Still missing mom

DonnaB49

It's been a year and a half since mom died but I miss her more than ever. I have been having trouble with illness and I think it's a result of depression from missing her so much. I live alone now so it's bad when I'm not feeling well and the loneliness seems worse. She was the only family I had left besides a nephew who lives in another state. I have more problems now because my temp disability is exhausted and I am unsure now what to do.

Donna, I understand the feeling of loss. Mine has been gone for 20 months now. I do believe that there can be a link between our social/emotional state and our physical health... that being said, I found that what helped me was getting involved in little projects...a little at a time. The sense of accomplishment I felt afterwards was a good boost for my self esteem. These projects can be anything...helping someone write a letter, volunteering w a nearby organization or group, fixing something in your home u've been meaning to get to, etc etc. I don't know what illness ur dealing w/ but of course think of things within ur ability at this time and build from there.

Like I said it worked for me.
Hugs and Prayers to u,
Sue

Dear Donna, I am so sorry for loss. My mom has been gone for 1 year now. And nothing has seemed to go right since. Just has been one thing after another. But Suezs is right, you need to try and get involved or start a project. No matter how little or small. Just taking a walk or go to the library, just to get out.
Sometimes agencies give free legal advise regarding disability , have you check the phone book.

We are here for you!!!!

Hello Donna, So sorry to hear of the sad loss of your mum.
It is still early day's, to loose your mum who is also your best friend.
It is five year's since my mum passed away and I still miss her as much today. I talk to her photo of her every day (this really helps me)
I agree with Deb, try a visit to the libary as a good book can help, and a short walk.

It's over two years for me and no words could express the grief and sadnees I feel since mom died. I do not live alone but sometimes feel so alone inside myself.
