Its especially hard when you need a woman's perspective or advice, female friends and sisters are good but its never the same as your MOM.

I also understand and feel so very angry...I want my Mom,she is gone and I still have not fully accepted it.I find myself picking up the phone to call her,have thoughts that I will run by and see her on my way home from work...I miss her so very much,I am empty without her.

Exactly! I would give anything to have mine back! I know it's part of the process but I didn't know if they experienced it A LOT! I don't want to become a bitter person, but I feel it coming if I don't change. So if anyone who has went through that stage and isn't like that anymore, some tips would be greatly appreciated!

Yes Jennifer I feel angry and jealous since my mom died on Dec 27,2012.

I think its a common feeling to be angry and jealous of those who still have a mother who is living.

I think I know what you mean, Jennifer. I find myself resenting people who still have their moms and take them for granted or people who complain about petty stuff like not being able to get a mani/pedi when I would give anything to have those problems instead of trying to pick up the pieces of my broken heart because my mom was ripped away from me.

Does anyone else experience a lot of anger during their grieving process? My step-sister's Mom got married last year, and stopped spending as much time with her. Well they are getting a divorce and she is so excited because she can't stand him. My step-dad has been so mad, because of how her Mom has been treating her and not giving her enough attention, which is what he did to me, he took time away from me. I never got to spend time with my Mom much..I think it's unfair that she gets to spend time with her Mom now, and I NEVER will!:'( I've never been the jealous person, but stuff like that makes me mad, especially when some people treat their Mother like crap!

Thank you, Michael Sandoval, same to you and all here.

Cynthia, you're right. You can't force yourself to be okay. We're not okay yet. And it takes as long as it takes. (My Mom used to say that)

Elissa, I am so sorry for your loss. Just lost my Mom suddenly also on May 8th - she had just turned 60 on April 22nd. Forevermore, April 22nd until Mother's Day will be a difficult time. I can't stop thinking how unfair it is, all the happiness and time she was robbed of that she so deserved.

Muuana- my heart goes out to you. I too lost my mom last month very suddenly. She was only 63 and I feel completely heartbroken. I feel she was taken way too soon and I'm sure you feel it even more so. Not having my mom has left me feeling lost, confused, angry and completely heartbroken. I don't know how we get through this awful pain but there must be a way. Cry when you have to cry- laugh when you feel like laughing and continue to talk to your mom. They are not next to us now but I do believe they are still with us somehow. I promise you that your mom will be st your graduation and will be so proud of you!

Hi Muuna,

I am glad I was able to help in some small way at least. My female friends and cousins have been a great support to me....however, yes I will admit it took time to want to socialize again. They didn't push me, they called and invited me over and waited until I was ready to be social. Don't push yourself, but when you are ready you should try to have some girly nights...maybe start slow with some quiet nights in you know?

This is indeed a safe place where you can express yourself freely. I have been able to express emotions here that I am unable to express anywhere else. Take advantage of the kindness of the people on here. We've all experienced something tragic and sad and we can help each other through it.

Kristin, thank you, writing a letter really helped. I will call on you *hugs*

Hi Maddy,

Thank you so much for the encouragement. And no, not little at all, you're of great comfort also.

Yes, we are definitely surrounded by men! I'm terribly sorry for your loss also especially at such an amazing and important time in your life. I'm going to make the effort to hang out more with female cousins, i'll give it a try. I can admit that I've sort of closed myself off.

Thank you both for being so welcoming, I feel very safe here. Sometimes I have awful days but I feel scared to share those days with anyone.

Micheal, thank you for your kindness.
