Prince William Remembers His Mother

Your grandchildren are so blessed to have such a caring, loving grandparent. Your keen awareness of their loss and pain shows you to be a very caring person. They are so lucky to have you. Take care of yourself!

I lost my mother, 23 years, ago. I was 21 years old, I still cry and miss her all the time. It does get a little better, but there is still the "emptiness there". I always wondered would it hurt less or more to lose her suddenly or like I did and watch her go slowly from ALS. I have a stepmother, I love her but I cant call her mama, but I do call her mom. The thing that bothers me, is my ex-wife alway said I should let it go and quit grieving it is been to long to be missing her. But when she was the only friend and parent that built you up and supported you, it is hard. My wedding day was hard, my divorce was hard, there was no mom to cry with and help me through the good times and bad times. My heart and prayers have always been with His Highnesses Prince William and Harry May God bless and keep you and give you peace.

William - I know you will never see this, but it helps me not miss my mom to think about it like this
LOOK IN THE MIRROR. YOU LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MOTHER, DIANA! She is still there with you. Go ahead and hold her when you sleep and talk to her. She will always be there for you. And, I am glad you said you miss her. Thank you. She was the most beautiful lady and loved her boys.

Prince William I think this is a very honorable contribute that you have choose to do much like your Mother you are very kind. I lost 2 sons both were 19 but passed 2 1/2 yrs apart. As a mother it has been very hard living without them but, through their memory I am hoping that I can make a difference for others that are grieving.
I have watch your royal family & with admiration watching you & your brother grow up to be fine young men I know that your mother
would have been very proud. Your mother still lives through you. In you heart you will feel her in your eyes & smile you can see her. My prayers are with you & your family.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am and I pray for you and your family.
God bless

Deb, you described the feeling of loss perfectly. I feel the same way about my late Dad. All those things you said expressed exactly my feelings dealing with a terrible loss. My condolences to you and your son's family. Very sorry to read about that. Life is so unfair.

deb - you summed up my feelings exactly - i lost my soul mate a mere 5 years after finding him - it'll be 2 years in june...they say time heals, but i disagree...time has dulled the acuteness of his loss in some ways - or maybe i've just learned to adapt...and it's soooo true the pain is always waiting to bubble up to the surface a song, an aroma (he loved to cook), father's day, it can be something as innocuous as a license plate number or an answer in a cross-word puzzle...like others who have responded to you, i feel for your loss...

Thanks, Bruce and Zeiglerdc for your kind comments. I sometimes wonder how long it will take my grandchildren to recover, but I can see by Prince William's kind comments and compassion that maybe there is no just "getting over it" - as the saying goes. I am still trying to make it easier for them but they are still "running" from it and in a lot of pain from it. So is my son. We hurt for the kids - ya know what I mean? Slowly they will recover, I'm sure. Thanks for listening. Princes William and Harry, you are always in my prayers. I loved your Mom! She was so beautiful and she loved you so - hold onto that ok?

This interview of Prince Williams' thoughts a nd feelings being spread through the internet might be the loudest and the most important message we here around the world.

To never be able to say "Mummy, Mom, Ma, Mother, ever again in any language, speaks volumes. To never have had a chance to call someone "Mummy, Mom, Ma, Mother" is to something to reflect on.

And to William "thank you" in paying tribute to his mothers charities, has spoken a very loud word for those of us "who have been told to get on with our lives. " Those of us who have endured the death of a child/children and will never hear him/her/them call our name, we listen for that particular voice calling Mum, Mummy, Mom, Mother Ma, forever we endure Williams words " A grief that is never lost" .

"our tears swell rivers, the rivers feed into the seas, the seas to the ocean, the oceans unending, as is our grief".

Support Princes William and Harry as they support Dianas' Charities. It is good for all of

Dear Laurie,

Please accept heartfelt condolences from a fellow adult orphan and former adult-child caregiver. As I'm typing I'm on the verge of crying, having lost my mother two and half years ago to cancer, after being her sole caregiver for ten years. The pain never goes away, I've been told and my experience seems to confirm. I'm always told by others, "She's in a better place." I wish I could say this about myself emotionally, as the Holidays and Mother's Day are personal days of mourning rather than celebratory occasions. In any event, God bless you, William, and all of us who have lost our one and only mothers.

It sounds as if you turned out to be just like your mother; uncaring and cold hearted! You clearly have issues about this. You may be the only one that CAN'T see them. In fact, you are having an international "pity party" now on the WWW.

Trust me, you cannot grasp the gravity and finality of the death of your mother until you experience it. Even with the bad relationship that you unfortunately have, you will always crave 'what might have been'. Take the time to make a mends now. Once they're gone (eternally), they DON'T come back. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

God Bless William and Harry, Diana was a wonderful example of a loving and devoted mother.

your comments are ridiculous. Your circumstances are completely different. Your mother left you by choice. His mother DIED. You are angry at her but don't make stupid comments about getting over someone dying. Be angry at your mother for God's sake but don't make fun of people who express their grief over death. He can do a lot of good with the money he generates from her memorials and she would have wanted that.

Serendipity, big difference. You were abandoned and your mother made a conscious choice to leave you and start a new life. No one chooses to die. There is no comparative in your situation. Yes, it is tragic that a mother would leave her child, and thank God you were able to get on with your life, but it is more Tragic for a your mother to be taken from you in the blink of an eye by death. As for the Prince or anyone that loses a mother, I feel such pain for them. I almost died giving birth to my son and as I laid there all I could think of is how my childrens life would be. I wasn't worried about my life, but worried about theirs. No one will ever love a child as a good and genuine mother will love hers. I pray God gives you peace (and also to you Serenedipity).

What serindipity is saying everyone loses someone in someway. On them days you miss them. But not everyone was a Diane fan, most are fed up with hearing about her. She was gone from them before she died the future supposedly queen left them for an arab. Hello their father and his new wife stuck by and raised them she wanted the jet life. Which is how she died a drunk driver who by the way they knew was drunk and she insisted on him driveing and he had a known alcohol problem. Tell it like it is if it wasn't him it would of been that horseback rider or whoever. She chose to leave her sons. Stop makeing a martyr out of her.
