Hi MSB  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Please know you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings.  Surprisingly I lost my mother two days  (Dec 14th 2011) after you lost your mom.  My father had died the previous year but we weren't all that close.  I was very close to my mom.  It's a unique situation.  my mom  was physically challenged since Childhood.  As far back as I can remember ( about 3 ) I was my mothers arms and legs.  We were pretty much one.  This loss has been horrific for me.  The last 9 months have been torture.  This last week something happened that has given me some relief.  I've realized already that I'm never going to get over this loss and I flat out refuse to ever accept the manner in which she died ( pancreatic cancer ) but slowly oh so slowly I can start to breath a little bit I guess.  if you ever want to talk let me know.  -  Mark
