Hugs to everyoen specially Julie. I felt so moved by reading your comment and wanted to tell you that i am thinknig of you and identify with you feeling lost without your mum. the past month has been the hardest for me and i just don't seem to see the light at the end of this sadness tunnel. My mum died very suddenly in  front of us in September 2012 and i think it has just started to hit me that she is really gone and never coming back. I still cry almost every day and feel like i can't breath due to the sadness. Love Sim xx

Julie...i am so sorry for your loss....you just have to allow yourself to grieve....your world has drastically changed...the one person that has been with you your entire life, and knows everything about you, is physically not with you any longer....trying to deny and telling yourself you shouldn't feel a certain way is the "survival" part of you...my advise is to allow yourself to grieve for the most important person in your life...I promise the "sting" will "subside", but it takes awhile...some days will be easier then others. I'm sure you have even forgotten what true "joy" feels like....and you are consumed by all the events you wont share together....you will find joy again, I promise.... you are very young and while i know it is hard to even imagine right now, life continues to move forward, you will learn a new normal of living your life and missing your mom....as I've seen so many people say here...grieving is a journey...not a destination....those words are so true....your new life does become easier to tolerate when you can accept (very difficult at times) that the hollow feeling you have is part of it. This site makes me so sad for everyone hurting, but there really is something to be said for feeling like someone really understands what you are going through....I know it has helped me through my own grief journey (my "mom"/best friend died 12/28/09...she was 67), I miss her everyday, but feel her presence in my life as you will too with your mom. Take care of you!!

I lost my mother last year at the age of 42. Im only in my early twenties and I feel like Im too young to have to go through this. I think about her everday even though its been a year it still feels like she just died. I miss her so much, she was the only family that I had. I have really sunk since her death. Im in the beginning of my life and I can't believe I have to live so long without her. I feel like a little 5-year old orphan without parents now that she is dead. It feels like nobody cares about me. How long is this insecure feeling going to last? I know Ill always miss her, but I just want to feel secure again. I guess I have a lot of maturing to do. How long am I going to feel like an orphan? Im grown, I should nt be feeling insecure like this.

My mom also raised me alone without help. I'm very proud of her and hope I can live up to the kind of woman she was.

I can relate also to what you say, Amanda. I think it's very unfair that I find myself without my mom now. I don't want to live in a world where you can just lose someone you love so much without the chance to even say goodbye. I simply can't accept it.

I know there is no normal grieving process. But, it's almost 8 months since my mom passed and I still cry everyday. I can hardly talk about it without crying. My kids see me cry and I hate that. I try so hard to hold back but the tears just come. Especially when everyone is asleep, I'll cry for a couple hours. I miss my mom/best friend! She was only 54!! I shouldn't have to go on with life without a mom. I'll probably be alive longer without a mom than with a mom. Nights are the worst! My husband works 2nd shift so it's just me and the kids, then once they go to sleep, I cry and wish to wake up from this nightmare!

I wish I had to words to tell you all what kind of a woman my mother was to me and all those with whom she came into contact.  She was beautiful, kind, smart, courageous.  When my dad left and she was left alone to raise me she picked herself up, put herself through college, and bought the home where I now live.  She did it all by herself, with no help from family.  Through it all, she managed to love me every day.

This is going to be a difficult weekend for me as well many of you.  I'm spending Easter with my sisters/family at my mom's house.  It is going to be hard.  Last year Easter my mom was doing well...we took lots of pictures with her great-grandkids...she started saying 'that is enough' if we only knew that was the last time we would all be together when she felt well...I would have taken even more.  I would have talked to my mom more...when we colored eggs we always had fun. Laughing at stupid things...Laughing with my sister...many years ago we had the stuff that shrinks over the egg...well, my sister stuck the spoon into the shrink stuff with the egg...we laughed so hard!  Every year my mom would bring it up....remember when....
