Missing Mom

[power2theweak]

Lately, I haven't been getting much sleep. I've been dreaming about Mom every night. She's not dead in my dreams; but, she's there--sick and dying.

It's been three weeks since she passed. And, at this point, it feels like things are getting worse, not better, as everything is slowly sinking in.

Losing my mom has left such a huge hole in my life that can never be filled.

It's natural, sweetie... three weeks really isn't very long, and grieving is a very personal thing. Let yourself feel, sweetie, treat yourself gently and be kind to yourself. There is nothing wrong with anything you feel.
If you need a little more help and support, sweetie, have you considered going to grief counseling? A professional may be able to help you to understand the process and deal with the feelings.

Thinking of you very much, my dear. You will get through this hard time.. you will always miss her, but it won't always be so very painful.

Four weeks is really not long in terms of grieving. Keep going, dear one, remember that your feelings are fine, you are allowed to miss her and to be unhappy! Try to remember the good times as well, and keep looking after yourself and giving yourself little treats. Slowly there will come a time when life seems worth living again, and you can enjoy yourself... but it takes time.

Thinking of you, sweetie, and hoping that you find some peace and comfort today.

You are beginning to heal. Grief will take you to many emotions and dreams, too. I am very sorry for the loss of your mom. God bless you.

This quote really sums up my feelings:

"There is an emptiness inside of me--a void that will never be filled. No one in your life will ever love you as your mother does. There is no love as pure, unconditional and strong as a mother's love. And I will never be loved that way again."

Your obviously had a tremendously strong bond with your mother. Unfortunately, the price of loving someone deeply is that, if you lose them, the pain is equally deep. The depth of your grief is a great testament to how much you and your mom meant to each other. I am a man, so I know it's different, but I remember well the pain of watching my mother deteriorate and then die. It was in the middle of winter and the burial took place in a cold drizzle on a gloomy hillside. You know, the world never looked the same after that, but something very strange happened. After the acute pain had simmered down over the period of two or three months, I found that I was appreciating things more. I was noticing little things, a baby's laugh, a pretty sunset, how green the grass looked. When something dies, something else is born. With every ending, there is a beginning. Give yourself some time, some space, and I think you will be surprised at what comes to life for you as your grief dies.
Blessings to you,

I'm so angry these days! I hate this feeling!!! I'm not so much angry that Mom is gone (although, maybe I am, and I just don't realize it...or won't allow myself to go there), but I'm feeling very hurt by and angry at certain people (mainly because I have been there for them in the past, but they are not able to be there for me now, when I really need them). I know that sounds really selfish. I really care about people, and I don't help them so that they will give me something in return. I try to be there for them because I really want to help. But, at the same time, it hurts when I need them and they are not there. I also realize that I may be overreacting, so I am trying to avoid these people and situations so that I won't lash out and damage relationships beyond repair.

Blah!

Sending you big hugs. What you are going through is normal. anger is so much part of the process. I cannot tell you that the pain goes away because for me sometimes it feels like it gets worse.

My precious Mom died from a stroke 2ndApril 2009, she was only 62 years old. I miss her so much, when she died a part on me died. I get by okay and some days I really feel like I am okay then something happens to remind me of my Mom and it feels like someone has hit me in the chest and I can't breathe.

However it does ease and you are able to continue living your life. It is not the same as it was before, but it is okay.

If you need to chat, let me know.
