Today i went to go hear a voice mail i have saved since mom passed in march and it was gone so it got deleted and not sure how. I am so upset it was the only thing I had that had her voice on it. I feel so lost now ..just sad i cried and just feel a hole in my heart.. sigh
I am so lonely today. She lived with me, I cared for her. She died just a little over a month ago and I am so friggin lonely.
Hi Margie . I would like say I'm sorry. I have a sadness too inside of me.My mom left my side in May the night before Mothers day.I'm like you I also don't see the point of anything anymore.I don't see things the same or feel things like I used to.
I just have this big void in my life where there once was a life my life! My life was my mom,my best friend. I am now alone,yes I have a husband but I don't have my sunshine..I pray that we all find some comfort in something that easys the pain even if it only for a day.Kindest regards Kim
Margie S, I would be careful on this. Don't cut out others on the holidays. I know you're hurting. I was hurting after my mother passed away. I was her caregiver for 7 years. My brothers wanted me to go out to dinner for Christmas. I went, may not have enjoyed it, but I still went. You don't have to stay long at Christmas events, just make an appearance. Don't let anyone keep you there any longer than you want. Keep things in balance, don't completely withdraw.
I am not looking forward to Christmas either. I already told my husband that I am not going to celebrate Christmas, that I don't want gifts. My mom is not here to celebrate with me. You are right life is very different for me. I feel like I am a different person. I feel empty. There were a lot of things that I liked to do. I don't feel like doing them now. I think about my mom every day of my life. I cry every day. She passed away on October 8. I pray for her every day. I ask God to hug and kiss her for me and also I ask him to tell her that I love and miss her so much.
I didn't know any of the victims of the Paris attacks, yet I feel like this tragedy has intensified my grief for my Mom. I'm grateful that she passed very peacefully in her sleep. I can only send my love and prayers for the families of those who died in Paris and those who are wounded. It just doesn't seem to be enough. I'm trying to get over these feelings of anger at such an evil crime. Sending love and prayers to all of you, too. We will heal. But we will never be the same without our mothers. Life is different now. Not looking forward to Christmas because it was my Mom's favorite holiday.
Danny,
I am not super concerned about my own health, but I know my sister is quite worried - like you are. A lot of my relatives have died from cancer. I am adopted, hence why I lack the concern my sister has. She has been into the doctor and they assured her that it is normal to feel anxious/worried. They just said to monitor her health as she normally would, beyond that there is not much that can be done.
I think losing someone so close to you makes you face your own mortality. It can be a difficult thing. The good news is that we can be proactive in our pursuit of health. While increasing physical activity, eating right, engaging in hobbies, and staying connected socially/spiritually will not stop all illness/accidents it can go a long way in increasing well-being. Before Mom's death I struggled with anxiety, even more so now. I know since I have lost mom it has been really hard to keep up with these things (I have to constantly remind myself), but when I do it makes a big difference in how I am feeling.
I am sorry that you feel so alone. I think having social support is really important. Please know that we are here to lend an ear, if you ever need it.
me am quite alone so nervous and worried about my health too.
