I'm also at 9 months now....cannot believe the time has passed so fast.  Still such a big hole now in my life w/out Mom around.  I had dinner this past weekend with the family that is renting my Mom's home from me.  Now THAT was really weird.  thankfully, we did not eat in the kitchen, where we usually served all the meals--that might've been too much to handle.  But, time does go on, we cannot stop it.

It has been 8 months since my mother passed. I finally feel like I am through the worst but scared about what will happen over the holidays. I took the advise of others and visited a Medium. I was skeptical but it has been a month since I saw her and I have felt the best ever. It took me five months to get in and the information she shared was not something she could have possibly known if she didn't feel my mothers energy. I was skeptical but my husband who was even more skeptical came and she told him things he was blown away by. A good friend told me that when her dad passed someone said to her "you will always have a hole in your heart but it WILL get smaller over time". I am finding this to be true even if my Mom was my daily strength and best friend. Grieving is not a fun process and would never wish this upon everyone but I guess it is a "normal" part of life. Just one I at 44 years of age have never experienced before in my life. Hugs to all and I hope you all will find peace in knowing your Moms energy is still with you. Just look and feel her presence.

Thanks for the update and support Eliza it helps that there is a small chance.  5.5 months and I am still going through the routine and grieving and reading.  Best to you.

11 months ago today I lost my mom. It's hard to believe that it's been 11 months already. Miss her every day. To those of you who are heavily grieving, know that with time, the heavy burden of grief does lift somewhat. I can think of my mom and smile now, though I don't think I'll ever stop missing her. Thinking of you all.

I miss my Mom every day as you all do. But, as I do not want to make her sad by seeing me sad, I think how fortunate I am to have had her as my mother and all the wonderful years we had together. 

It touches my heart how you are trying to make your Moms proud as I am. 

Peace and Love to All.

Yup....I don't think the Mom's would want us being sad all the time...but, it is hard.  If I have a sad moment, I try to think of something positive to offset it.  Guilt and sadness may alleviate over time, but Mom will always be missed.  Each and every day.

Yes Cynthia. Same here. We have to make Mom proud again. One little step at a time. Let's try together.

As for me my new action now is when I feel a bad or sad memory coming on. I tell myself right away "don't start" and replace it with a good memory. Yes it takes practice. but I have to do this for Mom. Yes I will always miss Mom. But I can't stay in this self pity mode full of guilt. I have to do this if not for myself but for her.

Great post Melisa. So true all of what you said.

It's been 9 months and a bit for me. I still have that dark cloud hanging over me, not so opressive as the first months, though. Everything I do, I do it because I have to. Work, being at home, I'm like a robot following orders.

I also feel resentment, because Mom was only 70 and had things been different, she could still be here. I feel like I could go with never seeing my family again (aunts and cousins), not because I don't get along with them but it's pointless without Mom here. I know she wouldn't like to see me like this. She wouldn't be proud. But I really don't know how to go on.

I wish I had talked to her about what would happen when she was gone, what did she want for me. It would be a comfort. So many things I remember and would like to talk with Mom about.

Life's so weird, whether you believe in an immortal soul or not. I only wish I didn't have to experience this pain of being away from her after being so close for so many years.
