Once again, you’ve covered something that I’m beginnig to get in touch with within myself. Life is fun with so many things to try and do.
My relationship with mom lately has been ‘on the surface.’ Knowing our views on life, health and longevity issues are so very different. She’s an RN believing in the western way. If I get into my views there is a feeling of tenseness. One of us tends to change the subject. It’s getting easier though as time goes on and not as tense as it used to be.
There is kindness in her heart. She has a lot of compassion for animals. If she could do it over she’d be a vet. Hopefully, she gets to.

mother: wow……………
i am 66 and my mother died on inauguration day.
she was 93. she was an incredable mother. we were from different planets for sure but i learned to respect her right to think her way and accept i was
different. we cannot change other people and learning to accept this made my love and respect for her so much greater. i was blessed to have her in my life for so long and i honor her memory and her life.
she was a beautiful and loved sole who always saw the best in everyone. i could go on and on and on
but as Dr. Diamond said she was the most important influence person in my life though the good and the bad. she always loved me and i will cherish her life and her memory.

Hey Kev, It would be wonderful if you interviewed Dr. Diamond for the inner circle. Please?!
And thanks for the question about improving my relationship with my mom. It’s gone back and forth many times, but considering who she wanted to be inspires me and helps me let go of disappointments from the past.

Me and my mother haven’t always gotten along, some might say we’re so alike (emotional, and pasionate about everything we do and what be believe) that it’s too much. But.. over the years, the older I get, the more in tune I am with my mother. She is my best friend, and always puts others first, in such a beautiful selfless way.
I really enjoyed that video clip, Kevin and Ann Marie.
I just came across this website a few weeks ago, but i’ve been passing the word out– that you for making all these health related resources, so readily available!

Have a Wonderful Day
God Bless

Hi there..wow perfect timing. I have been soul searching these past few days and looking at relationships.My father in law died last thursday.His wife,my mother in law is left.So we look and see where we are with them.And my own mother.
I love the idea of all she aspires or aspired to be.What did she get? Did she get enough from her life? Shes so human like us all.Did I expect something more? Or is she perfect just as she is? To make this statement helps me…”I accept my Mother exactly as she is and exactly as she is not”. Plus I look at her in her life and see that perhaps she too might have had huge disapointments with others in her world.Yet she DID it.What she needed to do and be.WOW.
My mom raised 11 children in a most unhappy marriage and circumstance.Bless her.
I ask…”Mom,were you loved enough?” Then I bless her with all the love I can muster. Your MOM is your Mom and that is HUGE! I luv you Mom.Daughter number 5(haha),Bette

I enjoyed this show very very much. thank you for bringing Dr Diamond and his message into my awareness. I’d love to hear more from him. It’s a very powerful request he made to have people think about their mother, not as who she was to you or what she did necessarily, but WHO she wanted to be. For me, it opened the doors of compassion and love. My mother was a highly creative person who studied to be a nurse, but never finished as her life was sidetracked with family responsibilities. though I know at her heart she is not like this, as she can be a hugely generous and insightful person, her emotional and unpredictable and sometimes hateful behaviour can be seen seen as a fractured soul who has thwarted her purpose and denied her soul all her life. Now though this meditation of Dr Diamonds, I can see that I’d like to help her reclaim her lost self and perhaps regain some happiness before she passes away…as I am able to.

My relationship with my mother is wonderful! I love her so much!! We have a very close relationship; she’s my best friend and if I could, I’d spend every day with her.
Linda, I’m so sorry for your recent loss of your mother. She sounded like a wonderful person.

Dr. Diamond’s question was, “how can we improve our image of our mother …Who she wanted to be”. This is a very different question than what was your relationship with your mother. The Dr’s question asks us to take responsibility for our vision and memories, and encourages us to be creative. He asks us to think “adult to adult”.
The question you posted does not move us beyond our past images, grievances, and interpretations of the mother we knew as a child. When we dwell on our childhood interpretations of the mothering we received we don’t create as Dr. Diamond suggests, but we ferment.
Once I was able to view my mother as Dr. Diamond suggests, with an eye toward Who she wanted to be, my relationship became a source of strength and gratitude rather than one of bitterness for past grievances and misudnerstandings. Now, I am able to embrace and acess the strength of generations of strong women in my life.
