Chris, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Losing a mother is so excruciatingly painful.  No one but a mother cares about every little detail of your life.  You can count on your mother to love you through the good times and the bad.  I think we go numb because the pain is so great, so deep, that we aren't ready, aren't strong enough, to bear it.  Be patient with yourself.  Everyone grieves in their own way, in their own time.

My mom died this past January. I have not cried still. She was 92. She was wanting to go. She made her peace. My brother and sister hate me. I don't know why. I don't hate them. I wish I could. I understand being numb. Because it seems sureal.
