    Hi Amanda,

    Losing a mother to cancer is terrible. The pain is so raw and runs so deep. I lost my mother in December 2012 to pancreatic cancer. Like your mom, she was pretty young. I am young, too (35), and I really related to what you wrote on the "I Miss My Mom" wall--I, too, have thought that I will probably be alive longer without my mom than I was with her. And it feels so terribly unfair that our moms were dealt this deal. Shortly after my mother died, I had someone tell me, "there is nothing worse than the pain of a daughter losing her mother." I think that is true. If you ever need to chat, feel free to PM me anytime. Thinking of you.

    Thanks, Eliza! It's so hard, especially going through first holidays and birthdays. Even stupid things, no one made me laugh like her and I miss our shopping/lunch dates. I am grateful that I had such a great mom and 29 years with her but I should of been able to have more. Just like you. We are too young to be motherless. Ugh!! Thanks for reaching out to me!
