This is such a raw time for you, and I hope you feel better day by day. It is horrible to lose your mum and you are in my thoughts. I lost my mom and you never get over it. I so understand when you say you are not at peace. It will come and I will pray that for you.

I don't think she HAS gone. She may not be here in physical form, but I think she's still around you, in you, still caring for you. You can feel her. Perhaps you'll commune with her in a dream when you go to sleep tonight! Keep pouring your love energy into the universe. Good things, love and peace, will come.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard when our parents pass; they were the ones who took care of us for so much of our lives.

By all means, keep her alive in your heart!

I'm so sorry for your loss :( I lost my mom last Thursday (Oct 15th) and I'm having a hard time accepting that she's really gone. I feel like I keep getting signs from her, things that even my husband has raised his eyebrows at. I just don't know how to deal with this kind of pain, the past two days I've emotionally shut down and I've felt numb to everything. Was your mom sick? Mine passed suddenly, they said it was a massive heart attack. I don't know what to do now :(

Hi,

I know 20 days is extremely raw. Give yourself plenty of time and space to grieve.

One book that has helped me through the death of my wife is Janice Lee's "Reconsolidation":

I went to CalArts with the author. She write this book about the death of her mother. It is a beautiful lyric essay that I would recommend to anyone who is grieving a parent.
