indeed building a support system is vital to endure..if it's already there then it's really good.

I don't think you can prepare...I know I tried; ran it thru my mind many, many times.  Still, it was incredibly hard to accept.  New "normal" wont' be like it was before...just hitting a reset button with fewer people now in your life.  It's really the pits, but you endure.  Thinking about Mom a lot lately...since Easter is coming up.

I do not know if it is possible to mentally prepare for the loss of a parent.  The pain is so much more intense and deep than I could ever have imagined.  I think the best we can do is talk/chat/blog or whatever and slowly things will get a bit easier.  I am by no means done grieving, but with the support group I have been attending, I am not feeling so lost or alone.

Its been 2 years since I lost my mom and I sure hope the rut I am in is not my "new normal!"  I'm not anything like my old self.  I kind of miss that old me  but don't know how to get her back or if it is even possible.

Mary, I feel the same way, that now it's ''only me''. It's that feeling of being left behind. I send you a hug, be strong.

I've read many times that one has to find a ''new normal'', after our loved ones have passed, because life can't be the same. After more than one year I haven't found that new normal. Life always has a bit of a sad edge nowadays.

Its been so very long since I have been on here.  My mom passed away in March of 2012.  I just got through the second year anniversary but this year I had to get through it alone because I lost my only sister this past December and her husband just 19 days later and then my father in law just a little over 2 weeks ago.  This online support group was a huge help to me when I lost my mom. Right now I am just trying to figure out why so much loss, it makes no sense and frankly angers me that now it is just me-my dad, mom, and only sister-all taken from me.

Sandee, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of mom. I can say it is devastating when a parent leaves us. Frankly, I will never quite be the same. My parents both died within a year of each other. As Danny mentions, take it one moment at a time. It is truly the only way. I too believe we will see our parents again one day. Sometimes the pain of missing our mom's is almost too much. But hang in there. She would be proud of how strong you have been since her passing. Blessings to you!

it is 'really' slow Wendy for you since there was not much of a gap.  Perfectly ok.  One moment at a time.
