I'm really sorry to hear about your mother (even though I'm sure you're tired of hearing that phrase)...I can relate, though. I lost my mother in October. I'm 19 years old with no children, so I can't relate to the children aspect of your story but I understand how you're feeling. I'm just now starting to pull out of the numbness stage and into actually feeling the pain of the loss, and it's incredibly difficult. 

I know it probably doesn't help much, but please feel free to contact me if you need to talk to someone. You'll be in my prayers. <3

I know what you mean. I can't wait until I'm at the point where I can remember good times/memories without constantly being plagued with the looming sadness. Those days will come in time, I'm sure... they just seem kind of distant at this point.

And the same goes to you, as well. I'm always a good listening ear if you need someone to talk to at anytime.

Kahila,I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom on May 29 2011. I can totally relate to what you are going through. My sibblins are handling it much better than I and I find it hard to talk to them about it anymore. The other day I texted my sister about how sad I was feeling and how I just wanted to  give up. Her response was, is it your husband causing you to feel this way? I was totally taken aback because I thought I didn't need to explain the source of my pain. I also live for my daughter, I'm in agony all day everyday but I have to stay on this earth for her sake. I had taken up drinking a glass of wine (or two) whenever I woke up with horrible thoughts about my mom but now I can't do that since I'm on a very strict diet. I'm finding myself facing every raw emotion several times a day. This is a tough journey and even tougher when you don't have anyone to turn to. We are here for you; this is a safe place to vent. I really appreciate everyone here.
