Sorry Bob, I guess we all get tied up in our own feelings.  Yes, men have the same feelings and please dont feel alone here.  Most times when I write Im writing to everyone as we are all going through very similiar things.  It has been a really hard time for me.  Tonight is the 2 year anniversary of my son passing.  It was easier with my husband to hold but now he is gone as well and I have pretty much cried for 3 days straight.  Please keep writing and reading others posts.  You are not alone.

I lost my mom last August.  She was everything to me, so I feel a lot of the same emotions everyone else is feeling.  It was so hard watching her die.  I sure wish there was something I could do to help everyone through this painful journey because no one knows how hard it is until you are going through it yourself.  That's probably why we feel so abandoned by our friends.  I know most of my friends dread the day they have to go through this, so they probably just don't know what to say to me, aside from I'm sorry.  However, I've received a lot of kindness too from strangers, family and other friends who don't find talking about the death of a loved one uncomfortable.  I also think the alive hospice that Barbara mentioned earlier is a great idea.  It is free and it's helpful to be around those with similar losses.  The number for them in the Nashville, TN area is 615.327.1085.  I'm sure they're everywhere.  Also, a wise friend suggested something to me last week that makes a lot of sense to now after I thought it through.  I was telling him how I miss the joy my mom gave me when she was on earth, and he said that joy is still in my heart, I just need to reach out to someone who is hurting more than I am and help them, so I'm going to try that this week.  It's worth a try when you think about it.   Our lives and our mom's legacy is worth something worth while.  I'll keep everyone posted of my progress.   In the meantime, I wish everyone so much peace and love...and hopefully one day some happiness will shine through.

Tammy; am so very sorry for your loss. Everything you are feleing is normal. I've gone through so many stages of grief, sometimes when I think am doing well, I get right back to feeling the same way I did when she left this world. I'm now dealing with severe depression. I hate life but am still around so there must be a reason why I'm here.

Tomorrow is one month since she passed. Only by God do i get out of bed to face the day. So many regrets or guilt. I wish she were here to share my joy or hold her grandson. When i pick up the phone to call her it sets in, other days it doesn't seem real. I spent the first two weeks a drunken mess and the last two weeks cleaning it up. I don't know how to do this some days. And it seems like it makes others uncomfortable when I mention it.

Hi Rachel, what an honor to be able to do this for your mom. Are you an only child? I pray that God grant you strength and grace in the coming days.

Sue, you are not feeling sorry for yourself. You are just expressing what each of us feels. My daughter is now much closer to her dad, maybe my sadness is pushing her away. I don't feel like she needs me as much, which has been my prayer for a long time. If God takes me home, she will be ok, I've worked hard all my life so that if I have a natural death, my insurance and assets will take care of her for a long time. She's the one reason I feel like I have to be on this earth, if she's ok, I'll die happy. I have brothers and sisters but they are all grown with their own lives, they would be ok and move on just fine without me.
