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.

Jeff, Wendy, Missy...I can so relate to your recent comments. It's been 4 years (Dec 28), since I lost my best friend, "mom", there is truly not a day that goes by that I do not think of her and miss her. I still cry often, but it is not that gut wrenching painful cry that took a very long time to go away. I don't believe we will ever feel "normal" again, we just adjust to the new normal ...amazingly...even begrudgedly. And it has been my experience as well that unless the people/friends around you have suffered a significant loss themselves, it is impossible for them to understand how profoundly our lives have been so drastically changed.

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".

Comment by Danny on February 16, 2014 at 7:56pm

It seems we all miss the advice a lot and it really makes things so hard. 

Comment by Jean on February 14, 2014 at 9:28pm

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.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
