Life without a Mother / Motherless Daughter


SO this blog thing, is pretty new to me but I'm getting the hang of it!




I wanted to start a blog for a variety of reasons, to let everyone know different events that we are involved with, but also to give support to other women that have loss their mothers to cancer.



It will be three years that my mom has been gone on June 10, 2008. My life has dramatically changed since that day. It has been a roller coaster ride, and I don't wish the pain that I have endured upon anyone. Not only did I loose my mom but I also lost allot of people that where once part of my life. No one understands what a daughter goes through when she looses her mother, especially when you are only 28 years old. No when gives you instructions that say this is how you grieve ( although it might be helpful). There is only about 3 people I can say have been there for me and understand me and love me with all my flaws and I thank them for that! But there is also people that walked out of my life due to the the fact that they really did not know me the real MONIQUE. Therefore I feel that it is there loss and not mine. I can say that today I am a better person than I was 3 years ago, the loss of a mother can make you a stronger person, (especially if you are the only daughter), and the way that you handle trials in life can actually help you build character, I know that today I am a better person because of my struggles and losses. Bad things happen to everyone no one is immune to it. when we endure loss we have to take the situation at hand and turn it into something positive and move on. I cant say that I will ever get over my mothers death , but you manage and when you hold strong to your faith each day becomes a little easier!



I will try to post daily about whats events are going on with the foundation, but I will also post about my feeling about loosing my mother. I want other women to know that they are not alone, and I feel the same void that they feel in there heart!
