Hi Kisha,

Thank you for your kind words - I can sympathize with what you went through. I know what you mean about your unborn baby being the only thing that keeps you going. My husband and family have been great, however I think my unborn son is the only reason I still got up in the morning and forced myself to eat.

Thank you again for your kindness. It's comforting to know there are other women who have been in this situation. I hope you get through these next few months as best as you can.

Today was my Mom's birthday...she would have been 87 years old.  Made a visit to the cemetary this morning to place some flowers on her grave.  Happy Birthday Mom, wherever your spirit may be.

Hi Cynthia Gee,

I have that same lonely feeling. My mother was the one person that I never doubted whether or not she had my back or would be there for me in my times of need. I do have a loving husband but I still don't feel that unconditional security I felt from my mom. The day that I realized I didn't have it anymore was a very bad day.

Hi Maddy,
I am approaching my mom's birthday in June and the one year anniversary of her passing in July. I too was pregnant when my mom passed. I was 31 weeks. I believe my unborn son was the only reason I didn't completely shut down. I drive her to the airport on a Saturday morning and she died suddenly of pneumonia, which she nor I even knew she had. My husband went out of his way to get me through Mother's day. I am so dreading the next couple of months. My mom would have been 58.

Hi Elissa, I am so sorry for your loss.  Mine was similar.  My mom passed away March 2012.  I was having lunch with her and my sister on Monday and on Thursday she was diagnosed with brain cancer and did not know our names and was given 2-3 weeks to live.  She passed away 21 days later. It saddens me because by the time they diagnosed her, she was not in her right mind and I could not talk to her about what was going on and really know if she knew what was happening.  I did the best I could to make sure her last days were filled with love and that I talked to her as if she understood everything I said.  I won't lie, losing your mom IS one of the worst things in the world, but the pain does ease.  I don't know if the pain ever FULLY goes away, but it does hurt less with time.  I KNOW I am going to see my mom again and she is ever present, but she wasn't for the first year.  Suddenly these last 2 and half months she has been so near and not just to me, but to my sister and my best friend. Just come here and talk, it was my lifesaver right after my mom passed.

The severe heart ache (pain) does subside...but I'm afraid that the loneliness is something we will just have to learn to live with. Mom's are irreplaceable...especially when they were also your very best friend....I'm sad for all of us....I just have to believe we will be reunited someday, otherwise this life was just a cruel joke.

My mom passed away last month very suddenly. She was diagnosed with cancer and died two weeks later. I never had a chance to even try to prepared myself for her death. I thought I had more time with her. I'm so depressed and going on with normal life for my husband and kids. All I really want to do is curl in a ball. Losing your mom is one of the worst feelings in the world. Does the pain ever really go away?

Maddy, I've had a few good days surrounded by bad days. I read in a grief book that it's normal. We can only take so much pain and grief. Eventually, our hearts and minds will make us have a relatively good day to give us a break from the anguish. I try to enjoy my good days, but I often find that the days after are really bad. I hope the day brightens for you a bit.

Today is a bad day. Yesterday I felt capable and was able to focus. Today I feel like I am on the verge of tears at any moment. I think it's because I am getting closer to my due date and as I approach the birth of my first child, the absence of my mother is even more painful. Today is a bad day.
