When your mother dies, you're not a little girl any more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's nothing that symbolizes loss or grief more than a mother losing a child.
To grow up with the loss of your mother is a scar that never goes away.
I lost my mother when I was 7 and they put her in a mental hospital. My brother and I watched her being taken away in a strait jacket. That's something you never forget. And my stepmother was like in the movie 'Precious.' I couldn't handle it. So I said to myself, 'I don't have a mother. I don't need one. I'm going to let music be my mother.'
Because I was very big and she was very small, my mother had a horrible birth when I was born. So she always said: 'I'm never having any more kids!'
It follows that if you are not a mother you are not a grandmother. Your life has become unpunctuated, whereas the lives of other women around you have these distinct phases.
But I still always felt the absence of a mother.
We never think that our mothers will die. It was like suddenly an abyss opened at my feet - I was standing on nothing. It was the strangest thing. Her passing away ripped the solidity out of the world.
To be a mother is a magical experience. The whole body is transformed by this.
It's unfathomable how you live without your mother.
To every little girl, her father is a hero. My father actually is one.
