Motherless Children Support Group
This community focuses on children (of any age) who no longer have a mother in their lives, whether as a result of death or extended separation. A mother plays a crucial role in both early childhood development as well as support throughout one's life. How is your life affected by the lack of this integral relationship?
My mother passed away April 13, 2011. I am still in denial with her death i just can not belive she is never coming back. I know that she is gone but i dont feel like she is. I am the youngest of six children and my mother helped raised my oldest child until i met and married my husband of five yrs. How do i deal with her absent everything reminds me of her. For instances i was in a store and I saw her favorite cookies and i just stared at the box saying " she loves shortbread cookies". I was in standing there until I had to tell myself move away. Is this normal?
Denial is a perfectly normal part of grieving and the process to overcome it. I don't believe in actually overcoming missing them, but I do believe in healing. It has taken me a long time to grieve the loss of my mom, but my father's death anniversary of 10 years in tomorrow. I am 22 so I know I am young, but my parents both passed away and has made me become a lot more sensitive to people who suffer.
Also, the Grief Care 4 Kids that I talked about above, I was a facilitator for the children and still participate in that. If you would like any other support, or just someone to listen....I'd be more than happy to help pull you along! God Bless You!! Love, Kayla Marie
i believe it is normal... i am feeling in a fog lately myself with my mother's death anniversary approaching next monday. it's almost as if my body is here, but i am not... feels very strange. and i am crying every now and then at things that don't seem like they'd make me cry usually... my heart feels like a bubbling pot of pain ready to bubble out of the pan... i guess my heart misses her more than i thought it would... : (
