Getting through each day is so hard. My Mom passed away suddenly on Nov. 18, 2011... I am in total shock still. How the heck could a relatively healthy, active woman be taken away from me, my Dad, siblings, my kids, .... ?? This is not fair and I feel angry.

Thanks for all of your support..... Yesterday was 3 weeks since we buried my Mom.... I miss her so much ! I still feel this " ache" in my stomach that won't go away. I know I have to eventually go on with my normal life, but the pain is still so great. I still can't believe that my Mom died. She wasn't even sick --- it makes me angry when I think of that. I want to be a good Mom and wife, but I feel so sad all the time. I feel like I am not living .... My children are only 4 and 6 so they really need me. I am trying. That's all I can do right now.
I can't believe that I will never talk to my Mom again. ( I used to talk to her 3+ times a day) that is really hard for me. I feel so " robbed". This life as I know it now, stinks. I am 43 w/ a great husband, family, two children, and I can't imagine living another 10, 20 years without my Mom. I know a lot of you , say that time will heal, but my cousin died 6 yrs. Ago and my cousin's wife is still grievin terribly. So, maybe some people are stronger than others or maybe they weren't as close to their loved one that passed. I'm not sure.... I just know that I feel like I lost my left arm. My Mom and I were extremely close. This pain is too much some days....

Very sorry for you loss Leslie.  You are in very good company on this site.  

The trauma/shock eventually wears thin, then we realize we have the grief.

And it is so very difficult, but we learn by having to re-learn new ways.

It will somehow be okay, that's what I keep repeating to myself.

Wish you peace of mind and heart,

Michael

Leslie your journey is just starting and the questions and anger are all part of it.  Unfortunately there is a whole bunch of people here that understand the pain you are in and want the same questions answered.  Getting through each day is a struggle we all work at too.  Im really sorry for your loss.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
