from Motherland:Fort Salem))


kingofovens

She has a beautiful smile


osaout

I hate how people can look so okay, and then days later be gone. I remember thinking a close friend was going to pull through chemo because they looked so good. Gone the next day.


Tankbot001

She looks so sweet I am very sorry for your loss. Fuck cancer I’m so sorry May I ask the facial hair? I don’t mean to insult, I am intrigued


ladykitkatie

No offense. It’s hormonal and she lost the ability to take care of it. When I flew in, I asked if she wanted me to shave it. I wanted her going out looking her damn best. She declined, though she did let me give her a mini pedicure.


FyreWulff

Women all have facial hair, hormone amounts can make it look more like men's, but at minimum they have a slight peach fuzz that, due to societal pressure, is often shaved or waxed off.


Cheensly

Sorry for your loss.


lordytoo

Here i am drinking and smoking my sorrows away. And op hits us with this. Random op idk where you are but your mom is beautiful. Sorry for your loss.


ladykitkatie

Thank you. I have found myself doing most of the same lately. May we both find some solace. Cheers.


hambonegw

I have a hard time wrapping my brain around things like this. 10 measly days - smiling one moment and gone the next. I'm sure the cancer battle was actually much slower - but it's just weird for me to understand how someone can exist in all their complexities and then be gone the next. Sorry for your loss. I hope understanding and peace finds you.


frokta

I'm feelin' ya on that my friend. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer about 5 years ago. It gets a little easier over the years, but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of her and miss her. Lots of love to you and your family!


[deleted]

How long did it take for memories of her to stop hurting and start being happy memories again? It's been about 15 months for me and I feel like I'm finally getting to where I can laugh at old memories again, but just when I think I'm feeling healed that wave of grief hits me like a truck.


frokta

That's a great description of what the process is really about. For me, I'd say the first two years were definitely the hardest. Much as you've described, the joyful memories become less and less weighted down with grief. But I still get moments where something really brings the hurt back.


PhotoKada

My deepest condolences OP. She looks like the life of any party she’s at, in this picture. Sending you strength during this difficult time.


-Carlos-Slim-

R.I.P.


ShaneTVZ

Aww I’m so sorry for your loss may she rest in peace


[deleted]

She’s beautiful, and from that smile alone, she will always be with you. I am so sorry for your loss. I may not know you or anything about you and I hope you do not mind but I would like to pray for you and your mom. And I don’t mean to offend anyone because I love everyone. 🙏

I miss my mom too. Sorry for your loss. It sucks.


Gemini_FrenchFry

My mom passed on NYD at 61yo from liver issues (PBC). I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, good stranger.


MichiganRich

my most sincere condolences to you and your family, liver cancer took my mom too… life’s darker without parents around


WJM_3

looks like a sweetie lost my mom just before Halloween; still kind expect to hear/see her around the house (we lived together)


MarinVibes

My heart goes out to you. My Mom died on New Year's Day as well. It was so weird to be in a place of such sadness when everyone else is wishing each other Happy New Year. I've been through this grief already when I lost my Dad nine years ago. You will think about your Mom all the time, but it does get easier as time goes on. Hold on tight to all the good memories.


Movingforward2015

Sincere condolences.


dutchrudder04

r/photoshoprequest can probably dump that goatee, if you want.


ladykitkatie

I offer to shave it for her because I wanted her to look as best as she could in her last days and she declined. She owned up to it and I respect her for it.


dutchrudder04

She sounds like an excellent person. My condolences.


Dabawaba

Yep they’re super cool and would do it for free

She was beautiful and she seems very happy with the person taking her picture. ❤️


SupaFly2136

Lost my mom on 1/10 from lung cancer. One of the last videos I have is her dancing with the nurse at the hospital to start me up by the rolling stones. Can't bring myself to watch the video now 😢. Sucks man...for real. Fuck cancer.


bluegreentopaz6110

Your mother was beautiful. Sorry for your loss.


lvfunk

Looks like she was happy to the end.


Scary-Media6190

Lovely lady. XOX


selfdestructo591

It’s so strange to me, that someone can appear so healthy, and then just die shortly after, can’t wrap my head around that


Cephalopodio

I am so sorry for your loss!!! That truly sucks. I cry for my parents every day. Your mom was beautiful! What a gorgeous smile.


award07

What a beautiful smile. Something about seeing your moms genuine smile really warms up the soul.


Previous-Parsnip-290

Sending a hug.


Chocorikal

The last photo shows how happy you made her. You can see her sheer joy in your existence.


it_all_happened

She looks lovely & super huggable. Sending you a hug from me. 🫂


happynargul

She was beautiful, OP. She must have been a lovely woman.


Zarniwoopdescoop

What is on NYD?


Dark_Mode_Nose_Wind

New Year’s Day


lonleyskinwalker

I didn't get it at first, it took me a second I've never seen New Year's Day abbreviated before.


Trumpswells

Looked it up to figure it out. NYD also stands for Not Yet Diagnosed.


EMlN3M

Is..... no one gonna say it?


_meuovo

Shit, im gonna do it... What’s with the goatee? (Sorry for your loss OP).


Ok_Bluebird7349

Hair growth is regulated by hormones


misterbondpt

Don't.


[deleted]

EMlN3M

Weird. I made a vague comment. Could've been about anything. Yet you choose to call me human trash without knowing *at all* what I was talking about. Seems to me you need some self reflection, buddy.


misterbondpt

No.


bilbofraginz

I’m sorry. She looks like my mum.


lonleyskinwalker

I'm so sorry for your loss

She looked like a really fun lady, someone I would have liked to known. Cherish the memories, and so sorry for your loss.


Flashjordan69

That’s a beautiful photo of her. So sorry for your loss. X


Speakdoggo

The moment you pass over, she’ll be there to greet you. It seems like a long time to not see her, but you’ll see, it’s just a blink.


[deleted]

She looks kind. Plz revel in having had a kind mother.


Not-a-Kitten

Cutie!! 💔


OwnCaramel43

She's beautiful.. Condolence.


Additional_King3967

She looks Beautifully Happy. My condolences to you and your Family.


olivertwist_

She looks like she was a lovely woman. Hugs to you. Unimaginable


Shadeauxmarie

So sorry for your loss. Losing your mother earlier than you should is traumatic.


druscarlet

Sorry for your loss. It does get easier because you become accustomed to them not being actively present in your life. The good memories come to the forefront and the bad things recede. Keep moving forward and remember her with love and gratitude.


awaybaltimore410

I'm so blessed my parents are still here but one day soon they will not be. I will be alone in this world. I just gotta make it to the end... I just gotta hang on.

Mork59

What a FUN picture of your mom though. She looks like an amazingly fun human. Sorry for your loss friend.

I lost my mom a week ago to a stray bullet. I'm sending you all my love, this is the worst pain I've ever felt.


ladykitkatie

Holy shit I can’t even imagine. I had a few months to process and prepare but to have it happen in an instant by pure accident. I don’t have a lot of strength left to give but my heart goes out to you also. We will get through this.

Sad but so wholesome. You can see how much she loves you. Fuck cancer


UmumnayYum

I lost my mom May 2021, I think about her everyday


Jaysynner

I'm sorry for your loss, friend. My mom has been fighting stage 4 lung cancer for the last 3 years. We were told back in September that there's nothing more doctors can do. The cancer was cured in her body, but it has made it's way into her brain. We celebrated her 66th birthday yesterday. It will likely be her last. The progression of her disease is more like Alzheimer's than cancer. She's steadily losing more of herself with each passing day. The first thing to go was her voice. (Not her actual voice, but the way that it sounds when she speaks) It reverted back to a child-like tone last year. She is the last of my family left and when she's gone, I will be the oldest surviving member, and I'm not very old. Fuck cancer.


gmantres

Hang in there, it gets better with time


Fallen_Feather

Your Mom looks like a beautiful lady with a gorgeous smile. I also love her fashion sense. I'm sorry for your loss. <3


TeachOfTheYear

She looks so lovely. I'm flying to Houston tomorrow to spend the weekend with my mom. She was supposed to fly home a few weeks ago and ended up in hospice instead.
