My worst dreams are when I dream my mm has passed. I wake up and for the first few seconds I tell myself thank goodness it was only a dream, then I realize it wasn't a dream, my mom really did pass. I dream of my mother a lot. It's awful. I have always been a vvid dreamer, but this is like nightly torture

I wake up at night and say mom where are you? I miss you, but I know where you are.

Its very hard, I just keep thinking, I am going to miss her forever, I hope she knows that.

Yoga has helped me, I notice if I only practice Monday through Friday and not on the weekend, I fall apart more.

Lindsay, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so glad that you are reaching out to us and also seeing a therapist to help get you through this difficult time. Grief is not an easy road to travel and one that should not be travelled alone.
When I lost my Mom who was also 68 I ended up in hospital for 3 days. Almost a year later I still see a therapist, take medication and navigate life day by day.
Please take comfort n knowing you are not alone in your journey

I completely understand:-(... My mom struggled for a month with many ups and downs. It was so hard to watch her be in so much pain and discomfort. I would give anything for just one more chance to say how much she means to me...to hug her, to tell her "I love you"....it's definitely a day by day process...the first few weeks I felt like I couldn't breathe, but that has eased some...Hugs to you xxx

Lindsay, I am so sorry about the sudden loss of your mom. She sounds like an amazing person. To lose her so suddenly is devastating...my heart and hugs go out to you...take good care of yourself...

I lost my Mom, my very best friend in the world this past June 8. Suddenly, at 68. I found her. 3 months before my wedding. I am devastated. I am for the first time in my life seeing a therapist. I really can't say one way or the other if it doing anything for me, but I'll keep trying. I wanted to get involved in something where I could chat with other people who are going through a similar loss. Losing my Mom has been just the most agonizing experience of my life. I miss her every single second of every day. We talked about EVERYTHING, we went everywhere together. I saw her almost every single day, she lived across the street from me. If she wasn't staying, she'd just pop in to say hello and kiss her granddaughter. We spoke on gchat, phone and email throughout the day, every day. My daughter was her pride and joy. She was not ready to go and I am sure of this. She wanted to see her "pumpkin pie" grow up and to see my fiance and I possibly grow as a family. I am not seeing a light at the end of this tunnel. People say time and I do understand that in time it may get slightly easier, but how can I ever be the same or even close to as happy as I was without my Mom? How will I ever smile at my wedding? The thought of never hugging her again or seeing her smile just kills me. The void I feel is just paralyzing.

Caroline, may I talk with you?

I can't believe that about the grief counsellor! In my humble opinion, it seems to me, that a good counsellor listens, they shouldn't dispense advice on how and when you should grieve. I'm discovering through all this, that grieving changes second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, and so on. It is a very personal and individual process. Telling you that death is a part of life and to basically get on with it or you will have trouble with other losses throughout your life, is irresponsible and lacks a real understanding of what it means to lose someone you love so dearly.
You and this whole community have helped me and I am just so grateful to have found this support. Thank you for telling your story...my heart goes out to you...
