Linda, i am sorry for your loss. my mom didn't have an estate so i didn't have to go through that but it was hard to go through her clothes and belongings. I did that back in sept. and my sister in law helped me. she and her daughter ended up with most of moms clothes because they fit them and not me. I took a few of her clothes for myself. I was dreading it so bad but it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. My mom was a clothing hoarder and there was a massive amount of clothing. I am wishing you all the best and my prayers will be with you and your family.

Hi, I am new to the group. My mom passed away suddenly July 30, 2012. I miss her so much. My most pressing issue is that my siblings and I are having an estate sale this weekend (much too early in my opinion), and I am afraid that I will break down during the sale. I am just not emotionally ready. Is there anyone else in the group with a similar experience?

Dear Ken,

My condolences.  My mom passed on 9/28/12 and my life changed and will never be the same.  My mom, like your mom, was amazing.  She had an amazing life.  God bless you, our Moms and everyone.

ken, i am so sorry for your loss. I sometimes think that it was a good thing that my mom passed suddenly. That way i didn't have to watch her suffer more. Believe me i know that my mom suffered enough but i couldn't bare the thought of her going through what she was going through any more. She was a strong woman but that was only on the outside. She wouldn't let you know what was on her mind or how she was feeling. I wish she would have let me take her to the hospital when i asked her to go but she was stubborn and she didn't want another bill because she didn't have insurance. I should have pushed it and made her go and maybe just maybe she would be alive today. I miss her so much. Your right you will always miss her. But we have to trust and have faith that we will see our moms again one day when our time comes. I wish you all the best in the coming months and years. I am only 4 months into life without my mom so it is still fresh on my mind.

My mom passed away on oct 21. She was 80. She had liver disease and was dealing with those issues everyday but she would ALWAYS say that she felt good whenever I would call her which was twice a day ( she lived in assisted living back east). My brother and I had visited her a few times this past year and we had wonderful talks and sweet times just hanging out. Her death was not sudden nor was it unexpected but it still has left an open wound in my heart. From the moment I received the phone call Sunday morning in bed my life completely changed. I know my mother is in Heaven because I can feel her presence around me. And I know I will see her someday. I have been on a roller coaster of emotions since her death but I know how much she loved me and my brother and it comforts me. I will ALWAYS miss her while I am alive but i know that we will see each other in the next life. I trust in GOD and believe in Christ so I have faith in that. God bless all of you have lost a mother.

Mary It gets dark here at 5pm since the clocks were moved back. It's the worst time of day for me. Tonight there was a beautiful fullish moon and i couldn't even bear to look at it as it reminded me so much of mum. She always used to say i brightened her life like the brightest of full moons. My little niece carved a pumpkin today but halloween is just not the same without mum. It's 40 days since she's gone and the pain in my heart is so unbearble. I miss her more than anything in the world. Hugs to you all and lots of love. You are not alone.x

I am really not looking forward to tomorrow.  It is my moms birthday and the first of her birthdays that she won't be here to celebrate it.  I used to take her to lunch and would take her a white cake cupcake if I could find one!  She loved white cake, not yellow cake, white cake, white icing, but she was diabetic so I tried to make sure she did not eat too much cake.  The weather is so depressing as well, its not helping.  I don't even want to get any candy to pass out to the trick or treaters, it just doesn't feel right.

jennifer, I wish i could level out too but i know that i have a long way to go. I understand how you feel with it being 100% worse now. I just wish that i had my meds to take. My step mom is being a meanie about it and won't send certain meds because of them being questionable and those are the meds i need. i couldn't pick them up myself because i would have had to pay full price on them and i don't have that kind of money. Drinking does nothing for me anymore and i agree that i wish food would make me sick. I still pick up a cigarette and smoke it but my husband is trying to help me quit. mainly because i am so much like my mom and have health issues, he wants me to get healthy but somedays i just don't care anymore. My daughter is 7 and she decided that when we moved she wanted to spend the rest of the school year with her daddy so it is like double the loss. The only thing that is keeping me going is that I will get to see my daughter for christmas. I will never see my mom again. This will be the first holidays without her and i don't know how i am going to handle it. Her birthday was hard enough. anyway, I hope that you all have a great day.

Sonia, don't apologize at all and you are not rambling! I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's not easy at all! I've tried picking up drinking but I have an intolerance to alcohol now, I think it's the medicine that I'm taking that is causing it. I too have Bipolar and anxiety so the mood swings never stop but since Mom has been gone, it's been 100% worse! I used to smoke socially but now it makes me sick..I sure do wish food would do the same! I just want to be leveled out!

I feel like eating all the time and smoking.. I haven't picked up drinking as of yet but sometimes i would rather be wasted than to live in my normal day to day life. I have two types of depression, bi-polar, and anxiety disorder so i know what to look for in myself. I know that i am starting on a downward spiral because i haven't been taking my meds like i am supposed to because i just can't afford them right now. but i have a great husband who takes good care of me. my dad is supposed to be sending me my meds soon so that i can get back on track. like i said in my earlier post things have been so different since mom passed away. I know that she will always be with me in my heart but i am selfish and want her here in person. Sometimes i don't know what to do with myself and i sleep all day then there are some days that i am perfectly fine. I just want some sense of normalcy in my life again. My husband is going through a bankruptcy  so we lost our house and my car and moved to texas to start over again.  I don't know anyone in texas and i feel lonely most days. My husband is in school and is gone during the morning hours. That is when i miss my mom the most. when she was still alive i would have just gone over to her house and talked. I don't have that option anymore. i'm sorry i am rambling again.
