One More Day

I am 16 years old. When I was 4 years old my mom died from different kinds of diseases. We never found out what kind of diseases killed her. We went to see the doctor, but they didn't find out what was wrong with her. She was pregnant. When she gave birth to my little brother, she died a few days later. She was a very kind and friendly person, and it changed my whole life when she died. After a year, my dad remarried, and I got a stepmother who tried to kill me. She hated me almost all the time because I am not her daughter. I tried to stay away from her, but sometimes she hurt me so badly and I thought that the better idea for me was to kill myself. Now here I am, I am still alive. I miss my mom all the time. I wish I could see her in my dream. I hope I can put a stair between me and her so we can cross to see each other. She passed away so many years ago, but I am still thinking about her. My heart is still waiting for her, and I will never let her go.

I am 14 years old and it's been 12 years since my mom passed away. I don't know why, but I never seem to get over these days though I can't clearly remember her face. She passed away when I was 2 years old. I don't know why, but every time I think of those moments, I hate myself for being too young. All I want is to just spend one more day, just one, with her. No matter how hard I try to forget, she always comes back to me. I may not have known her for long, or even know her, but I will always miss her. I have an illness and it's spreading. I don't know how much longer I can live more. 12 years ago today, my little brother who is 3 months old passed away together with her. And it hit me hard. All my family members were gone except my dad and sister. Though I am not alone, my heart feels heavy, and sometimes it's hard to carry it around. I have to pretend like I an okay all the time. This poem really reaches out to me and how I feel. I miss her so much, and I cry all the time at night.

Your poem brought tears to my eyes. I feel for you, my friend. It's been 6 years already since I lost my mother, and not a day passes without me thinking about her. The sight of her in that hospital bed...it will forever haunt me. She was so brave and kind as I'm sure yours was. We can only hope they exist still, somewhere in peace and when our time inevitably comes, we will be together with them once more. Pain is my sanctuary after so many years of suffering, but I hope time has been gentle for you and what shall remain will be the happiness she brought you and the joyous memories of you together. Be well, my friend!

Where I live, Mother's Day is March 11. I lost my day mother on Valentine's Day in 2012. She was almost 60. If I could have written a poem, this is what I would have said. Thank you to who wrote it. A death of a mother is never truly accepted. The pain you feel is like no other. Thinking of everyone today who has lost a mother, grandmother, sister, or auntie. God bless you all.

My mother passed away 5 years ago, and every day it seems like she just passed. I miss her so much. She passed suddenly, so I did not get to say goodbye or tell her I loved her. The poem called One More Day really resonated with me. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their mother!

I lost my mother when I was in 12th grade. I can't forget that date...7/14/16. I can't explain what I'm feeling now without her, but my life is like hell.

This poem is really touching. I can feel the pain about losing someone that really meant a lot to us.

My mom left us on May 14, 2017...Mother's Day. I was holding her hands when she left. I can never forget that moment when I was so helpless that I had to see her go. I was with her for four months in the hospital, and even though I knew what the disease was, I was never ready to believe she would leave us. I never told her how much I loved her, even though I know that she somehow knew how much I loved her. In the hospital she told me to be strong and not to be scared of anything. Oh Mom, how much I miss you and how much you loved me. Every day when I come home from the office I wait for your call. I miss how you used to make me promise not to skip dinner.

I wish I could give her a tight hug and never leave her. She was very strong, bearing such painful treatments during chemo. My life will never be the same. Mom, I miss you very much. I will try to be the best daughter in the world. I'm waiting to meet you again, Mom...
Love you, Mom!

I can't believe she has left me. Next week will be 4 years my mom left me on September 9. I so hate this month. She was my everything, my quarrel partner, my confidence. Her death is still a nightmare to me. I wish I could turn back the hands of time to tell her how much I miss her. I want to hear that pretty voice of hers and see that beautiful smile. Oh Mom, I wish you never left my side.

If I could just hold her hand, if I could only smell her skin, if I could only touch her hair, if I could...
Oh my, Mom, how much I miss you. I wish I could be with you. Life isn't the same without you. Love doesn't describe the right word, my mom. You are my everything, my world, my breath. You are the reason of my existence. Take me to wherever you are. Your absence is killing me. My eyes are always looking for you, my ears are searching your voice ... Oh Mom, I know you can't come back, but you can take me with you. I will be always waiting for you. Happiness doesn't exist anymore without you. You were the only happiness in my life. My heart is bleeding. Take me with you.

I guess we all feel the same pain. One more day would be wonderful. I would just place my head on her chest and listen to her voice and her heartbeat and feel safe. Thank you.

I love my mother. She died on December 10, 2010. At that time I was a 3 year old kid. Suddenly she attempted suicide and was dead. Now I am lost without her love. I love my mother.

I lost my mother 6 months ago and the pain in my heart is so unrelenting. I miss her every single minute, but I'm thankful for the years I had with her.

It's been 29 days since I lost my rock (mom). Sadness fills my heart. She's the only person I've ever known to be a strong, hard working woman who had very little but gave us the world. Never thought I would lose her so early in life. What hurts me the most are memories of her laying down on that hospital bed with pain written on her face. Her body told the story of how she was suffering :( how can God let such a loving soul suffer so much? Are her good deeds not seen in heaven? Questions that ran through my mind. "We love you. I don't want you to worry about your son. I will not fail to take care of him. You have done everything in your power to take care of us. You are our hero and will always be. I want you to know that I appreciate your hard work." These words I whispered in her ear. I hope she heard them even though she couldn't speak anymore. When I got a call that morning telling me she had passed on, a part of me died. I am still breathing, but feel like I am dying every day. Thanks for being such a blessing.

The poem, "One More Day," summed up how I have felt since my mom died. I have carried a lot of guilt for not listening to her and soaking up her love. I lost her when I was 16 and wasn't given the chance to see her as just a woman trying her best. I'm now 47 and after a lot of avoidance am finally really dealing with the pain. Her love is all that is keeping me going now. Bless all of you that have also experience the loss of your mother.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their mother. May the dear Lord grant them peace and happiness, and this poem has been very inspiring to me also.

The comments of the readers made me cry ... because my mother is still alive and I can't think of that day to come in my life .... May God bless the souls of all mothers who have departed.

Be strong....

I lost my mom 3 weeks ago. She was the only parent I had and she was way too young. I miss her more and more each day.

6 weeks ago today, the Lord called my Mom home. She was 88 and in great health till a slight fall changed her forever and 5 months later took her life. I am truly blessed at the age of 52 to say that Mom was my best friend. The bond we share is unbreakable even through death... " death ends a life, not a relationship". I grieve for her daily, to say I miss her with all my heart is an understatement. I am so incredibly blessed to have been brought up in a Christian home by parent's who loved each other unconditionally. Dad is 96 and in good health, his strength keeps me going. Oh how he misses her too. At 96, each day at lunch and dinner he writes on his paper placemat " Burt + Jane". I've been told how unique our relationship was by so many. My heart is so shattered and the tears flow daily. I just truly miss her touch, her laugh and most of all her just always being there when I needed her. She's in heaven I know for sure but I MISS her more each day. MOM I ?? You ALWAYS, 4/24/16

This really touched my heart. I have been put down because there is not a day I don't break down and cry for my Mom. She passed away at the end of last May 2015. Thank you for the beautiful poem!

I was looking for a prayer to post of FB but came across this. My mother just passed away and I haven't spoken to her in a few months and gotten to tell her that I returned to school. One more day is what I am feeling right now....Thank you, you put into words what I am feeling....

My mother died 2 months ago, but it still feels like just yesterday. I try to continue a way that my mother wanted for me, but it's not easy. I often feel lonely handling with the loss of my mother, like the world is closing down on me as if nothing happened. I really miss my mother's appearance very much. The thing is I don't have her in my everyday life which makes me sad. I really miss talking to her, hugging her and having her there for me in every step of the way. I miss everything that we have done together.... I Love You Mom, Rest In Love

My mother died 2 years ago she was struck by a car and died instantly. She was walking along with my brother to my house to visit me. She was my best friend and I still wake up every morning wanting to talk with her. Even though I'm surrounded by family without her it all seems so empty.

Hi Chloe
My name is Alberte I'm 17 years old, I live in Denmark and I lost my mother 1 0months ago. Reading your poem and story brought tears to my eyes. But I couldn't stop the smile on my lips when I read about how your father doesn't know a thing about puberty and so on..
I also lost my mother to cancer. The biggest comfort I have about it is, that my mother didn't had any pain dying. I often feel lonely handling with the loss of my mother, like the whole world is going on as if nothing has happened. I can't talk to my friends about it, because they act like I should've gotten over it a long time ago, and it often feels like they have no clue what's going on inside my head. I miss my mothers appearance so much, I can't even believe it myself. The fact that I don't have her in my everyday life makes me so sad. I miss talking to her, hugging her and having her there for me. I miss everything.

I'm not writing this to get sympathy or to have people ask if I'm OK, because I've been okay for at least 10 years now.
Hi my names Chloe, I'm 15 years old, my mum passed away from a very evil disease called CANCER, the cancer my mum caught wasn't a very common type of cancer. Her name was Janine, and she passed away when I was only 5 years of age.
Life has been hard trying to get through life without a mum or a female in your life to get you through all the hard times of growing up. especially when my dad has no clue on all the boyfriend stuff,or even worse about puberty.
Life hasn't been the best but I'm flying through it like a breeze.
I'm a netballer, part time worker, who studies very hard, and is training in the Army Cadets.

Thanks for hearing me out...........
