Today marks the first month without my mom. I want time to stop because I don't want it to be a year or ten that I haven't gotten a hug from my mom, or heard her laugh.  I miss her more than I knew I could miss anything we were so close it was ridiculous. I am already a wreck today and I just got up. I got a new job offer too, but I can't even get myself to call the people back. I have put my life on pause to waot for someone I know will never return half of me knows I have to move forward thebother half doesn't want to.

As time passes it will be more than half of you that knows you have to move forward. It is hard, I know. I am coming up on the one year mark since dad died. I just passed the 2 year mark for mom.

I will not say that it gets easy, but I will say that it can get less hard. Please, do allow yourself to move forward. I have to believe that our parents would not want any of us to get stuck in time.

Continuing hugs

I am so sorry for your loss. The stabbing wrenching pain and total numbness will slowly be replaced by a sadness, an emptiness that will come back when you least expect it. Our parents are our most precious loved ones, so give yourself time, let yourself rest, or eat, or watch TV or just stare into space and wonder what we're all on earth for. I lost my dad 8 months ago, and I at last found the courage to look at our old photos together and to allow myself to remember happier times. It's coming up for his birthday soon and I don't know what to do - whatever it is, it will still hurt a lot - I tear up just writing this.

Sending a warm hug ...
