Gone from My Sight
Discovering grief, loss, and the dying experience, presented by Barbara Karnes…

I wish SOMEONE had told me tears are beautiful before this! I have been a big cry baby all my life! Being with Angelo has helped me not cry so much. But then in 2013, we lost Angelo’s mom and 16 days later, my mother died. I am very grateful to Angelo and ALL his family because they taught me how to let go. Now, I mostly only cry for my mom. In fact, I did that yesterday. (There I go again!) But my tears are mostly tears of joy, tears that say “Mom, I am so lucky to have had you as my mother. Thank you, Mom, for all I’ve learned from you.”
Just know that if your mom is ready to go, you have to let her. We could have kept my mom (technically) alive but we knew she wouldn’t really be with us. Her body would be here, but her mind & heart wouldn’t be alive. We also know that her LOVE would ALWAYS be with us.
During the civil war in El Salvador, the people would say the names of the dead and the people would answer back “Presente!” They believe the dead are always alive in our hearts and minds. It is so true. Remember all the things you learned from your loved one & be grateful for having them in your life, for having known them & loved them & for the love they had for you . . . Mom, you always live in my heart & I think of you every time I fold clothes, every time I cook something you taught me and every time I remember one of your sayings that you probably got from your grandmother. You will never be forgotten . . .
