MOTHER.THE PAIN OF LOSS.Now I can say with certainty that I had never understood others suffering from unbearable loss of a dear person. For my part it used to be pity, compassion. When this happened to me, when my dear mother died, I started to understand all those people who lost someone they loved. There are perhaps no proper words to describe this pain, at least none used on this planet. This intolerable pain which tears you apart, which is like a stone on your heart, and which make tears run down your face with each recollection of the dear person who passed away. Time is unlikely to alleviate this hurt, no matter what others claim.
Every morning I still wake up thinking that she is there drinking her tea in the room, watching her favourite programs. Then suddenly the truth comes rushing up to me and I realize that it is just a dream hanging around me still, and a cold despair fall upon me. Despite my apparent tranquillity and surface brightness, I feel empty inside. My mother’s death was a really sobering experience I’ve passed through. It was the most devastating loss in my life.
The memory of my mother will follow me wherever I go, and however far tinting my dreams with a gentle scent of rosemary and the shimmering silver of her laugh. My mother had a serene charisma and a soothing aura around her. She was there to show me my first butterfly and my first rain. She was there when I made my first steps. She taught me to smile and laugh.
Moreover, my mother listened to all my fears and apprehensions with a gentle patience which can only be admired. She covered my winters of self-doubt and self-hate with such warm and tender blankets of caring love. Her eyes were so soft, wandering, and full of comprehension when they focused on other people. My mother’s greatest desire was only to cherish, protect, and lavish affection and care to her family. When I had really bad times, she washed me with her healing sympathy and distracted me with her brilliant humor.

    The older I grow, the more I realize that my mother has always done so much for me. Her love was patient and forgiving in times when I pushed her to her limits as a child. I love my mother, Hester, with all my heart. I remember as a child, being fascinated with the letter A on her bosom. When I was young I was confused about the situation between my parents. I lashed out in anger towards my mother my throwing prickly burrs at her bosom. In doing so, I added to her already thriving pain and guilt. As I grew up and moved away, my mother decided to continue to live in her tiny cottage in Massachusetts. I sent her gifts from England so she can live in luxury as well. I loved her, and she knew she would always be welcome to come live with me in England at any point throughout her life.…

    Most people hold their mothers with high regard and respect; however, at the age of ten, I concluded that my mother did not deserve my idolization nor my unconditional love. Her never-ending selfish acts placed not only her but my siblings and I into an undesirable situation, which served as a reminder of the harsh reality that surrounds my own artificial bubble.…

    Grief is a common reality of everyone’s life and almost all have to go through a phase where the loss is too big to handle. Altmaier (2011) states that, the strength of anxiety, stress and grief from a loss depends on the closeness and importance of that lost thing in the life of the person. Many researchers (Ober, et al., 2012; Howarth, 2011; Breen, 2011) have highlighted that death is one of the typical forms of complex loss that most people experienced at least once in their lives. The bereavement of loss of life can be far more devastating to an individual’s behavior and social functioning than any other type of losses. Such bereavement is common in all cultures and there can seldom be a person who is not disturbed about the…

    Grown into her own form, my mother decided mysteries weren’t enough. At 28 she met me face to face for the first time. “I cried when I looked into your eyes, yours was the first face that had ever looked like me.” Three babies after that left her with reflections all around, but by 39 she was wise enough to know mothering does not fill the void of one’s own.…

    Like everyone else, I had heard about “death”, but I had never experienced the hollow emptiness that comes with personal loss. Unbeknownst to me, my grandma, who had lived with our family since my birth and was my biggest supporter, was being slowly dragged away by sickness. She had been sick for a little while, but everyone had thought it was just a stomach virus. However, as time went on, it became clear something was wrong and she went to the doctor. There, she was diagnosed with cancer.…

    As I can still remember very clearly, it was a September morning in my first year in university that received a telegram. I opened it and read the sad news: my grandfather had died the previous day. I was totally shocked and even could not believe my eyes anymore. My whole body shivered "How can that be the truth. Someone must have teased me" I thought. I tried to calm down, took the telegram, read it over and over again with a desperate hope that I had misread it or that the post office had delivered it to the wrong address. Nevertheless, the more I read, the more my doubts were dispelled. It must be true. I did not know from what time that tears dimmed my eyes. My feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and all my strengths disappeared. A feeling of powerlessness spread out inside my body. Suddenly, all my memories poured out in my mind as if they were happening before my very eyes. I recalled learning the first English lesson with him and the good times we had gone swimming together. I considered him a great friend whom I could tell all my secrets and share all my innermost emotion with. My grandfather also showed great affection for me. He would buy me anything that I asked for. Now, could it be that I would never see him again. At that moment, I realized acutely that he was a precious treasure. It was enormously painful to think that I lost one person who understood, comforted, brought so much joy to me and more importantly, had the greatest influence on my mentality. His death changed my entire life. When had gone away, I felt extremely regretful not only because I had lost a bosom friend but also because I had never before told him how much I loved him and how meaningful he was to me. Therefore, since his death, I have taken greater…

    I was not the most agile creature as a child which became a bad pairing with my strong nature for seeking out adventure; that became clear by the time I began to walk. My mom is a strong woman for enduring all the heart attacks I’ve given her. Running away from home for a day, standing in front of a semi in the middle of the road, almost drowning in the pool, trying to jump of a cliff, and exploring the forest without anyone knowing. Life was a continual adventure for me and a continual panic attack for my mother. My mother and father completed each other in the qualities they lacked. While my mother would give me a dose of reality to bring me down from my cloud or exploration and imagination, my father would tell me of his trips to Europe and California and his missionary endeavors.…

    In a way, it seemed like your grandmother was dead for a while. She had a stroke, and was scared and confused. Her life was a mix of a horrible fantasy and a long lost reality. In this way the bubbly, loving and full of life grandmother you grew up with was gone. Once someone is dead, it is frighteningly final. It doesn’t seem real that she is no longer breathing, no longer thinking, living, or doing. She has reunited with the loved ones you have lost in the past. Living your whole life with someone, you become used to her presence. Once that is gone, you will never truly get over the fact that she is deceased.…

    Love of a Mother

    • 1062 Words
    • 5 Pages

    My earliest memory of my mother at the age of six is that of a very pretty face. For me she was the most beautiful woman alive and nothing compares with her. Even if she was unlike the celebrity mothers who wear designer clothes and do not get out to eat in fancy restaurants all the time, my mother is very real. My mother was small or petite, but she was a formidable foe if you cross her. I loved the way she combed her hair getting ready for bed, letting those dark brown locks loose and shiny against the glare of the overhead light. I loved the way she would lovingly wipe my back for perspiration after playing under the hot sun all afternoon not minding the fact that I smelled like a baseball glove worn for two seasons. On the incidents that my siblings and I cross my mother, those big brown eyes of her would squint in disapproval, mouth pursed. But I came to love that about her. When those brown eyes do start to squint, it means I have done something wrong.…
