My heart goes out to you. I lost my mum 2 years ago to pancreatic cancer in 2009 - she was diagnosed June 09 and died August 09 so it all happened very suddenly. Mum was my best friend and at first I was shocked and overwhelmed with grief and cried a lot. I miss her everyday and I've had bereavement counselling. After time grief does become less intense but I'll never forget Mum. I particularly missed Mum when it was her birthday, Mothers Day, Easter, my birthday and at Christmas time. My parents' home, where my dad still lives, is full of things to remind me of my mum - in the house are cushions Mum made, she was an artist and her pictures hang on the wall and the empty chair she sat in all remind me of Mum. I too have pictures Mum painted and sketched and jerseys/pullovers Mum had knitted for me and clothes Mum had bought me for birthday and Christmas presents. It is strange seeing my Dad at home without Mum beside him.

This year on the anniversary I lit a candle in a church and shed a few tears as I spoke to the priest about my mum. It helps me to have a faith in God and to know that death is not the end and that Mum is now at peace.

Take care. With hugs. Anna

I am so sorry for your loss of your Mom,
I lost my Mom 10 years ago. She was 65.
I missed her so much, but i now it is hard to hear or think of but it will get easier.
Just all the good memories remain and will always be with you.
