Crystal K commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"The indifference is hard. I hate it when people ask me how Zim doing or how lifw is... I just want to scream at them “how do you think it is!” My boss constantly asks me and everytime I just respond with a “fine” or…"

Crystal K commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Now Im more worried about my anger/resentment issues because its gotten to a point where I am so envious of others and Ive also avoided contact with family members because I havent forgiven them. And I know they must be going through their own guilt…"
Crystal K commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Brett, yes we do torture ourselves with guilt but like you said its so hard not too... I too feel so guilty over little things... I feel guilty just smiling sometimes... You’re right I do go longer periods now without thinking about my mother,…"
Crystal K commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Thank you guys. Happy birthday to your mom Theresa. Brett, I am dreaming of my mom less and less frequent. I wonder if it is our memories with them fading :( I thank God for pictures but sometimes I know I am slowly losing the…"
Joy left a comment for Crystal K"Hi Crystal, happy birthday. My birthday is also tomorrow and I also dream of my mom occasionally. I dreamed of her last night. She's been gone a little over a year and it's not gotten any better for me. I'm functioning, but I think of…"

Crystal K commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, reading your posts was like going through all my feelings of guilt the first few weeks after my mom died. All the times I was horrible to her, the times I got frustrated when she wouldn't eat right or when I complained about…"

Profile Information
- About my Loss:
- I lost the most important person to me 10 days after my 25th birthday- my mom. Still dealing with all the emotions that come with such a significant loss. Its hard, very hard. Life feels empty. I don't enjoy much anymore. Any joy I have is overcast with a dark cloud of sadness. I'm angry, and sad. I have lost others but nothing could prepare me for this.
Now I don't know what the word is to describe the amount of pain and abandonment I feel from losing my mom. Feel like I don't have anyone to rely on. Never was close to my dad. Sisters moved out 10 years ago so although I love them, I am not very close as I once was.
If it was possible I would exchange places with her in a heartbeat, not because of how painful it is- but so she could've lived longer and enjoyed her grandchildren (my sister's kids). She was such a selfless mother, grandmother, sister, caretaker- that she did not deserve to go out the way she did.

Id love yo exchange stories sometime. Also Im working on a project for my masters degree and need to have contact with 5 people and ask them a few questions.

Crystal, like you, I talk to my mom daily. Whether she can hear me is unknown. I do believe God hears me, so I ask him to tell my mom how much I love her, miss her and wish I could see her to give her a hug. I'd give up everything I own to see her again

Fran replied to Nicole's discussion Lost my husband the father of my kids and bestfriend . in the group Lost My Spouse..."Nicole, I'm almost 4 years out(next month). At this point the pain is generally duller. Every so often, and it doesn't have to be a birthday or anniversary, something triggers a sharper pain. My life with my husband almost seems like it…"
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Bluebird, Trina & Alexis,
Thanks for your thoughts. Life will never be the same again.
I am so glad to have such wonderful friends on this forum.
God Bless You All."
ALEXIS commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Linda and Bluebird I have been feeling the same way. At work I am getting in all sorts of holiday items and it is hard for me to look at it or think of the holidays. This will be my first without my husband. I'm not quite sure…"
JenShep replied to Nicole's discussion Lost my husband the father of my kids and bestfriend . in the group Lost My Spouse..."Some days, yes it does. And some days it’s worse than the day you lost him. I’m two years out."
Trina Mamoon commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Alas, time DOES NOT heal all wounds. Perhaps it heals most wounds, but not the loss of one's soulmate, the love of their life. Those people who say this, don't know any better. Either they don't understand what a soulmate is, or they…"
bluebird commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."I understand, Linda. It's the same for me. ((((Hugs))))"
Monty replied to Kyle McKay's discussion Lost my wife in the group Lost My Spouse..."Hi Kyle
Im so sorry for your loss and the pain your going though.
its hard at the start, especially if you don't feel you have any one to talk to.
you have a sympathetic ear in here any time you need / wish to talk, i know its not the same as…"
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Here I am at a another Holiday Season coming up. All it is, is my six Christmas without my beloved Husband.

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I would say that your mom was fortunate that she did not suffer that way. Sometimes a person will suffer for years before they die. I am certainly glad that I got to be with my mom at the end and tell her that I loved her every day, but it was…"
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I know you know I did not mean it in that way, but of course not, my question, should I be thankful she did not suffer and lay in a bed and me have to watch her suffer and be able to do nothing as so many had to do on this site. But as you…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Theresa, I don't know if we can be thankful that our mom's died under any circumstances. "
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"True Brett
Should I be thankful? My mom died in an instant she was herself until the last minute. Some say I’m lucky I didn’t have to watch her suffer. But my mom used to always say we suffer everyday in this earth.
I would have been…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"No, she didn't everyone, good or bad, dies. Few people have an easy death."
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Wow Avi I believe in karma but I’m not sure that your mom has done anything wrong present or past that would make her have gotten that disease"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Thanks Theressa. Yes hope the questions will be answered. In my country, lot of importance is given to Karma and it is believed that whatever you sow and you will reap the same. Not sure how this karma cycle is analyzed and who decided if this was a…"
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Yes Avi That’s what we all have to do we have to go on with our lives it’s so much easier said than done I cry sometimes uncontrollably I have hope that one day every question or any uncertainty we have will be answered"
