Besides praying, what else do you do to cope with your loss?

Comment by Martha on June 10, 2013 at 1:18pm

Hello Emily,

I am sorry about your loss. I lost mine last year, as well. Nothing will ever be the same.

I pray everyday for God to give me the strength to go on.

Dear new friends:

I am honored to be in the company of such good souls. Losing one's mother is traumatic at any age. Let us help one another.

Love to all,

MD

Dear All,

My deepest condolences to everyone, new and old members.

I have gotten over the fact that no one feels the way I do, except my dad.  Not my brother or my sister.  but they did not have the same relationship I did with my mom.  So whatever.  I miss my mom, I'm sad everyday, and I cry.  and i talk about it with my therapist.  That's the way it is.

God Bless,

Mike

Kisha, there are a couple women on here, myself included, who can really relate to what you've gone through. My mom died in April. My son is 2 years old, and I am expecting our second in early July. The thought that my older son will forget the amazing grandmother he had, and that my youngest won't understand what he lost, is so hard for me to bear. My 2 year old has already changed so much in the short time since she passed, and she's missed it. She will miss so much, and they will miss out on having her in their lives.

Hello everyone,

This time last year my now 2yr old daughter and I went home to visit my mom for 3 weeks.  I was so happy to see my mom interact with my first born and her first grandchild.  My mother would take her photo album everywhere to show off her granddaughter.  When we got there we spent time going to visit her friends who knew of my daughter from my mom's pictures.  I was 7 months pregnant at the time with my son.  I had know idea that my mother wouldn't be with us within the next month.  We all enjoyed each other so much.  I miss her so much! 

Sometimes I get sad when I see my daughter doing new things and know that my mom would have gotten so much joy from watching and hearing about her.  Even as I look at my son who she was only able to see on ultrasound I am brought to tears.  He is the sweetest little baby boy ever and he melts everyone's heart.  I hate that she didn't get to hold or play with him.  It's hard because I don't want my daughter to ever forget her and I want so much for my son to understand how great of a grandmother and person she was.  It will one year next month since I last spoke with her.  I hate having to go through this life without her.

Hi,

Thanks Cynthia and Hannah. My husband does not understand this because he is not close to his family. In fact he thinks my family being so close is an exception to the rule. None of his friends have families that are close.

I feel like there is no one to be proud of me now. Just emptiness.

And I know what you mean about calling her. She always liked watching golf(she got into watching it because I did when I still lived at home) and the triple crown races.. Anything with animals like dog shows, parades etc. I thought today when the Belmont was coming on I should remind her, but next thought she is watching it from heaven.

We had to split up her things very quickly after she died because they only give 2 weeks in the elderly/hanicapped housing apartment complex she lived in to clear out her stuff so it can be rented. (They have a year long waiting list to get in.)But the whole time I kept thinking we shouldn't be taking Mom's stuff, she will want it back. It hadn't sunk in yet she was gone. I still have not touched any of it except the Christmas stuff, which I pretty much just packed away with my own.

I don't know how to do this, get along without her. I have a small pillow my sister gave her that she did not want back. It says "When all the world forgets you, there is still a Mother waiting." But that's not true anymore. At least not on Earth, but I can't think past that now. I want her back where I can see, hear and talk to her. I would do anything for that.

Hello All,

I am so sorry for you Amanda, Muuna, Kristin, Eliza, Maddy, Jeff and Jennifer.

My siblings and I used to check on my Mother for several years prior to having to care for her 24/7. I used to think it was such a bother when I had just gotten a new house and wanted to spend time there. Then I met a friend online who had just lost his Mother. He was as we are now; would have given anything to have her back. He told me to cherish her while she was here. So that is what I would think of everytime I would think she was a bother.

My aunt's children placed her in a skilled nursing facility as soon has they learned she had cancer. My Mother was in worse condition and she was still at home with caregivers 24/7. Both my siblings and I, plus paid aides. Well, it is their loss not having that time to be with her prior to her death.

I agree you never "get over it". I have lost both my parents, grandparents, a fiancee, and friends. I have never "gotten over" losing them all. I just have learned to live without them.

I too want my Mother back so badly!!! Everyday I wish I could turn back the clock to when she was healthy and I was still living with her after my Dad died. We were so close and were up until she died. My head knows she was 85yrs old and sick and she is at peace now. But my heart(and I am now in tears) wants to hear her and kiss her and fix her favorite dinner, pork roast and mashed potatoes. Get her a chocolate milk shake from Wendy's, even though she was not supposed to have them with her diabetes. Weekends are shear hell because I always spent Saturday from 5PM to Sunday at 5-6PM. Every Sunday I would ask her what she wanted for breakfast and she always said the same thing---Rice Krispies!! I once asked her who she was having the afaire with, Snap, Crackle or Pop. And without missing a beat she replied--Pop!!!

I am like all of you---my heart can't get through this; it's been 7 months and it still feels like yesterday. I want her back. And I feel so stupid being a 50 yr old woman crying for her Mother. I am not any ones little girl anymore.
