HELLO MY NAME IS SUSAN JONES AND I LOST MY MOTHER2 YEARS AGO, AND i STILL CAN'T GET OVER IT. MY MOTHER AND I WHERE VERY CLOSE AND TO THIS DAY I WILL LOOK AT HER PICTURE AND HAVE A GOOD CRY. I WILL ALWAYS MISS MY MOTHER NO MATTER HOW OLD I GET. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND A BEST FRIEND.
I honestly don't think anyone ever "gets over it". I lost My Mother over seven years ago and think of Mom every day all the time. All the things we did together and She was/is my best friend. I do feel guidance from Her. My therapist told me "Life will never be the same" and she was right. I don't have any answers for anyone as I am in denial after over seven years. There are many people who have not experienced this and I think they are never sure what to say.
I want My Mother here and that is what would help and that can't be fixed.
Peace to all, GailM
I lost my mom on September 8. I had talked to her on my way work that morning (the first day of school-I am a teacher) and she said good luck on the first day and I told her I would talk to her later. I called her around 5 on my way home and there was no answer. I knew something was wrong and drove over to her house. I found her dead in her chair. She was 88 years old and getting tired and more frail. But I didn't expect this yet. She and I were incredibly close-she raised me herself as a single parent. She was my best friend. I feel like a part of me is missing. I keep expecting it to be her when the phone rings. I miss her so much. Thanks for reading this.
Aww Janet, what a horrible shock! I'm so sorry for your pain. We have all suffered so in so many different ways.... I was tortured by my mom's slow progression to Heaven. It was a terrible night mare that i try my hardest to NOT bring up in my mind. so many things, that some just would not believe. So i am trying to bring out the good, funny, loving moments and cast away the others..... Peace be with you dear, for your mom's journey was swift and for this she was one very lucky soul~~

My mom died four hours ago. I am 48, she was 78- fighting small cell lung cancer. We live far apart but I was just there last week with her. She was home until yesterday when she suddenly developed pain and went into the hospital. I have a wonderful husband and three great kids, but I feel like I am the only one who feels this. They are all being supportive, but keeping on with their plans- hockey, music lessons- is this what it is like when you are a grown up losing a parent? 'Cause I don't feel like a grown up, I feel like a little girl and my heart is cracking open.
