My mother had dementia as well so I completely understand the "pre-loss" that you mourn before they pass. ..My father died when I was just 13...so this loss meant the loss of a role as daughter and unconditional love only a parent can offer. I did end up spending the weekend at a beach house with friends,which helped tremendously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1196283 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 10:02:31 +0000 jenanded 1196283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, it doesn't get much easier in terms of missing them guess we just can concentrate on how wonderful the relationship is/was... kisses to you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1196024 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 00:22:23 +0000 Windchime 1196024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a wonderful photo of you and your mother, Tracey. I'm sorry that you are having a difficult time right now. My mom died two years ago, and just when I miss her the most, I sense her presence in another elderly lady or in nature, or she comes to me in a dream. Your mother lives on in you and your children. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195778 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:22:06 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1195778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful photo, Tracey! I'm so sorry that it is hard. I agree with Angie, time does not make the missing any less. I still have my mom, but I lost my dad 21 years ago, and I had the kind of relationship with him that you describe. There are just so many more moments I want to share with him... I hope that holding your mother's memory close will ease some of the pain, but really, it just plain hurts. I'm so sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195483 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:41:36 +0000 Karie 1195483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing this picture, Tracey, it truly is special. My own mother passed away when I was 24 yrs. old, and I cherish the pictures and memories&nbsp;I have of her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195371 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 07:03:32 +0000 Ornella 1195371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a precious photo of the two people caught in the&nbsp;moment. Thank you for sharing it with us.</p> <p>April said beautifully what I thought.</p> <p>Sometimes I see woman on the street who reminds me of my mum and I think "this is what my mum would look like if she lived to be&nbsp;older". Same soft skin, same ginger hair, even the similar hairstyles.&nbsp;I then feel closer to her, as if she's somehow reminding me "'I'm here, around you, in you".&nbsp;</p> <p>I saw such lady on the bust stop last night, with her grown up&nbsp;daughter who was holding her little boy, the mother was touching the daughter. The daughter, although a mother herself now, was still on the receiving end of her own mother's touch. Someone's child too.&nbsp;I will&nbsp;never have that again. It makes me sad. I loved when my mum hugged me.&nbsp;But, I will have the knowledge of how my mum lived her life, which is the best thing she left me.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195230 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 02:13:46 +0000 Sveta 1195230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely picture and a sweet message, Tracey. Nothing is more magical and priceless&nbsp;than mother - daughter relationship.<br />Your post made me want to go and hug my mom extra time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195115 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:12:07 +0000 Angie 1195115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really&nbsp;hard losing a parent you were close to. (((HUGS))). Time does not heal - it's been almost 14 years since my Mama passed away - but holding onto memories like this is priceless. Celebrate her life and&nbsp;your fondness for her, Tracey. Your Mama's soul is alive in you forever.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love that '70s photo. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1195051 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 22:32:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1195051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely photo&nbsp;Tracey. I agree with Gaylene at least we have great memories too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194783 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:45:30 +0000 April 1194783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Tracey. &nbsp;Your post made&nbsp;me&nbsp;hope my son feels that he and I&nbsp;have the kind of relationship you had with your mom. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194755 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:18:44 +0000 rachylou 1194755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great picture of you and your mom together.

I remember reading some of your earlier blog posts about your mom, and it's so nice to see this picture to go along with your words. Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194747 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:05:57 +0000 Gaylene 1194747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, I just lost my mother a month ago, although, in reality, the actual loss was much earlier because of dementia. She was such a witty and wise conversationalist, which made the decline even more poignant. </p> <p>Your picture brought back so many good memories of the times we shared before her illness. I think missing our moms like this makes us rather lucky because not every mother and daughter feels this sense of closeness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194722 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:49:22 +0000 Janet 1194722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, I understand. I lost my mom around the same time you did (5 years ago in November). I still miss her. She's been on my mind a lot lately -- that happens every spring, with the promise of brighter days and gardens starting to come to life. She loved gardening and flowers, so it's a sweet memory but a little sad too. </p> <p>I'm glad you have such good memories of her. She sounds like a really special person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194714 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:41:15 +0000 LACeleste 1194714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really wonderful photo Tracey. &nbsp;You can see the contentment and connection between you.</p> <p>&nbsp;I am sorry you are missing your Mom. &nbsp; I lost my Mom almost 6 years ago and I really understand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194710 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:37:13 +0000 viva 1194710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a sweet post and picture. I'm feeling a lot of this lately although my mother is still living, but she has dementia so our relationship has changed considerably in the last two years. I try to focus on appreciating how wonderful she still is, but I so miss the conversations we used to have. In that way, I can empathize. xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194699 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:17:36 +0000 Suz 1194699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey...what a sweet and sad message, and what a lovely picture of the two of you. How lucky you were, to have her in your life. I know you've played the same role for your own children.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-years#post-1194677 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:59:10 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1194677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been five years since my mother's passing and I am so missing our conversations... She was the most intelligent, well read person I've ever met. &nbsp;We talked about EVERYTHING! &nbsp;</p> <p>A picture from teen years shows that relationship perfectly...We were just doing our thing when a photographer family friend caught this... </p>
