I'd have to agree with Lisa on all said including the people around you. I don't take it too seriously if they fail to understand what has happened as they are not experts in the area of grief and survival. It's been real hard the last 7-8 months to adjust. I'm not there yet at all.
Eliza & Jeff I can totally relate. It's been six months since I lost my mom and best friend. I too have accepted that I will miss her forever! I have easier days, and some hard days. But, her memory will be there forever. I cry less, but I still cry. I too will just take things one day at a time. It's funny how quickly people forget the huge loss we have endured. I told someone just the other day how hard the last year has been on me and they asked why. This is someone who knows me well. I truly think you have to lose a loved one you are really close to to truly understand.
There's never a time limit...the memory is always there, in one way or another. But, day to day, it does get a bit easier.
Congratulations, Eliza.
Hello Friends,
Checking in. It's been 1 year and 3 months (tomorrow) since Mom passed away. Some days, it is easier, and others, it's still hard. I think I've accepted that I will always miss her. I am missing her more now because I found out recently that I am expecting. If all goes well, I'm going to be a mom. I am thrilled and elated and also terribly sad that she isn't here to share this joy and this news with me. For those of you who have children, how do you cope with being a parent after the loss of your mom?
Wishing you all peace; for those of you who are in the beginning throes of grief, do know that with time, it does get easier. Also know that there is no "time limit" to your grief. Allow yourself to feel it and experience it, and don't rush anything. Take all the time you need.
I've been reading all the posts and it's like sharing what I feel with all of you. It's been 1 year and a bit more than a month since mom passed. The pain is very much there, yesterday someone asked me about her and I had to tell him she had passed last year, but that was all I could say because I realized I was going to start to cry. I still can't talk about it.
I understand where you are coming from Jean. I too am in the same position as you are. I refer to it as me being the "responsible adult".
It seems we all miss the advice a lot and it really makes things so hard.
Today was the day we held my mothers funeral. I to miss having her to ask for advice. She left me in charge and the challenge is pretty overwhelming. I am very thankful that my husband was there to help me do the planning of the service. He is all I have left now. It's scary to be in charge. I have few family members left and they have not been able to help with anything except praying. That is all well and good but I really need them to understand the rock is gone. I've just been drifting without her. My job was sent overseas 12 years ago and I have worked plenty of contract jobs and saved as much as possible. I think I am having a major mid life crisis. The thought of going back to school is daunting to say the least until I get everything straightened out on the home front. I just hope they all stay quiet this year.
