I lost my mom on Summer Soltice of this year. I am not doing well at all. I have become full time live in care giver to my father (which is a totally different story). Mom and I had just gotten close again in the last 4 years and had been able to forgive each other for a not so pleasant past. I miss her every moment of every day. My sympathies to you.

It has been 6 weeks and 1 day since I lost my Momma. It feels so new and at the same time, so long ago. I'm not ok. I miss her so terribly much. I can't help you with any advice about healing, because I'm not doing well myself. My birthday is coming up this month and I'm dreading it and freaking out about it...

I lost my mom a year and a half ago...my dad went with her. I am so glad to have come across this topic. Everyone expects me to be over it, but 1 1/2 years doesn't heal the pain. And I'm tired of people telling me I should be over it. We all have to grieve in our own way. lirvinel you're not alone, it is not going good for me either...

lirvinel,sorry for the loss of your precious Mother.
I lost my Mom 7 months ago.I miss those wonderful conversations with my Mom too.
I have times when i can go for a few days and feel pretty normal and then Wham! I think there is NO WAY!my Mother is gone this just can't be. What does help me is the comfort I recieve from having friends here that know exactly how i feel.I hope we can be friends too.I care about how your feeling and you are in my prayers. Hugs, Maggie

My mom passed away May 10th - nearly 6 months now - I miss her everyday! The holidays were her favorite time of year - so this is going to be very difficult. She was my bestfriend, someone I could talk to about anything and my shopping buddy. I cry in waves - just hits me, but at least now I can look at her picture and not cry like I was. At times I feel so empty and lonely and want to call her, but she is not there to answer, but I know she is around me and thats very important to me.

It has been just about 2 yrs since my mother lost her battle with ovarian cancer. This was such a hard thing for me, the hardest thing to date to deal with. I have to say, I have not completely gotten through it, but I do not cry EVERY day anymore. I know when my daughter does something new (she never got to see her grandma) I cry, the holidays, I cry, I miss her more than I can put into words. I have been able to talk about happy times and remember with family, but I think I will forever have a void in my heart now that she is gone. I am very sorry for your loss.....

I lost my mom on July 29, 1984 ... many years ... but I still and always will miss her. Hugs to everyone who has lost a mother. There is no one in the world that I believe loves you as much or as unconditionally as your mother. I carry my mother's love with me everyday in everything I do.

There is not a day that goes by that i dont think of her. It will be three years this month since she passed. I still find it so hard to believe that she's gone. But over the years it has gotten a lil easier to deal with it. I wish every single day i could go back in time, the things that i would of done differently. I havent talked about her in along time with anybody, not until the other day. Its still hard on me everyday to go on but i know that what she would want. Pain will always be there, it will never leave, Its the hope and reality that we have to believe that they moved on to some where better. To all the people who replied this i wish u all the best i know exactly how you all feel. The main thing that i have learned is healing does take time and sometimes you feel like you'll never heal but one day you will. Love to all!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my precious mother Nov.2002. She was such an amazing woman. She was an encourager. That was her greatest gift. I miss her terribly. One thing that comforts me is that I can still hear her voice in my head. When I have a problem that's on my mind, I can just hear what my mother would have said and it's such a big help to me. She comforted and advised me so many times, about so many things that I've sort of stored all that wisdom up in my head and I still use it to this day. She was such a blessing.

Grief is such a personal thing. We all go at our own pace and have to experience things in our own way. Give yourself time and just try to accept her loss, but keep her memory and her love close. In the end, that's what we all have to do. Blessings to you in your struggle.

Firstly sorry to read of everyones losses...my mum passed away just over a year ago..and am in a worse state now....the year has gone so quick...it feels like it was just yesterday...i have lost all energy and motivation..and closing down...i miss and am yearning for her..

I lost my mom Dec. 15,2006. Some days I'm fine then other days aren't good. I don't think that I have really grieved over momma.(because at the sametime they were expecting my husbands grandmother to die from cancer, she died feb.10,2007) At the funeral I felt I had to be strong for everybody else. The worst part is I dont know how my mom died. She had alot of health problems.(diabeties, breast cancer,conjestive heart failure, renal kidney failure) she was vey sick.She was in a nursing home for rehab. I had just talked to her the Wednsday before and she told me she felt good better than she had in years and she was going home Friday. Friday morning I get a call from my sister-n-law telling me momma went in to respitory arrest and they(the nursing home) were taking her to the hospital and she would call me back(i live 200 miles away)so my husband went to get my kids from school. I called my sister-n-law back and she told me that they were talking to the Dr. then and she would call right back. It wasnt 5 min. and my brother called me to tell me my momma was dead. I told my brother that i wanted an autopsy done but her Dr refused. He said with all her health problems that there was no reason to do one. So I dont know how my mom died. The nursing home says respitory arrest, the hospital says cardiac arrest. One thing that kind of helps is (I work in a nursing home 2 as a cook) since then everytime i go to take the trash out. theres this real bright star brighter than the rest and no other stars close by it. I tell my self that "thats my mom in heaven watching over me". I miss her so much. I want to talk to her, hug her, give her a kiss. Theres no pain like losing your mom.

I loss my mom aug 11 2007, I take very hard and there day I think about I cry all day long but, I found that write help alot i righ about the time we had from what she is missing now it help me atlo, I am just 22 and my b-day is soon I real feel loss with out my mom to , But i know she look down on me smile and she want me to keep go for her to fight the bad time in life. I not say it easly trust me on that but have to keep fight for you mom she would want you to be happpy

I lost my mother to breast cancer when she was 41 and I was 20. That was 33 yrs. ago. I think of her every day but with happy memories now. I am trying to remember this as I lost my husband of 34 yrs. to cancer in July of this year. I should be practicing this myself but you will in time think of the times together in a more positive way, but you really never get over the loss of a mom, it just gets easier.

I lost my Mother on Oct. 27, 2007. She went into the hospital with abdominal pains & never woke up after the surgery. She had an asthma attack coming out of anesthesia, triggering a heart attack. They worked on her for 2 hours until her pulse & BP stabilized & put her on a ventilator. I took her off the ventilator on the 27th & she passed away about 10 minutes later. It was the fastest & slowest 10 minutes of my life. Thankfully it was peacefull.
Right now I am having to sell her car, pack up our house, sell the house & move back to Ohio.
My therapist says that I am dealing with it very well. But I feel miserable because I don't feel miserable (if you know what I mean). I've had my little breakdowns (yesterday was a mad-at-Mom day) but not like I expected. Honestly, I felt worse before she passed away. I went through a lot of guilt over having to turn off her life support. I've never even put a dog to sleep (not that I think of my Mother as a dog) & I was conviced that I was killing her. Strangly enough, afterwards I didn't feel guilty. I felt relieved. I felt guilty for feeling relieved but more relief than anything. My Aunt agreed. We decided that the relief was because we (I) had done the right thing & she wasn't suffering anymore. She had just been in so much pain with the diabetes & myotonic dystrophy.
My therapist says that the way I am dealing is very healthy. He loves the thought of this website as an outlet. He was also impressed with the icanpray.com website for letting you write letters to nowhere.
My hugs & thoughts to all that have lost loved ones. Together we can get through it.
