I miss my Mom!

If you have that hole in your heart that you get when you lose the woman that you shared a body with....

Missing my identity

Mother hás such a powerful influênce, that sinse she passed a few years ago i feel i lost good part of my identity. I have done a lot in my life. But she hás a bigger print in me than i realized. I loved tô run tô tell her good things and see her rejoyce with me was a very powering process. Now i have tô rejoyce quietly, as no other person on Earth is like her. She rejoyced with me the smallest things. Every litthe thing was special. We made tem special. We cheeared each other when sad. Unfortunately mo other person on Earth can replace that. Validation. Its not about money. How good my health or looks are. My mother loved é very little thing about me. And i loved every little thing about her too. Its Hard tô find 1 percent of that in any other person. Then its a painful process when i try tô have this in other People. Its like showing vulnerability or success is usrless. They Either expect too much or throw in the dumps. And that cause me a roller coaster. Im having tô adjust and triste more myself and dond try tô find her responses elsewhere. She was unique. She is irrepleaceable. She was a beautiful soul. I Will miss her i guess gorever. But being abre tô cope building all she was tô me inside is a work in progress.....

    I'm so sorry for you loss.  This is my story too. My Mom passed in 2014 and I was completely lost.  I used to run races (not so much anymore) and did all kind of triathlons and Ironmans and my Mom was such a big part of that. She loved what I did and it was such a joy to share it with her.  I was devastated when she passed suddenly and I could no longer run or knit or go to the gym, etc. I stayed home for 2 years and did nothing but work and sleep :(  Then I knew that this is not what she would have wanted for me.  I got up and got back to the gym but it was SO HARD!!  Once I got to my car I would cry so hard cause I had no Mom to call and share my workout or stop to bring coffee for :(  I realized that the "end of my story" had changed... every story I had from day to day.  ... but then it got easier, a bit easier.  I just sucked up the pain and did the workouts anyway.  I got back on my bike and started running races again and cycling.  It's been almost 8 years since she's been gone.  I'm really sorry for your loss and the pain you feel.  I completely understand your story.  I am here to chat if you need to.  Hugs.. <3
