My mom died 4 months ago
My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More

Theresa,
I just read your comments and I'm so sorry for what you have gone through.
I don't like posting too much on the "walls" for privacy reasons for myself. Suffice to say I can relate - best way probably to say it - to how you say you feel at home.
I know how your husband felt about his dog. My family thinks I'm nuts for loving a dog so much. All I know is that I did -- she was there for me every day for 10 years. She was there for me when my father died, when girlfriends (and a wife) came & went, when my sister died. I also know exactly how you're feeling. The exact word I would use is "broken." And I can't imagine ever being happy again. According to everything I've read that is quite normal. I assume you feel OK at work because you are around people and are distracted. Hang in there and keep in touch.
Thanks Theresa. So, your husband left you, then your mother died? Then you remarried & after 16 years lost your second husband? OMG, that is awful. How have you coped??? My dog was a 3 lb Chihuahua - an ex-girlfeind brought her home one day (we lived together) and when we broke up I begged her to let me keep the dog. I'd fallen hard for the little girl. Had her 10 short years and miss her more than words can express.
