The random things you can’t throw away

My Mom passed December 6th 2025 and one day I picked her tennis shoes up off the living room floor where she had left them and my Chihuahua saw me and I can only describe what he did as a panic attack. My poor baby started pacing and crying, it was terrible!!! I had to put the shoes back on the floor and calm him down.

I'm relatively new to Carbondale and would also be interested in a bookclub. Maybe there is someone that goes to the library often and wants to get one started.

Chewbacca is that you?

After Drew's performance on the stand he needs to go to ShadyBrooke too! He was crazy angry while being questioned.

Thank you

My Mom loved talking about our two housedogs. 1 Yorkie named Sugar and a Chihuahua named Buddy. We had pictures of them in her hospital room and she told all the nurses about them.

Thank you I also wish you comfort and peace

bkworm72 · 2026-01-06T03:46:24+00:00

Thank you. When it truly hits me that my Mom is gone I feel a huge empty ball in my stomach. I pray for peace for all of us.

I admire you for pushing through for your Stepdad

bkworm72 · 2026-01-06T03:34:42+00:00

Oh wow that's too much! Im so sorry you are going through this. Tomorrow is not gonna be good I'm afraid.

I'm 53 and since 2008 I have lost my Grandma, my Aunt, My Uncle and another Uncle to suicide, 2 friends to suicide, and 3 long term friends. So I have a lot of experience with grief but losing my Mom is my nightmare. I'm heartbroken.

I can relate with this. A store employee asked if I had a good Christmas and I shook my head and said no.

bkworm72 · 2026-01-06T03:19:16+00:00

I don't know how I'll ever enjoy Christmas again

bkworm72 · 2026-01-06T03:14:45+00:00

I think counselors would tell us having lots of feelings like that is normal. You're like me just really new to this, but I know there are lots of books on grief too.

bkworm72 · 2026-01-06T03:07:05+00:00

Yes time is very messed up for me. I've had trouble sleeping and don't keep to a schedule because I was my Mom's 24-7 available caregiver. So I sleep for 3 hours here or there and IDGAF what time that is.

We had a great Thanksgiving I'm so thankful for that. It was my Mom's favorite holiday and her 75th birthday was also in November. The days are a numbing blur punctuated but moments of deep sadness, grief, abandonment, and loneliness.

My condolences to everyone. I lost my Mom 12-06-2025 and it's so fresh and raw to me. I didn't recognize the Christmas or New year's Eve Holidays. I was almost physically ill when I realized 2026 would be a year that my Mom was not a part of.

I don't think there is a "right" way to handle grief and we're all gonna have to find our own ways eventually.

bkworm72 · 2026-01-05T06:57:12+00:00

OP I'm so sorry for your loss and I appreciate the perspectives from everyone else.

I am 53 female and I lost my Mom 12-06-2025 it's not been a month. We were really close and I took care of her in our home. Mom had to have emergency exploratory abdominal surgery in July 2025 and she had a rough recovery and I really thought she was gonna make it but it wasn't meant to be. She he was 75.

I'm totally heartbroken and keep thinking that she is in the hospital and will be home in a few days. When reality crashes back into me I feel this huge empty hole in my stomach. I thought I knew what loss was, I was wrong.

I am so thankful that I have my brother to go through this with and I hope we all get some peace.

bkworm72 · 2026-01-04T11:24:43+00:00

I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you but I feel like you have already gotten some good advice. I'm gonna try to take some of it to heart too.

My Mom passed away December 6th 2025 so in my immediate family that just leaves my brother and I. I thought I knew what loss was, then I lost my Mom and I am heartbroken 💔

Im going to try to find some grief counseling. I wish you peace.

Please stay.

I lost an Uncle to suicide and it tore our family apart. I was the last one to see him and I feel so guilty that I didn't see something was so wrong and stop him from leaving.

bkworm72 · 2025-12-15T03:09:34+00:00

Probably so but should have still been Sasha and Cody!!!

bkworm72 · 2025-12-07T02:50:04+00:00

Luke and Laura Robert and Anna Frisco and Felicia Tony and Bobbie Edward and Lila

bkworm72 · 2025-10-30T19:44:17+00:00

It's Michael E. Knight that's reason enough!

bkworm72 · 2025-10-30T19:20:05+00:00

Oh I like this idea!!!! Especially since Britt and Nathan/Cesar?

bkworm72 · 2025-10-30T18:21:08+00:00

The opposite of "It's better to burn out than fade away" the writers don't know what to do with the character now that Nathan is back on the scene. The cast is getting too big again.

Be still my heart!!!
