Today is 2 months since I lost my only daughter to cancer and to me being reminded in some way  of what used to be is a hard one for me. She was my best friend, we talked quite often and I visited on occasion. When friends talk about their adult daughters it brings to light the realization that I once had that and I don't anymore and the tears come. I guess when I'm not reminded,I want to still think she is here,only a phone call away. Already many things have changed, we used to talk on the phone every Mon & Thurs and I was able to hear her voice in response, but now I talk to her and I have to get used to the fact that I'll never hear her voice in response. When I make statements about what I'm going to miss about her to friends,they respond then change the subject quickly. This hurts and I don't understand why they do this.

Really sorry for your loss. How awful to lose a child. I guess some people are really uncomfortable with grief and just don't know what to say.  I know exactly the loss you feel. I lost my mother in October. I saw her and talked to her everyday of my life.  Like you, it makes me sad to hear other people talk about their mothers.  I hope your friends become more understanding.
