Can you spell H-E-A-V-E-N?

Mommy passed away on 18th January 2011 at 12.30 PM.

I'm glad I could spend my last night in the hospital next to mom.
 A priest came and gave mommy a blessing. That gave me a good feeling. 
I know mommy is in a better place. 

I still think it's so unfair. Why mommy? I love mommy alot.
Many people told me how strong I am at the moment.
My eyes are all puffy like a walnut and I totally look like a mess... 
I don't feel strong at all.

  1. :'( your mom is definitely in heaven watching over you <3
    I have never lost a loved one and cant imagine the pain you are going through but judging from your post you are a strong girl. Crying shows you are human not weakness! We live so far away from each other, if only i could give you a hug it'll be a very long one. For now *virtual hug*.
    Take care mei, the sky is beautiful and the best part is your mum is in heaven smiling back <3<3

  2. words fail me, right now. i don't know how to help or how to support. a really important family member of mine died some years ago, too. well, life goes on, but you'll never forgive the pain and the empty place of your beloved person. so you will learn, but never understand why it was your mother who had to become ill and finally die.
    you're right: life is fucking unfair! >_< but i think it was really good for you spending the last time with your mum.
    i haven't thought that time, that my beloved person would die. so i was too careless and haven't seen him the last three days before he died. i hate myself for this still today!
    keep being strong Mei!

  6. Oh Mei, I don't even know where to begin. I didn't think something this sad would occur. I kept thinking that our prayers and wishes were magic. I'm so sorry to read of what has happened. It will take time to heal, but I really hope you'll be smiling again soon.

    My heart goes out to you and your family. Take care.

    Love from Gerry ♥

  7. Mei ... I'm so sorry.
    :( I'm crying heaps right now even though I've never met your mum. I had hoped that our wishes could've somehow broken through this and gotten your mum better. But I'm really sorry.

    You're strong love. You're strong for showing your emotions. Let your tears out because your mum deserves to have her daughter cry for her <3

    I love you heaps ! And I wish there was something that I could do for you now :( You can talk to me whenever you need to xo

  11. *e-huggie* D:!!
    I found this really lovely poem on the net, with an unkown author, I hope it helps ... in a way :S

    "When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the Earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind songs, they whisper to us, "Don't miss me too much. The view is nice, and I'm doing just fine" "

  19. I'm so sorry for your loss Mei. I'm glad that the hospital allowed you to spend the last night with her so she could at least pass knowing that someone who cares deeply for her was at her side. I wish I had more comforting words to say, but to be honest I was never really good at this sorta thing. Best wishes to you and your family, I'm sure your mother is smiling down upon all of you from heaven <3

  27. I don't know you but I am so sorry to hear that your mom has left you. :( And don't worry about crying your head off-- you ARE strong for being able to continue to live after something so painful had happened. I know your life will never be the same without your precious mommy but just reliving those happy moments will have to do. <3 Take care of yourself~

  28. This ... is so horrible. I'm slowly tearing up right now and I know I don't know you that well or your mom but this is just so disheartening.
    Mei, please stay strong, even if you feel like crying. Its never wrong to cry, cry until you can't produce any tears anymore.

    That was very nice of the nurses and the hospital to allow you to sleep next to your mom ... Your mom is in a safe place now, she won't have to suffer through any pain anymore. I'm very upset about this. I hope that you and your family will be able to go through this well ... your mom's safe in heaven. Looking through your images is just so powerful. I wish I could give you a hug. I hope the best for you Mei. :(

  29. Mei,

    I don't even know how to start this off because my heart truly goes out to you and your family. I know it must be a difficult time right now but I know how incredibly brave you are. But it's also ok to shed some tears- emotions are what remind us that we are human. It's always hard to find words to try to heal a friends heart because we don't know thoroughly understand what is going on in your mind and heart but I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you, we all are. Death is a tricky and arduous one but I always think of it as the day our souls truly start to live. Instead it's a celebration of the life and legacy we live behind in the world. I'm sure your mom truly lived incredibly amazing and will continue to flourish in heaven & continue to be around you as well. Our bodies do have an end but we, our souls, never die. I know this is a sad poem by Melinda Sue Pacho but it's one that I truly believe to be true.

    Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
    I am not there; I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glints on snow.
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
    When you awaken in the morning’s hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
    I am not there. I did not die.

    She will forever be with you. That I know for sure. :) I'm sending all my love, positive vibes and a prayer over to you and your loved ones. May you guys continue to have the strength to keep on keeping on.

    With love and respect,
    R. Gratz.

  40. I'm so sorry about your loss. If it makes you feel better, your mum is in a better place. At least she got to spend her last moments with a beautiful view outside and you by her side. I haven't lost anyone close, so I can't imagine what you're going through. I hope you feel better soon.

    I have lost a few friends from childhood and the pain is indescribable. I just hope you know that even when you fine yourself on your own, you are definitely not alone.

  49. mei, im so sorry to see this, i just saw your post on how your mother fell sick. know i dont know you or your mother, and this may be only the second time commenting on your blog, but i really cant bare these life and death circumstances

    and i was really hoping to help pray and folded some cranes to hope for the good luck to occur.

    but then i saw this right after, i felt so bad!! i cringed and tears fell because i cant bare thinking of how you would feel right now. I know no words or actions can heal you at the moment. But i hope you will be strong and live on to take care of yourself. your mother must be in heavens above watching you and taking care of you. and i really do hope you will take care of yourself and your family from now on.

  50. damnit. i cried. it was so touching how you were there to comfort her.

She will always be with you.

  52. Oh my god you're so strong.
    I know how crazy I went when only my cousin 'left' . We were really close and really, he was gone over nothing. And I was so upset and so mad and so hurt ... I punched walls and things and ... idk how you do it. I just think you're very strong. This post of yours makes me think that. Maybe you was prepared or smth, but I think you are very strong. Keep it up, I think she's very proud of you. I would be.

    Sorry if my comment brings you to think back to it again. I just had to.

  53. May your mom rest in peace
