No matter howmuch times a mother says" it's ok" you'll always feel that few steps behind in being sorry and apologetic. It's called deep family conscience. You never get over it really. even worst when they are no longer here. Strength and blessings 🙏

Proof positive that tears are no weakness.. they're the source of strength.

@bafflezbiz 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, anyone who thinks of tears as a weakness is still but a child, holding on to bitter memories of a bruised knee while the other children point and laugh. The tears of an adult, however, require great courage- as one reveals what is most vulnerable in the face of fear and judgement. No easy feat; and _indeed_ a symbol of great strength.

Men who can cry are less likely getting a heart attack; true fact! That's why women have less heart attacks, because women cry more. Men, please cry, it is healthy. Tears of saddness and tears of joy, both!

@Here4TheMusic765 2 жыл бұрын

Tears aren't weakness but sometimes I think people just want to get through to the other side without breaking down. Once those tears start, its hard to cut off the faucet. I didnt cry at my mother's funeral because I needed to make sure my mommy was squared away in her resting place. A woman told me that it would be time for tears later but you have to take care of business 1st. I took that to heart but I wasn't prepared for the 20 years of the "later" and STILL shedding tears. A mother is a heavy hitter to the heart and no matter what, losing her will always be an unmatched pain that exists to this day. Prayers to the Washington family. So many people definitely feel this pain. Prayers to all who have lost a loved one.

Lost my mom near ten years ago, she was 65, was with her as she passed, I was 32. Lost my dad when he was 50, and I was 5. The older I get the more I realize how young they were when cancer got them. Dad never got to see his kids grow up. Mom only got to see a 1 or 2 of her grandchildren. The pain of loss gets easier to deal with over time, but it never, ever goes away.

@lisalafayette 2 жыл бұрын

I reached for my 'Puffs' box also. My Mother passed away in 2008; holidays, birthdays, family reunions, etc. have never been the same. Yeah, I know life must go on; and it has. But the truth is I just try to deal with the pain of her loss, day to day and year to year. The pain *never* goes away but the memories of the many beautiful, lovely days I had with her make it a little easier to deal with. The real truth is you never get over it; you just learn to deal with it from day to day.

I didn’t cry at my mother’s funeral either, because she was 86, paralyzed, and ready to go. The day of her death I felt a soft Spring breeze flutter around me and off into the trees. I knew she was happy to be free. I ache for me sometimes because I miss her.

Yes!!! Denzel Washington is so real. I didn't cry at my dad's funeral, to my surprise. I was able to read a tribute to him and everything. I never cried even though I had a ton of emotions. I went two years of missing his voice, and I came across a Google memories alert 2 weeks ago and there was my dad's voice. A voice I have longed to hear since Sept '19. That's when I cried and they were such beautiful, healing tears.

Just lost my mother this past august. She was only 52…. Died of an illness she had & fought with for 10 years. There isn’t a day she’s been gone that I don’t think of her, that I don’t miss her, that I don’t get a random flashback of a moment between us. It hurts. There’s ni other pain like it. I feel his pain here.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Father when he was 53 to pancreatic cancer. He was only diagnosed 2 months prior. It has been 12 years almost and I still have days where I don't believe it happened. I pray you have peace in your heart, mind and spirit. ♥️

Denzel looks like he is really going through some stuff right now. I do know that sometimes if you don't grieve (cry, scream etc.) when it first happens your pent up emotions come out at the most inopportune times. I wish him well and hope he heals. It can be creepy the first time you realize you're no longer "someone's child". Even though you are an independent adult that empty space is shocking.

I totally agree. I remember grieving the same way. My mom and I were very close. I didn't cry at her funeral either but every time since then when I see a man get emotional about losing his mother, it gets to me.

I had a co-worker ask me if I had mothers day planned. I looked at him and asked, "Why?" "You have a mother," he said. "No, sir," I said, "I don't." He didn't dare speak to me for the rest of the week.

@@michaelfinlay6341 sadly adults who are fortunate enough to still have a parent don't understand the sadness that we go through every time we're reminded that they're gone. Mother's Day is widely celebrated but it can be extremely sad and a triggering moment of grief for "Motherless Children" regardless of age.

@@reggiearmstrong6417 if and when it happens to you again just know you are not alone. It happens and it's important to let it out. I have a family member who never grieved over the death of his sister. To this day he's become a bitter hermit because he can't allow himself to grieve. He is too concerned about "keeping his emotions in check".

My Mother passed away in 2008. A couple of years ago I was in my storage closet looking for holiday decorations. I pulled out a box of 'garland' and 'bells.' One of those bells was a bell I bought for my Mother years before she passed. The bell had the words 'Mom, I Love You'........I sat there in that closet and cried like a baby. 😢 So yes, as you stated, "you never know when it'll hit you from day to day..."
