Closure…
As a good friend told me this morning, I feel this weekend will be about closure for me.
Got mom’s ashes last nite. I tell you that hit me like a ton of bricks even though I knew they were coming.
I was just sick and then got that “empty hole” feeling. So I binged, but at least is was healthy, peanut butter, whole grain bread, banana, honey, then more peanut butter later on graham crackers. I wanted poptarts, but told myself NO.
Ok, so no work out either, and no crunches last nite. I am gonna go to a friend’s house tonite and do some light yoga, and my crunches, too.
So Holly and I will take mom up to the cemetery tomorrow to be placed with dad. I will not be here tomorrow. They gave me the day off, I need it. I wil lbe here sometime over the wekeend, but mom’s memorial is Saturday nite.
Oh, please for the weigh in send your results to Anj, or Wildcat.
Love you guys, just pray for me ok?
Hang in there Kama!
We’ll get you through this weekend, even if we have to drag you kicking an screaming! Glad Holly’s going to be here to go with you to put mom with dad. That should be a big huge help!
((((((((Kama)))))))
Im sitting in the libary at school in tears between you and Nancy. I have got to say since knowing you and your stories I have really began to mature and realize my family is my world, not my job or friends. I want to thank you for giving me that clarity and letting me realize how important it is to be a family.
I’m glad you got a needed day off you hang in there.
Your little binge food you ate sounds pretty yummy actually love p.b. and bananas together yummy :o)
I tried yoga today I had to stop and switch to palatis yoga was to hard lol so props to you for getting out there and doing it.
Take care of yourself. Try to take a little “me” time to gather your thoughts.
Kama, I got your back girl ! Enjoy that yoga tonight ! Also I hope everything goes well tomorrow and Saturday ! Hugs, Kimmi
Sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers, my friend!
Biggest HUGS Ever!
tears streaming down my face as I read this blog and remember that day less than 3 years ago that my 2 brothers and I brought mom’s ashes home. It was one of those things we hadn’t prepared for. We were all holding up so well but on that day the man at the funeral home handed the box to my younger brother…he looked sick to his stomach and our older brother stepped up and took it. Then we went out to our vehicles and just stood in the parking lot and cried. I kept wondering, “How could the woman who taught us everything she knew and gave us everything she could be contained in this box?” I felt that empty hole you referred to. The pain will never go away, but rest assured it will get better and more bearable. My thoughts are with you.
I am sending you my sincerest condolences. So sorry about your mother. Take care dear.

Kama as I’ve been talking w/my friend who just lost her mom on Sunday I have been reminded of you and all you’ve gone through over the past few months. You are so incredibly strong, and you have been such an inspiration. I have always been close to my mom, but because of you and my friend, I make sure she knows how much I love her every day, because I truly don’t know how long I have with her. Praying for you and thinking of you! Love you!
I will definitely say a prayer for you Kama. I’m glad that they gave u the day off. You need some time to yourself. Please stay strong & know that you will be on our minds this weekend. ((BIG hug))
