I think it took me a couple of months to get out of the denial stage and realize that she isn't coming back. I know she would want me to be happy because she was ready to go, she lived in pain for four years and she was tired of it, but 'moving on' or finding a new normal is so much more easier said than done. It's especially hard when you're the only child and don't have many family members around that are supportive. My feelings are like a rollercoaster that is never ending. I'm 23 but I haven't had to deal with death much, except for my grandfather when I was ten, so I'm kind of new to all of this!:/

My mom has been gone a month and I understand how you feel. I can't watch shows she loved or do the activities she liked because its too hard. I think when you're ready you will. A month isn't very long - it's barely enough time to get your head around it. I am an only child so I understand feeling alone. Just keep trying to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Let go of your regrets I am sure she knew you loved her.

Thanks, it's just hard to believe sometimes. I guess because I'm not a mother to another human. I have my little Cairn Terrier but that's it!

I think your mother knows that you love her. I think she already knew before she passed. The bond mother/daughter is very strong and even if you had your differences, that didn't matter, because you loved each other. I would also give anything for 5 minutes with my mom!
