Shelley, I am so sorry for the loss of both your parents. So close to each other, I can't even imagine how hard that must be. I lost my mom three months ago yesterday. You are right, your body feels weighted by all that grief and it is so hard to put one foot in front of the other, to make your mind focus on one thing, but the pain gets lighter. I know you will get through this. Rely on other family members if you can, lean on your friends, believe me, they don't have any clue how to comfort you unless you tell them what you need. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. April

hi my name is shelley I lost my mother on the first of August 2010 three days after we buried my father.Dad got diagnosed with cancer and we nursed him at home until his death. Little did we know a week after we lost him we would loose mum. My mother was my world my being a beautiful lady who I was lucky to be with every day of my life and that is why it hurts so much.I think in life you can be too close to some people and that is the problem i face now the emptiness and sadness my heart aches and my body is so heavy how do you go on. It feels like you are so alone

Hi Julie, I know how you feel and the emotions that you are going through! I miss my Mom everyday and it has been 17 months for my Mom and 16 months for my Dad. Mom was my best friend and always will be! the only thing that gives me comfort is knowing that she is watching over me. I know that your Mom is watching over you as well, just believe. Dana.

On August 17, 2010 was the one year anniversay of losing my mom. I am still devasted by her death. She was my cheerleader, best friend and always, always there for me and now when something happens my first thought is I should call mom and then it dawns on me yet again she is gone from my eyes forever. Yes I believe in God! I only know what I can see here. I lost my sweet dad in 2005 that broke my heart but losing them both so soon...heartbreaking.

Thank you, Tania, it sure is nice hearing that you aren't crazy, that you aren't the only one feeling the way you do. I love my husband, but he has yet to feel the loss of a parent, let alone his mother. I try to talk to him about the stuff I'm feeling, but he really doesn't get where I'm coming from. If I could keep this pain from him, I would, but I know that it's inevitable. On the subject of birthdays, so far my niece and my sister have been the only two to have to deal. My brother's and mine, as well as my nephew, are all in September. I told my sister since it was my 39th birthday I just wasn't going to have one. I'll just stay 38, thank you very much! But then I realized that I am having enough difficulty living in the now. Moving forward is the biggest hurdle for me. I like what SisterShirley said. It is the absolute truth that if I let go of the pain I have to accept her being gone. I'm just not ready to do that yet. Sometimes I feel like I may never be ready...but it's only been three months since she died, so I may just give myself some slack and do this as I need to--one minute, one hour, one day at a time.

I'm new and wanted to say hello. "hi". My mom passed three months ago after a very ugly battle with breast cancer... and along the lines of upcoming birthdays, it occured to me with mine happening in 6 days that I will be the first in my family to have to turn a year older without mom there. I pointed this out to my dad today and he said that "we've all been thinking about what Sept. 9th (my mother's birthday) will be like without her, I never really thought about what our's will be like without her" It's strange to think about your birthday after your mom is gone, she was a major factor in the event that you don't really think about cause it's "your birthday", but she was there. I've been doing ok with this new sense of normal life, but I have a feeling this birthday will a rough day.

My mom's birthday is coming up, Aug 15th; She will be 49. She didn't pass away until July 14th 2010 so this will be my first milestone without her. I just don't know how I will live my life without her...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that the pain will pass and turn into something beautiful in time. When my mother passed away suddenly and at a young age, I didn't want to let go of the pain because it meant accepting that she was gone. I didn't want to hear that it would get better in time because I didn't want to live in a world that was "okay" without her. Still, time does transform the pain into a veil of love and acceptance. On important dates, such as her birthday, day that she passed, and mother's day, it helped me to do something to commemorate her - I'd write a note on a balloon to her and send it up. Or go to the beach where I'd think of her - or take a walk alone through the woods and imagine she was walking with me. God bless!

My Mom;'s birthday is coming up.. Aug. 4. Its going to be a difficult day, but like Crystal said, I have to be strong for my 5 year old son who misses his "Nant" very much. My mother passed awau on Feb 12 2010 and Valentines Day will never be the same for me, its just to close to the most painful day of my life. This does suck!
