Ann- I totally understand the feel alone all the time.  I have a partner, but that doesn't ease the alone feeling I have.  It's hard for me to sometimes just to get up in the morning and go through the day, I don't work, I am disabled, yet I do have responsibilities around here.

Good luck with going back to work, maybe and I say MAYBE being busy at work will help a bit with that alone feeling.  All I know is I haven't found a way to rectify that for myself.

I go back to work in the morning.  I feel alone at work, I am alone at home, I am just alone.  How long until I see my mom again?  I feel like life is a prison sentence.

I thought it was only me, that when i hear of a famous person passing, it is sad, but, i don't get all upset. I didn't know them. But, my mother was the closest person in my life for almost 47 years. I too turn to my dog, I always talk to her about our mom.

I think some of those people who seem really insensitive probably never had a really close relationship with their moms and, therefore, can't fathom why we grieve so. Still, when we are vulnerable, it's best just to keep our distance. And that celebrity thing! What's up with that?!?

James - thank you.  I guess I'm holding up okay.  I hope you are holding up okay too.  It does seem to be a little easier now that Christmas is over, except for that big old tree sitting in the living room reminding me of how much my Mom loved Christmas, and my Dad too.

Jennifer - you are so right - I get so mad at people for going on and on and on for months about celebrities they didn't even know and then telling me to get over it, because I lost my Mom.  Get real!

I'm guessing now that the holidays are over, the storm will probably be a little less choppy...at least until mother's day. How are you all holding up?

That's sweet MSB! I hope I am able to do something like that and not worry about other people's opinions. People will never understand until it happens to them! Exactly Judy, they expect us to just get over it but I can't do that! That was my Mother for goodness sake! I see people get more upset over celebrities, who they have never met, and go on and on about it. Yes it's sad that they passed but they want to pass judgement on me for grieving over someone who I lived with for 22 years!

MSB - I love that story! I think it's so touching that you did all of that for your mother. I bet she heard you singing to her. I think it's really very touching that you honored her in all of those ways. Keep it up!

Jennifer -- Yeah, my best relationship is still with my dog, too! Some of my friends are failing to understand that I can't "just get over it," so I spend less time with them now.

My mother died the day after Mother's Day, 2012. I wish I could stop time so I wouldn't have to experience that date. I've already endured my BD, her BD, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, which was when we celebrated Christmas last year due to my dog's having cancer and my being out of town. I wish I had known then that she was sick, but one one knew. That was the last time I saw her before she went into the hospital and never left.

I was embarrassed to tell my friends what i did for my mother's birthday. It was a hard day for me, i went to the cemetary twice, since I live 5 minutes away. I bought her a card and i put flowers and a Starbucks card on her grave. That evening i put a candle in a cupcake and sang to her. i thought i was nuts, but, I couldn't let her sweet day go.

Yeah or maybe take out. I don't have anybody to go with me, all my relationships are gone or very toxic for me, except for my Cairn Terrier, Toby.
