    hey all i am 18 years old and on December 20th 2006 at 12.19 p.m. i lost my mom. she was a survivor of breast cancer before but this time it came back she was unable to beat it. it killed me to lose her and i feel so lost without her. in 1969 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and beat the odds. she went into remission but relapse in 1999 but beat the odds once again. unfortunately it came back in the summer of 2006 and on Christmas eve i had to put my mom in the ground her battle made me a lot stronger she never gave up on fighting and was strong till the very end. i know she is the person that i want to be.

    A Mom is such a special loss (a Dad too!) especially for one journeying the path of breast cancer. There's a tug at our hearts, which at times is too strong, and you just gather yourself alone for a few minutes and breath.



    Mom's are great friends, awesome givers and sharers, bubbles of laughter, and wise on life and even life with cancer.



    I'm so sorry for both of you fine ladies. I mourn too, my Mom's loss.



    For those who have there Mom, take time now to be with them, life is short.

    I too am 18 and just recently (Sept 28, 07) lost my mom to breast cancer. It has been the hardest time of my life. She was diagnosed in February of my junior year of high school with this devistating disease. My Mom, family and I fought the battle for about 20 months- the hardest 20 months of our lives. These last 3 weeks have been absolutely horrible. I miss her so much. I just started college in august about 300 miles from home. There have been so many times when I just want to get on the phone and talk to her. It is just not fair...

    James, I am so sorry for your loss of your Mom, especially at such a young age.  (My bro's name is James)  I remember all the times i picked up the phone to call mine after she passed--just to tell her little things, and then had to put down the phone.  I'm sure with all the new things at college, good and bad, you really miss being able to tell her about them.  I hope you have your dad to call and tell him about them.  Some times an aunt will be helpful, too.

    But I know about mom's , my son always calls me, not his dad.  I really know how you feel.  I'm SO, SO sorry, James.  I agree, it's so not fair.

    Wraping you in a long warm hug.

    James,  Loosing a loved one is difficult, especially a mother.  I lost my mom to lung cancer years ago and I still miss her.  It never goes away.  Time eases the hurt and the good memories are always there to comfort you.  When you are sad, just reach for a memory.

    My best wishes and a big hug to help you through.
