Elaine, am so sorry you are hurting so badly. There are numerous times I've felt alone and like I just wanted to give up. I can say that my overwhelming feelings of grief have improved, not gone away but improved. I look at my two year old and I know she needs me, shes the reason why I get out of bed on most days.Mom always wanted me to have a baby and she was so happy when I finally did. I know Michelle saved my life, I would have ended it all if not for her. I hope that you can find a reason to live a full life again. You are not invisible; you are a beautiful, caring human being.

Elaine,

I have to disagree that is not true. If older women are invisible then How did we love our mother's so much and they were important in so many peoples lives. If they are invisible?

I don't want to be sad..it's going to be 10 months for me on the 7th, I think my mom would truly be disappointed in me if she knew how sad I was. In this sense I hope she does not. I do not look forward to death in fact I do not want to die. Sure when it's my time. But I hope that time is not for a long time I have so much I want to do still. I want to watch my children get older and be proud of their accomplishments. I want to meet my grand children. I want to grow old and enjoy my senior discounts lol. The point is we need to start enjoying our lives again. Our mothers would want us too. You know we can still missed them and grieve..But it's ok to still live! Much love to you all,

Melissa

Today, I went to see a show, I thought it would be a good day. I enjoyed the show, but, now i am home and crying. It was the first broadway show without my mom. I sat with my friend, but couldn't help looking at the seat on the other side thinking about my mother. What is the purpose of anything? I come home and have nobody to talk and share my day with. I try to go forward, but, then I don't know what I am going forward to.

I had a better day today than i had all week. But tonight it all hit me again and I start to think, how can i go on like this everyday fighting to get through the day without my mother. We did so much together and i miss it all.

Hi Elaine, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am also exhausted and counting the minutes until the weekend starts. Then, I also can't sleep or rest when the weekend gets here.  I miss my best friend, my mom.  I talk to my mom out loud and go to her room. I don't know if time will help us. For what it is worth, you are with friends on this website.

Happy Birthday Lisa!

My birthday was in December, two months after my Mom passed.  Bottom line, it was terrible.  Mom always sent me really sentimental daughter birthday cards, and I in return would always send her a Mothers Day card on my birthday (she did do all of the work, after all)...I've kept all the cards over the years.  Her hand writing was atrocious, but I always looked forward to it and seeing "We love you, Mom and Dad, xoxo"  It nearly killed me to go to the mailbox on my birthday.  But bless my Dads heart, he knew about the cards Mom would send, and decided to send me one that would give me a much needed laugh in spite of it all...

Well, it wasn't great, it was...doable. At least my birthday fell on a weekday where I could at work with friends. I still missed my mom:(

My birthday is today and really it was no big deal. My daughter, who is ten was adamant about me having a cake, so we baked one tonight & she sang happy birthday to me...very endearing. What was really weird was that my mom wasn't here:( I miss her, but I'm getting through the days pretty well. I read a book to my daughter last night called, What Is Heaven by Maria Shriver. It was AMAZING! Good for children AND adults. I've decided to purchase the book because it was comforting to me. I highly recommend it, even if you don't have children. Love, Lisa
