Last Fight

its been 6 years my mothers been gone reading this poem brought back a lot .. she was 52 died from breast cancer .. I'm sorry for your lose just know you're not alone .. and cry all the time but remember your laughs, it helps for me.

I lost my mum on 17th Dec 2010. It is still so raw and hard, she's never out my thoughts and this poem I can relate to.... It all. I miss my Mum so much, I feel as time goes on the harder it gets I'm sure it must ease, eventually x

My mom died just Over 5 months ago due to complications after having a brain tumor removed. There's not a day that I don't think about her. This poem fit exactly. I miss her so much. I would give anything to see her one more time.

My mom died over a year age. She was 57. She had a brain tumor that she fight for 7 years. So I can relate. There's not a day that I don't think of her. I would do anything to have one more day with her. I miss her so much.

I lost my mom coming up on 1 year ago on Dec. 27th. She had been ill for 3 years. Knowing the day would come but never thought it would be 6 weeks after my father's death. His death was very unexpected and had no time to mourn. I buried my father on my brother's 3rd anniversary of his death. Now I'm all alone and hurt everyday and wish I had one more day with both.

I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. Our stories are very much alike. My mom also went in the hospital with pain. She went into surgery but never woke up again. After two weeks on the intensive care she died. I never got to say goodbye and I miss her so much. It feels like I'm totally empty inside.
4 years ago a lost my father and sister. they both died of cancer. I'm only 19 years old and lost 3 family members in 4 years. Life's hard and cruel!

I lost my mom.. tomorrow will be a month. I can't believe time went by so fast. It's so hard not having her here be with me. I'm 17 years old and I have to do so much. School is a blur and I take on so much responsibility it drives me crazy. Before I got home from school she was taken away and loss consciousness. It wasn't foreseen and that's why its a bit more painful. I had no idea that day I would not see her when I got back. When they pulled the plug I refused for her hand to go cold in mine so I held on as long as I could. I miss her so much and have her in my heart forever. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that she isn't in my mind. This poem is telling everything I am feeling. Thank you for writing this, it eases the pain and gives me strength.

My mother was rushed this morning to ICU after having bowel surgery two weeks ago. Although she is 82 years old and I am 52 years old with 5 kids, she was my world. She was my right arm. I tried to please her but sometimes I felt it wasn't enough. I never worried about family, kids, because she was always behind me. I feel guilty because I never told her enough about how much I loved her. I was often preoccupied with work, kids activities, household chores. She would get angry with me telling me I never spent enough time with her. I always thought there would be tomorrow. How do I go forward, I feel so empty.

My mother died the exact same way, about two years ago now and I'm still not over it because a mother is your best friend, it really hurt seeing her like that, but I could not change the past, this poem really touched my heart and it felt like someone understood what I'm still dealing with.

Thank You for your words. I lost my mom 6 months ago, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. She passed away in the hospital and no one from the family was with her, we are all mad at ourselves for not being there. She passed with respitory distress. I still think if she didn't have the DNR she might still be here with us. My mom was a fighter, very strong women. Though she has been quite sick for 6 years I still feel in my heart that she didn't want to let go.
I miss her so so much and would do anything to have one more day with her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom Last year in August, its the hardest thing ever. I can relate to this poem so much. The pain never heals its seems like it gets worse..

My boyfriend of 3 years lost his mother a little while ago and being with him through it all was so hard because I'm sure you can agree that you just don't want people talking to you, and you want to be alone all the time..but I stayed with him through it all and she was a wonderful women. I'm so sorry for each of your losses and I hope as time goes on your pain starts to ease just a little <3

Every day I spend with my mom I know it could be our last together. After believing she was in remission with lung cancer , found out 3 months ago it had spread to her brain. Though radiation did halt the tumor growth and buy us some time, I (she doesn't know) was told 4 weeks ago, she only had a few weeks to live at most. She has declined gradually everyday, now at the point she is losing her ability to do much for herself. Her mind is wandering from reality more and more, I wonder if that may be best for her but I miss her already and sometimes try to bring her back by talking to her. I pray everyday God helps me to help her to the best of my ability and to cherish our time together. My heart goes out to all on this website. God Bless, Stephanie Blackwell

Thank you for you beautiful poem. I lost my mother eight years ago this August and my Grandmother nine years ago this October, I miss them with all my heart. It was a very difficult time and sometimes still is. Ten months and one day earlier my Grandmother died I couldn't even really mourn her because I was worried about my Mom because her health was declining. I was very close to my Grandmother I was her care taker since I was 17. Shortly after my Grandmothers death my Mother and little brother moved in with me. I then became my Mothers care taker. At 23 I was the one dealing with the doctors and knowing which med she had to take she was taking about 15 pills in the morning, 15 pills in the afternoon, 25 pills in the evening, and injections and pain patches. Thank you again for your poem it helps this time of year.

My mum died 9 years ago today. reading this poem has brought back so many memories of the whole thing. She died from Cancer. After a year of Treatment which prolonged her life for nearly a year but she lost her battle so suddenly. We Never got to say goodbye. They say it gets better with time but I don't think it does, you just have to get on with it ! not a day goes past when something happens that you want to tell your mum about!

This poem has brought tears to my eyes Well done.! Thank you x

This made me cry with many tears, for my Mother passed away on Sept. 11, 2004 of Cancer, and this poem will forever remind me of what she and I went through. She was and forever will be that Special Angel that raised me right and now she's gone but, never forgotten she is always inside my Heart, For only a Mother's love will last forever in her Son's Heart. This poem lets the pain get easier day by day. Thank you for the very Special words that will live forever in my Heart.

My name is Amanda I just lost my mom a few days ago on the 6th of June. I am lost without her I barely have the strength to crawl out of bed. It hurts so bad she went through a lot in the hospital and I watched everything till the end I felt helpless and it all happened so fast. I don't know what I am to do with out my mommy. I miss her so much even know it has only been 2 days. The funeral is tomorrow and I am not ready for this. I dread tomorrow for I know it will hurt the most laying her to rest.

My mum died 4 weeks ago, unexpectedly aged 58 on her holiday, she had a stroke, I seriously don't know how I'm coping she was my best friend. I miss her every second of every day. I just hope she knew I was with her at the end xx RIP mum

I lost my mom yesterday, she was taken from us by cancer. I loved your poem, it was exactly how I feel .
thank you

I lost my mom more than a year as of today. It’s very painful to me. She suffers from her illness for more than a year. My eyes witness how much she suffers. It’s hard to see my mom in pain. I was in college when her illness strikes. I pray a lot, I go to different church and pray novenas for my mom. I’m consistent deans listed during that time, but when that happens I’m not anymore but I really don’t mind. My mom is more important than that. My mom is my life. I want the rest of my life with her. Even that thing happened I still graduated cum laude and my mom is proud of me. She’s planning to have a blowout party for me even though she is in her illness. I’m thankful because I graduated as cum laude even though I didn’t expect it anymore, I’ll be more happy if my mom recover from her illness. I promise myself that I will not accept a job until my mom gets fine. I will be always on her side to take care of her. The sad thing is she died one week after my graduation. I’m turning 21 when she died. When she was sick I keep reminding her that I will never give up on her and she says the same way too. She promises that she will fight because she still want to live with us, But God taken her away from us, even though we know how much she want to stay. I miss her so much. Her death feels like it’s just happened yesterday. I always watch her video and look her pictures. I made compilation of her photo. I also made a blog for her. I wrote her a letter every important occasion of her life. No days in my life that my mom is not in my mind and in my heart.

Reading this poem made my heart just fall apart thinking of my mum, I'm 14 now & my mum died 2 years ago & I have kept it all bottled up until I read this, she died of cancer & I never got to say goodbye so thank you for writing this.

I lost Mom August 7th 4 years ago. I got to spend time with her at the hospital the day she past. The day before, Dr. told me she only had a few months at best. That was really hard to here. I called and ask if she wanted anything when I came up at lunch. She did. A vanilla milk shake & French fries. I brushed her hair, rubbed lotion & massaged her back. She loved it. She mentioned she didn't get her coffee, which she had EVERY day. I ask the nurse and she said of course. I'll make her a fresh pot, she can have anything she wants. I stayed till 2:30. My Mom always said she didn't want to be a burden, (she most certainly wasn't) said she didn't want us to see her if she was really bad. God answered her prayers. I lost her at 4:20 that day. 6 months later. I lost Dad. It's been tough. Memories hold me together. I write poems too. Your Poem, I just love. Thanks & God Bless!

I lost my mother on December 11-2011, my mother had went into the hospital to have some test done to her. And it didn't go well, so she came home and then the next week she was gone just passed and I had just been over there cleaning up for her me and my husband. It was the hardest day of my life the little girl came out of me the pain the hurt the lost. And knowing that I will never see her or hear her voice calling me. So reading this poem help me because knowing that you can love someone so much is a blessing from God, and I am so thankful that my mother gave me words of wisdom, and love. Now I still have my Dad, and I am so thankful that he loved my mother the way he did and still do. I told my mother that I would look after him and I am a women of my word just like she was. My mother my friend my world my forever she is always here in my heart forever forever, always always.

I lost my Mom December 28/10. It was a Tuesday evening when my brother called me and told me that he has just received a phone call from our Dad. I questioned him and said you are playing one of your jokes? He said why would I do that. And I could feel it in his voice and my heart just sunk into my chest, I knew it was true, but I still did not want to believe it. She was 80 years when she passed. She developed Asthma 2 years ago and was using puffers. On that fatal day, she suffered an asthma attacked and was taken to the hospital. According to the doctors and my Dad, they did everything possible to survived her, but she could not pull through. I was angry and questioned myself what could I have done as a daughter from a distance. My parents came to visit us in Toronto a year ago before her passing. I consoled myself upon hearing from so many people during her funeral, how I took care of her when they visited Toronto. My Mom is forever in my heart and I know she loves as much as I love her. I know she is resting in Eternity.

Thank you!

I lost my mom to cancer 4 years ago tomorrow to be exact.
If I knew how to write so eloquently like you, our words would have been so similar. Your words were so touching I had to share them on her 4th anniversary with my family. I felt as if your were writing my story and describing my pain every step of the way from her last days until now. I guess loss & pain is a universal language that we all speak and understand.

I pray that God shower all our mothers' soles with mercy & blessings and grant us patience to deal with their loss.

I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. Our stories are very much alike. My mom also went in the hospital with pain. She went into surgery but never woke up again. After two weeks on the intensive care she died. I never got to say goodbye and I miss her so much. It feels like I'm totally empty inside.

This is also what I experienced on 7th September 2012. She went to hospital for a surgery on her leg after 3 months she came home in a coffin.

I am 22 years old and I lost my Mommy 6 years ago to Breast Cancer. I didn't realize back then how much her passing would effect me, but it did, it does and it always will. At 16 I didn't realize I was still a baby, I was a sophomore in high school...a baby. No one wants to lose their mother at such a young age and no one deserves to. I HATE to see others lose their Mother, it hurts me because I know how they feel, I don't want anyone to go through that feeling. It hurts even more now and it's so hard to accept that I'll never have a mother in my life. I graduate from college in 2 months and she won't be there :( she missed my first day of college, my prom, my high school graduation, all my boy secrets, my friend drama. I wasn't able to share none of that with her....and it hurts...I wish my mother could still be here she would be my best friend....I miss you Mommy!!!! <3

That was beautiful I lost my mom 3 years ago October 14 of cancer. I didn't get to say good bye to her. It is so hard to lose a love one I also lost my dad when I was 9 years old and I am 28 years old now with 3 beautiful children that I wish he was able to meet. I also wish my mom was able to see them grow. I miss and love them so much rip mom and dad.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful and very touching poem about your mom. In 3 minutes it will mark 2 years ago that my mom lost her battle with cancer. I thought the first year was going to be the hardest..but I was numb and this 2nd year has been the hardest for me. It was so hard to watch her slowly fade away. The doctors gave her one year and she made it for 3 years. She fought the battle. I was so blessed to get to know her not only as mother, but a woman and my best friend. How grateful and blessed I feel to have had that kind of relationship before she passed on. I still have her number on my cell phone and a voice message she left shortly before her passing. When I listen to it I feel close to her. I never imagined just how much losing her would have affected me. I am still grieving and wondering when the grieving and mourning will end. I've been told it never will. I have to learn to accept it and let go. I have beautiful memories I will cherish for eternity. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost their moms. May God bless!

My mom was my inspiration, my courage, my strength. She was the reason I went back to school to get my MBA degree. However, in the middle of the program, I lost my mom to bowel obstruction surgery. That was nine months ago and not a day has gone by that I don’t think about her. The last nine months, the thought of quitting my MBA program has crossed my mind many times but I kept remember the promise I made with mom. I have my up and down. One day I was doing well and the next day, I was falling apart. My grades certainly show it. As her youngest child and her only daughter, I took care of her medical and financial needs. I often pondered if I put a little pressure on the doctor to do more testing, will mom still be here with me? Only God knows. From the day I was born, it was me and my mom together. Mom had so much love to give. She never abandoned me or my siblings even when she had no strength or energy. She had to endure an abusive marriage and even on my mom’s breath, my father show how little that he cares about her. Two nights before mom passed, I told mom how much I love her and she told me she loves me too. That conversation will forever be in my heart. I miss my mom every day and if I could, I will do anything to have her here with me.

I want to thank the person who wrote this lovely poem it has helped me make my mums eulogy. My mother passed away a few days ago and I miss her sorely she was the apple of my eye and now she is my angel in the sky I would do anything for her to be with me again. She was given a few hours to live and I tried everything. I left to go get a close family member and when I got back she was struggling to breath. I was rushed through to see my mum who was just about to die and once I held her hand and told her I was there she passed away. So I know that my mum waited for me to arrive back before she left me and it is so close to Christmas. Take care and I hope this gives more people the security as it has me. Thank you so much.

This poem describes how I feel at the moment. My mom in-law died 24 December so unexpectedly and I will miss her dearly . Tomorrow 26 December my mom died 30 years ago. To me it seems like yesterday .I fear that this time, will, in future be a very sad time for me.

I lost my mother four years ago she died in my arms while I was pregnant and everyday I think it would get better but it doesn't. I cry everytime I think of her I can barely think straight now. I have my four year old son that always ask why I'm so sad it hurts my soul that he would never meet her. Some days I don't want to get of bed because I feel so sick. This poem touched my heart so THANK YOU

I can see this wonderful poem resonates so much with so many people whose hearts are breaking. I lost my mum just five months ago and very similar circumstances where she went in for a checkup and a few days later we lost my angel. It was just as frustrating because I didn't get to say goodbye and I am totally broken and I miss her so much every day it's painful and it's getting far more painful. Lorna your poem really has struck a chord with so many people as you can see and thank you for doing that. I find some comfort in seeing that I am not alone in my desolate misery. My mum was my soulmate and my confidant and my best friend and I saw her all the time and I just cannot comprehend that I won't see her again and I can't hug her or tell her how much I love her : it is just so painful. I wish everybody much strength and faith to get through this. Every day we learn to cope a little more and our mums would be so proud of us all: lets not forget that. Sarah in Brighton, UK

My mom passed away from cancer March 3, 2012, just 16 days shy of her 74 birthday. My wife and I celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day yesterday which was my mom's Favorite holiday. There isn't a day that goes by that I don’t think about her and the pain she went through fighting throat cancer, then lung cancer, and all the radiation and chemo treatments, and finally succumbing to liver cancer after being given 2 weeks to live. The pain of watching my mom pass away a little at a time over 2 weeks to the day is sometimes unbearable. The only thing that gets me thru is trying to think positive, and to tell myself she is in a better place now. Thank you for writing this poem because now I know I’m not the only adult who misses and grieves their mom after 2 years of their passing.
