I recently lost my mother in March of this year from Lung Cancer and she meant everything to me. She was my bestfriend and no matter if it was a bad day I always looked forward to waking up to see her drinking her coffee or watching her morning gospel channel. It hurts so much that I been keeping headaches because of constant crying and not much sleep. I have my good days and bad days, but I miss my mom it's no other way to put it. I feel so lonely and empty. I hope with time it gets better. Does it really get better? I always tell myself to stay positive and I try to stay up beat knowing my mom would want me to continue on with my life and finishing up school, but it's so hard. I am thankful to still have my father, as I have read about people losing both parents. Any advice on how to deal is very much appreciated. I'm sadden that my mother will never see my first child or relationship. It's so much heartache and emptyness I feel.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
I watched my parents a lot, and when dad died I felt sorry that there were things on the list that we did not get done. But then I asked myself what my father would have said about this, and this is how I think that he would have answered me:
I want to have a lot of things on my to do list, and as I get some done I will add more to the list. The other option is to clean everything up and then sit and wait to die, never starting anything that I can't get done quickly.
So that is what I think he would have told me if he had a chance. It is what I am telling my children while I am still young-ish (60 something).
It takes time, and March is not that long ago. Allow yourself to grieve, but also allow yourself to heal. Focus on your dad, enjoy him and let him be a bigger part in your life. I have lost both parents, and I am learning to let others fill the void that they left. It is working for me. It is not 100%, but I'm getting there.
Gentle hugs
As for my dad I am definitely even more closer to him and just being there to support him since I know he's hurting as well as my other siblings. I had a "moment" last night when I just couldn't stop crying so I made this account and I must say it does help being able to talk to people who understand what im going through. Then I think about Mother's Day and I hope I can cope and turn it into a positive day...
Let your grief out.... Finding a RL support group can be helpful as well
I think all of the 'firsts' are hard without someone you love this much.... birthdays, Christmas, Mothers' Day etc
As time goes on I have found it easier to celebrate her life.... and I can laugh now when I remember things between us.....and I know that's what our mom's would want however we do have to let the pain of grief out..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo
I' wish I had some advice to help you but I too am not doing to well to be giving advice. My deepest sympathy for your loss though a d if you ever need to talk I am more than willing. One thing I know is it helps to have others!
