My world is empty

I'm new here, I lost my mom a month ago. I'm not a stranger to the grieving process One by one I've lost my whole family mom was always was there to help me pick up the pieces of my life. My friends seem to fall into one of two groups. First they don't know what to say so they say nothing. Second one they think I should just pick up the pieces of my broken heart and move on. I don't think they understand mom meant everything to me.My world is empty. I heard a song song that says the way I feel perfectly Hootie & the blowfish- Not even the trees.
I joined this site hoping to make some new friends that understand all the pian involved in coming through this a stronger person, if that's possible.
Thanks for reading.

[hugs] petlover120. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your much loved mom and others in your family that passed on.

This is a rough time for those of us in grief. It makes out friends uncomfortable to be near so much pain and they don't understand the depth of it. You've come to the right place, there are many compassionate people here. You can tell your feelings and likely make some friends to connect to.

Be good to yourself today and tomorrow, cry if you need to and try to remember good times you had with your mom. You'll be with her again someday...she's not gone forever.

I am so glad you came here to daily strength. It is so important to be able to share the pain you feel with others. Nobody knows the relationship you had with your mom. It's special and unique to you. When i was deep in my grief it seemed like my friends could never say the right thing. If they said nothing it would upset me, and if they asked me how i was doing, it would upset me. I now understand that most of my friends just didn't know what to do or say. Losing your mom is not something you "move on" from. Take it one day at a time. Hugs.

Your mom is not lost to you, just unseen for now. It is your heart that feels empty - there is no one like Mom! She will help you through, because she can. Cry, vent, ask....we are here for you ((SOFT HUGS)))

I too lost my mom December 3rd, 2012. I know how you are feeling, I really do. I share your sentiment. What has been helping me is to know that my mom is in God's arms right now. I still cry and grieve each day.....it helps to just take things one day at a time and talk to her and God each day.
