Today was the day we held my mothers funeral. I to miss having her to ask for advice. She left me in charge and the challenge is pretty overwhelming. I am very thankful that my husband was there to help me do the planning of the service. He is all I have left now. It's scary to be in charge. I have few family members left and they have not been able to help with anything except praying. That is all well and good but I really need them to understand the rock is gone. I've just been drifting without her. My job was sent overseas 12 years ago and I have worked plenty of contract jobs and saved as much as possible. I think I am having a major mid life crisis. The thought of going back to school is daunting to say the least until I get everything straightened out on the home front. I just hope they all stay quiet this year.

It's tough not having Mom around to bounce these issues off of, ask for advice, etc., etc.  I feel like I am flying blind at times.  But, got to keep the plane in the air....

I"m sorry just haven't been on here lately, still grieving my mom's death but am too overwhelmed with taking care of my dad to give anyone on here any support.

Kristen, Dia & Jeff hang in there. My mom has been gone for about 6 months. One son is about to Get his B.A. and another is making bad choices that cause us grief and turmoil. I have thought about this group many times, but just have not taken the time to write. I realize that like Jeff, there is still so much going on in our lives. It doesn't stop when our loved ones die. But, it does make things harder to deal with. At least for me. I too wonder what my mom would think of my decisions regarding my kids and life decisions in general. I always looked to mom for advice and approval.

It's been a bit quiet here lately; personally, I got swept up in family crises as my Mom's older sister took a bad fall before the Xmas holiday.  After hospitals, rehab, more hospitals, etc., I got her placed in an assisted living facility.  I kept thinking about my Mom during all of this...would she approve?  Is it OK?  I don't know for certain, but I hope she'd realize I was doing my best.

Why has this group not been active of late? . I'm not doing so well. Terrible depression, anxiety, grief. Feel fed up . Need to talk to someone. It's so so hard living without my beloved mum. She was everything to me. It's nearly 7 months since she passed . I feel like the world has come to an end. The initial 3 months I was in a state of shock and disbelief. Then grif hit me full force and I'm worse. Ill health makes it all so much harder to bear. Thank you.

Missy, I can't imagine what you're going through. I wish I knew something to say that could comfort you. I'm so sorry for your losses.

My Mom's been gone 9 months and I'm still a mess. I'm planning my wedding, which is bizarre and surreal, and I know I'm supposed to be happy but without her to share it with it just loses its meaning. I found out today that my father won't be coming and I took it really hard. He's never been there for me and it was the first time I'd spoken to him since my Mom died. I thought if there was ever a time he could step up for me, this would be it. And he said no. All I want to do is talk to my Mom and I can't! I'd trade it all for her.

Today marks one full year since my Mom's passing. Where did the time go.  RIP Ma, you are missed. Positive thoughts to you all.

Wendy and missy, let's support each other.  Keep talking to people and also do your own grieving the way you want to.

@ Missy, venting is good, and you are right, this is the place to do it. Even though the road to healing may be hard at times, I know you will get through this. We are all hear to listen and to offer support. Remember everyone heals at their own pace and time. Don't let anyone make you feel like you should be better. They don't know what you have been through. IM me anytime!
