Mum has been gone almost 9wk,s now, but i still feel as if i,m in a tiny room and i can,t get out unless i slap a smile on my mouth,i really can,t believe she left me, i know i,m a man now but what the hell is that supposed to do with me losing my mum! i,m angry frustrated and alone, yes i have dad with me,It feels so strange comin in from work and mum not yelling at me to get a bath before i can have my tea! and "Don,t even think about putting your butt on my funiture or i,ll slap you silly" mum never meant it but she used to laugh alot and take the micky outta me,to a point when she knew i was gonna lose my rag,then she,d say if i can wind you up, what about your mates always be on guard,i really miss her,i try to be chirpy yet inside i feel broken if you can understand what i,m trying to say? mum kept all my baby teeth, and i didn,t realise just how much of the stuff i came home with was still with mum, right down to nursery picture,s, i feel like a different person now,i listen to my nan now instead of ignoring her and just agreeing with her,i wish this terrible pain will ease.

Callum, all of your feelings are natural... doesn't matter if you are a man or woman. My mom passed a year and almost one month ago and I still feel that way and am on an emotional roller coaster. The good thing is that you are able to have good memories too. I know that it isn't the same as having her back, but it is an important part of your healing.

Hey Callum. It does'nt matter whether you are a male or a female, you still lost someone very close to you. You know i feel so sorry for males that have to try and keep their grieving within because it is not "manly" to cry. We are all human beings regardless. My mum kept a lot of my stuff from when i was little too. She had all my baby teeth and the hair from my first haircut and now i do that with my kids. It is funny how, in time, i remind myself so much of my mum. You will always have your mum with you, as you are her son. I think it is great talking to your nan now, she might be able to help you a little bit too. Just remember, your mum would be proud of you no matter what you do and how you do it. BIG HUGS.

Hello. Well for me, it's been almost 10 years now since i've lost my mom. She was my everything, i was dependent on her to a fault. So losing her, i lost myself. You do find a way to cope and to deal because you know that is what she wants you to do. What I found helpful at first was to write letters to my mom, be completly honest. I even told my mom how angry i was that she left me. And every chance I got to talk about her I did, remembering her made me feel good. I hope you find your way through this and you come out stronger in the end.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
