"Amy,
I am so sorry for your loss. The journey of caregiving is extremely difficult. The loss of our especially loved dear ones is unspeakable.
There are so many different ideas about what happens to us when we die. Religion teaches many different…"

My Sister
Three months ago today I lost my sister. She was beautiful inside and out. She struggled with an addiction to pills for the longest time and it ultimately took her life. I miss her so much and it makes me angry because she should be here. I just don't know what to do.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know this site doesn't always have a lot of activity, but it does help to read the postings and know you're not alone. There are also camps you can go to like camp kerry, for loved ones who have lost someone. I took my kids last year after they lost their dad to overdose and we are going again this year. It's especially good for kids to know they are not alone in their loss.
I hope you are doing better now that some time has passed and they you were able to let go of some of the anger. It's a process for sure.
Take care,
Nikki -

Lea,
I understand how you feel. I lost my brother, and I just feel like you have to take things one day at a time. Most days I am angry, and I miss him terribly, but there are times I think about how he would want me to be. I remember he sent me a birthday card saying enjoy every moment of life. I hope that God allows me to get there one day and I pray that you have made it there.

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Yes, I was looking at something that popped up on my Yahoo news feed. It was an article naming 106 celebrities who have passed away in 2019. So many names and faces that I remembered. Now they are gone, and they aren't coming back. Their time…"
"Brett so true she was my security blanket
I feel like I have no one to lean on that understood me like her
You know what keeps coming in my mind. How true it is and scary that everything has a beginning and an end."

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"M, the problem is that our security blankets were ripped away.
Like you, sometimes I am glad to be sad. I feel like I am closer to my mom when I am crying. At least, her memory is fresher with me when I am in that zone.
I feel like the hard reality…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Theresa, millions, billions of people have lost their moms. Sometimes someone will tell me that they have lost their mom, too, but they were able to deal with it, and they wonder why I haven't dealt with it as well. This may sound like an…"
M Adams commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Me too ...I was sitting marking a paper yesterday and suddenly realized that I can’t see or talk to my mother about this or anything else and the tears came. But I’m glad to think of her, in a way I can be glad to be sad sometimes.…"

M Adams commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Definitely a colder world now. I like the image of the security blanket — like, as we go forward, we will always keep it but eventually may be able to wash it, fold it nicely, and put it in some place of honour close at hand but without…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"The world just became a colder place when my mom died. I just remember feeling like all was right with the world when my mom was in the next room. "
Sue Toler commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"It is such a traumatic event, especially when you have had a wonderful Mom. It is so hard knowing she is gone. Knowing this is permanent. There is no one that can fill the void she left. My brother was close to Mom, but he…"
Amy replied to Amy's discussion How do I get unstuck?"I am not a believer and nor was he. We covered the bases just incase though. We were both raised Catholic. That is all besides the point though. "
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"While I never forget that my mom is gone, for some reason it just hits me over the head sometimes. Just out of the blue I'll be like, "Mom is gone." It's horrible. It's ever present. And the thing is that it is always with…"

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"There is no doubt that it is anxiety. In fact, I think we are experiencing fight or flight. Since birth my mom had been my security blanket."
