Didn't properly "MOURN" my Mother...

[Stephanie's Mom]

When my Mother was diagnosed w/ cancer, we thought she had a fighting chance. Well, she did until..? The day our daughter, Stephanie passed away on (10/11/06) After that "TRAGGIC" day, my Mother's health took a turn for the WORSE & she lost her battle w/ cancer on, March 9th 2007. That was five months after we lost our Steph. Two funerals with in 5 months of each other?! I DAMN near had a nervous BREAKDOWN!! It should've been the happiest time of our lives... We had just purchased our 1st home & had welcomed the newest addition to the family. Isabella Jo was only 9 months old when her Big Sister passed & just over 1yr when she lost her Grandma Clara. I never properly mourned my Mother, Stephanie's DEATH had just CONSUMED me! It's been 3yrs & only now am I able to share my story OR even talk about it. The DEPRESSION was so BAD, I was @ a loss. I still struggle but..? The LOVE I have for my family & w/ LOTS & LOTS of therapy, the healing process has begun. I owe it to them, my husband(Angel) son(Daniel,17) & Isabella(almost 4) Enjoy & appreciate your LOVED ones, cause you just NEVER know when that day will come. Sincerely, Lydia(Stephanie's Mom) "I write this in Loving Memory of my Mother & Daughter, may they R.I.P."
