Appreciate all the thank yous, but prefer to have you all take action to honor our Moms, and tell us what you are doing to do so. In my case, one of the actions I am taking is to look at life as Mom does, throught the eyes of God, and every one whether here, or else where with love and compassion.

Live as if your Mom is here. Because she is. And, she wants us to go on bravely. Get into the spiritual, it is the only true reality there is. Click on amazon.com, buy Jouney of Souls by Michael Newton, it is a start. I am thankful for my mother's spiritually among many things. It is a daily practice for our family. Let the suffering lead you to the spiritual path. As Eckhart Tolle tells us, turn this crucifixion into your resurrection. Peace and Love to All.

Thank you Martha for your comment. It spoke volumes to my life.
I know we have to go on, it's what they'd want. I have cried so,
you would think I have no more tears! Instead of my moms death being a total loss for me, I want to turn this into gain. I will work hard to do that. It will not be easy, but my mom and best friend would want me to. Blessings to everyone.

Thank you, Dia and Danny. Martha, I envy your conviction. If I knew with any certainty that my Mom's spirit endures, I would not feel this hopeless.

Jeff and Cynthia make very good points about this coming from people who have not been through it and that is where/why this comes from.   I realized this early on and stopped talking to them about my situation or grief.  But I changed their role in my team and it has worked to some extent.

I miss my Mom, that is a forever fact. As I know Spirit is Eternal, I want her to know that I honor her life, and refused to get destroyed by her passing. I want her to know I am brave for her. I have cried so long, enough tears for myself. Now, is time to dust myself off from all this self-inflicted suffering, enough already for me. If not, her life, her efforts would have been in vain. I am my mother's daughter, I am strong, I shall go on in her memory until it is our time to be together again.

I don't get how people expect you to be a stoic, unemotional mannequin about a month after a parent passes.  It's just unreal.  but, typically, this is from people who have not been thru it....emotions creep up on you at unexpected, unusual times, I've found.

Hi Kristin. I hear you. My humble opinion : at this point it really does'nt matter what people think or what their reactions are . What I'm saying is so what if you had a breakdown amidst a bunch of people? You are human. Your loss , grief and pain is very real . If they are uncomfortable with your expression of grief its pretty much their problem. Many of us feel the same emotions . You are not alone. Living without my mum is the hardest thing i've ever had to do. Please share your sorrow with us. We all care. Hugs.
