(4,571 posts)139. Your mother will always be part of your life.
My mother died many years ago. One day, while I was fixing a quick lunch for myself, a memory of her smile drifted into my mind. Silently, I wondered what she might be experiencing these days. Suddenly, I heard her voice in my mind: "Well, right now, I am fixing a peanut butter sandwich for my daughter." I looked down at my hands working on my sandwich, and suddenly realized that I had watched my mother's hands doing that, many times. And my mother taught me to do so many of the things I do every day, so she really is still with me. And your memories of your mother will comfort you, more and more!
