I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mum. This is a terrible time, and I wish you well through it; cherish those memories of love and laughter.
Sounds like you were lucky to have a mum like her and she was equally lucky to have a loving son like you!
Sadly, the same thing happened to me; I happened to have a lovely, funny message from my dad saved on my ansaphone when he died suddenly. Used to listen to it occasionally... and then my toddler enthusiastically pressed all the buttons on the ansaphone thus erasing the message! So upsetting.
Well, the message might be gone, but her love is yours forever.
Wishing you well.

I know what you mean. My mum died ten years ago, and my biggest regret is that I have no record of her voice. I have bits of her handwriting, photos, things that belonged to her, but not her voice. Perhaps we should all leave recordings behind us for people to remember us by.

My sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. I can assure you that your mother will speak with you again. I recently had a dream where my mother and sister-in-law, both deceased, were having a pleasant, happy conversation together. I was standing at the edge of the image, trying to join them. My mother gently told me to be quiet, because she and Evelyn were talking. When I woke up, I was pleased for them. Take care of yourself.

So sorry to hear this. Sincere condolences from me too.
Just recently, on one of my regular websites, members were talking about the three people they'd most like to have around their table for dinner at Christmas. One or two suggested famous figures from history. Most, however, said they'd give anything to share just one more bit of time with lost loved ones.

Deepest sympathies to you and yours, DG. That is a wonderful pic on the website and she looks a great and loving woman. My mum also died suddenly this year, so I think I know a little of what you must be feeling now. Sadness does pass and then you realise with joy what an absolutely amazing person you had as a mother. Look after yourself.

Reading your post reminded me of this poem. I am sorry for your loss.
A Reminiscence by Anne Bronte
[extract]
Yes, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
...
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to know that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form, so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I, too, am facing my first Christmas without my Mum. She died last month from cancer, at just 56.
I'm looking at the clock now counting the minutes until it's Christmas, with tears rolling down my cheeks and disbelief in my heart that she is not here to share it.
It's hard. The hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Be strong, and know you're not alone.

Very sorry to read of your loss, DG, and thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful post which sums up what others of us have been through too. (I had just the same thing, I hadn't kept an answerphone message and it was one of the first things I thought of after she died. But I found I could remember her voice perfectly. I still can, and she's been gone eight years now.)
All best wishes to you.

I'm so sorry to hear your news. Losing a loved one is always difficult but I think there's an added poignancy at this time of year.
I have an answerphone tape somewhere in a box 12,000 miles away with my grandmothers voice on it. Like you, I kept it because I knew there would come a time when that would be the only way I'd hear her voice. One day I'll listen to it again.
You're in my thoughts.

So sorry to read about the loss of your mother, DG.
I do so very much associate with your notes about those electronic traces, and feel sorry about that deleted voice mail.
Having lost my own mum earlier this year I've re-read her last text messages to me again and again.

We've (probably) never met, but as an ex-pat Londoner of seemingly the same generation your blog has long provided me with a link to a familiar past that has been erased by time, space, gastro-pubs and redevelopment projects. You could have not posted for a month or so, but instead chose to blog about your mum's passing. Many of us have been where you are now, and the rest of us know we will be there one day as the price for a long life. I hope the new year brings some time to remember her with warmth and love.
Best wishes, Paul.

Words of sympathy and good wishes just don't touch the sides, DG, but they are all I have to offer.
The unimaginable becomes bearable, and the bittersweet toast to "Absent Friends" becomes more sweet, less bitter.

Sorry to hear the sad news about the death of your Mum. It is good of you to share something so personal with us in such an eloquent post. The lifetime of memories you have is so much more precious than any image or recording.

Very nicely written at a very difficult time. When much much younger, I recorded my mother on a portable C30 tape with microphone,asking if I wanted some Horlicks for bedtime and wanting to know what music I was listening to,in her magnified Lancashire accent...I still have it somewhere,kept for similar reasons. Very best wishes,Felix

I too have no record of my mum's voice. It took a while after her death but I can now recall her speaking voice, clear as anything. It will come, believe me.

My condolences.
It's always a shock, not matter how prepared we think we are. Having the the death of a parent occur at
Christmas makes the grief sharper.
( The added hassles are another subject).

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved mum. Just before I came to this blog and and read today's (28th) entry and realising what this meant, I was uploading some videos I shot whilst abroad with my mum last month. I was feeling somewhat annoyed at her for talking over one of the best videos - really banal comments like 'keep hold of your phone, don't drop it' etc. I now know to treasure that video.
My thoughts are with you and your loved ones as you head into the new year and decade without one of the pillers of your family.

Been away for ten days in France and on returning I decided to check 10\% of my feeds. Yours was always going to be one of them but what I met with really shocked me.
Losing a parent's so hard, no matter what the circumstances. But I think in days, weeks, years to come people will take comfort in the words you've written. Beautiful. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss DG it's so hard this time of year. Your post is beautifully written; I was reminded of my Mum leaving me a message when I first got an ansaphone and she ended it with "lots of love, Mummy" like in a letter. I kept it for years but somehow it got wiped but I can still remember her voice and am smiling now just thinking of it.

You sometimes complain about feedreader followers, not visiting the site and missing out on the comments.
Well, I follow via RSS, and this is my first comment. This post was very moving.

Hi DG.
I'm so sorry.
Things like this hit me pretty hard too.
My grandmother died in 1975. I was close to her and it took me ages to get over losing her. But after awhile you just begin to appreciate and love the impact and influence these people have had on your life.
Best regards, Ian.

very sorry to hear your sad news, and it's no surprise that you write about what happened with such style and dignity. And I am reminded that 15 years on, I can't remember what my dad's voice was like...

Dear DG,
I've only just looked at your site having been on a bit of a hiatus over Christmas and I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I lost my mum on the 15th August and I know how you are feeling. I've been reading your blog on and off for years now as an expat Londoner in the Gulf, its always been a taste of home. I'm so sorry that you are going though grief right now. xxx

Me too DG, and to think I was enjoying catching up on your New Year and 2009 highlights. Now I feel like I have just been punched in the face.
I am so sorry to hear about your Mum, that piece was beautifully and bravely written. RIP Mrs DG.

Beautifuly written, and written with true emotion.
