My mom passed away in ICU on June 18th feels like yesterday.I am so sad depressed and hard to cope,

This is hardest thing in my life.I was a only child and close with my mom.

talk to her everyday.Now no phone calls only dreams.Can not believe she is gone.I am 45 she was 63.It hurt as she was trying to hang on to life..She was using a breathing mask to breath eyes closed could not talk.She was moaning for a half a day scares me to wonder if it was pain.I still see the vison in my mind and dreams..I feel i cried a waterfall so hurt inside...

I get a foggy feeling and so sad it is just hard to do anything she liked to do I feel guilty and wished I could have done more with her that last year but she was sick on and off..

I wonder if she is watching over me.This is so painful and I cry at times other times i feel numb..

ANYONE ELSE GET THIS WAY..

 bridge mary,  i talked to my mom all the time too. i still want to pick up the phone & it hurts more & more when i realize i cant.  my mom was 93. i am 55. i resent people who tell me that she lived so long & i should be grateful that i had her for so long.  well actually i am grateful but it doesnt take away the pain.  it never will. i know that foggy feeling. with me, it seems like my vision is cloudy.  i will never look at anything the same way anymore. the world will never be the same.  i have to believe that my mom is watching over me. & your mom is watching over you.  its impossible to think any other way cuz if i do that  would mean she is gone forever & that thought is too hard to belive.

 

I feel exactly like you.The phone sits on side of bed mom would call and I would awake any hour.So sad no rings..I feel like i am in another world at times it is so scary and sad..Same here the world is never going to be same after mom has left.I feel something is missing all the time.It hard to do things she liked as i feel i am leaving her out.Here too I feel so alone and missing part of my heart..Thanks for your kind words Sandee...

It is all normal and I truly understand your pain.  I was not an only child but very very close to my mom and I miss her dearly and often cry.  The crying is good, it is a natural part of grieving.  I often find myself picking up the phone and calling my mom as I used to to let her know of things going on.  I go visit her grave often and talk to her and still go to her house and just sit and talk to her like she was still there.  It is very very hard, but it does get better.  You just take 1 day at a time and don't let people tell you that you should be over it in a month or so, it takes years sometimes to get through the grieving process I am told.  Go to counseling if you can or talk to a friend or minister.

I plan a group meeting at the church Thursday,I feel that may help me some.It is hard and I feel so sad and I cry myself to sleep at times.I miss the rining phone at night.Now All i have is memories I plan to make a memory box all of her.Life can be hard and this is one hard thing for me..

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
