Hello Olive. This may sound very strange but welcome to our club that none of us ever wanted to be a part of. The loss of my Mom has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. The good thing about this site is that all of us truly do understand your feelings, your fear, your loneliness and even anger. We all go through it in different stages. I am very sorry you are now a part of this unfortunate club but I am glad you are here. You will find peace and comfort and help through the words of others who are right where you are or from those who have had a little more time to understand and make sense of how to live without our Moms.
Olive I am sorry for your loss
You will survive, I am, and my mom was all I had
I myself take one day at a time
It has been one year and almost one month, I still cry
I found that being on this site knowing that I am not alone has been helpful.
Lisa, I feel the same way, my life is so lonely without my mom to call and talk about my life.
I thought after the first year things would seem better, but I have cried more this year, because I know she is not coming back.
Sometimes I say I know she is happy and safe, but I have no one to talk to like her and I used to talk, every day, numerous times, just to say mom, where were you what are you doing.
I'm trying hard to realize this is my new life.
Somehow I have found strength I didn't know I had. I made it through the holidays with being an emotional mess. Much thanks to my siblings for all of us making the effort to be together. My birthday was Jan. 3rd and it was my first without Mom. It was hard. I have a saved voicemail message from Mom singing happy birthday to me a few years ago and I waited until late that night to play it to myself. It made me immediately fall apart for awhile but that's ok. I needed to do that. The one year mark is coming up in Feb. and I both dread it and can't wait for it to come and be gone so most of the "firsts" without Mom will be done. My life is so very different without her and changed in ways I never thought it would be. There will always be an empty feeling, an unsettled feeling that things aren't the way they are supposed to be. I know this will always be with me but I am learning to live with this new normal and I feel guilty for it. I know I shouldn't but I do. I wish you all a comforted day.
I have good and bad days, some what if days, I surely hope things get better.
I made it through the day, thank you Heather.
I guess time will heal, I hope so.
today is one year for my mom
instead of being sad I am going to live it like she would and be kind, compassionate and happy, at least I will try to
ty sorry for your loss also
