I'm so sorry for your loss.

As you may know, I lost my mother to esophageal cancer about two years ago. It gets easier with time ... but it never gets easy.

I had a friend post on facebook that I have now joined a club of people who have lost their mothers. That is a club I didn't need to join.

I am a member of this club as well. It's not one that I wish on others.

Losing a parent is something that puts a permanent filter on the way you look at the world. I lost my father last March. It gets...I won't say easier, but it gets to a point where your first thought each morning and the last thought each night about every third one in between aren't about your loved one.

My deepest sympathies, Dubai Sis.

Dubai Sis,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can not imagine losing a parent. My mom will be eighty in August.

For all you that lost a parent and or parents, I admire you for being strong.

Dubai Sis I joined that club in August. It's awful. Sending you a lot of love.

Both of my parents are gone and while I will say that it does get easier as time passes, it still hurts a lot! My prayers and condolences are with you!
