5 months and I still feel like I could just call my Mom up. I don't feel like she's gone. Maybe my brain is in denial some what. Ya, I have depression, anger issues, I cry, ect. but like when I'm driving down the road I feel like I could just call her up on my cell and chit chat. I've heard that God can hear our thoughts so I have prayers/conversations with him in my head all the time and now I do the same with my Mom, like she's sitting with me. (It's always one sided though) I can't speak more than 2 words out loud to her before I start crying though. Any thoughts?
Allow yourself to cry and grieve. Have those out loud talks and let the process take you through the tears. Remember, too, the good times and the laughter, they're very important.
Keep taking to your mom...she hears you & you need to talk to her...my rules or timetables for grief..
Most recently I lost my cat - who I adopted when my brother died...a big loss...I still see my cat every where I look in our home...my brother has been gone 9 years & I still wave to him in the cemetery when I drive past on my way to work...
Losing a parent is major...
Please keep sharing. The folks here are wonderful & have helped me lot.
It's been about that amount of time for me too though it barely feels that way as losing your best friend and mother is devastating.
I think it's not just grief but a broken heart, and for me the shock and not being prepared, having regrets and all that.
I sometimes forget that it's happened, though how I don't know as we used to text at least every day for one thing.
Just flicking through my photo's I saw pictures of mum again and totally broke down. I've just turned 30 which doesn't help the situation of a daunting future without mum.
I believe that our mums can hear us occasionally and I think that journalling/writing to mum is another important way that I communicate with her.
This loss has brought me to my knees and my life to a stand still. I feel for and with you, and know just how damn hard this is. 5 months is incredibly raw and nothing compared to the life time I've been lucky enough to have with her - it just makes the loss that much more difficult.
