    Maryam...I understand why you want the tattoo. Its like you mother is always live with you. My mother died about 7 yrs ago and She was cremated and my sister and I have her ashes place in a heart locket sealed and we all wear her around our neck. Some people think that it is really creepy but my mother has never traveled so much. I also have a hummingbirds tattooed all on my lower arm for my mother and father. When I get stressed (like day today) I just look at them and it reminds me of the fun time we all shared together. Some day your husband will understand your decisions!

    Cheers Cindy

    Maryam, I'm so sorry for your lost...I lost my Mom 9 mos ago and although your story is different from mine I understand you because the same thing happened to my Mom in the hospital. But Mom was 103 years old and the hospital said she was going to die anyway. They sent Mom home to die and she died two weeks later. You are not crazy, you just need time to grief. I won't go to Mom's grave and people think I'm cold hearted but I just can't. To me it seems that she's away on a trip and she'll be back but I know that's not true. You see, everybody grieves differently. From your age I imagine your Mom to still have been a young woman. Don't blame yourself for anything, blame the hospital. Hang in there. I too blamed myself because when Mom developed pneumonia I took her to the hospital and they killed her. I kept thinking that maybe if I took care of her at home...hold off on that tattoo. Right now is not the time to make a decision of any kind because you are in mourning, deep in grief, wait a few months. For me it's been 9 mos and I still haven't touch Mom's closet. People ask me what I'm going to do with her things and I just tell them for now everything stays as it was when she was here. Some offer to help me clean out her things and I get nasty and ask if her things bother them when I know perfectly well they think they are helping. I will have you in my prayers.
