I ran into my mom's room thinking she was still alive after a dream, only to see her side of the bed empty. Its raining now n I love the rain but.. It keeps bringing back awful memories. And on top of all that, I lost motivation to eat and I haven't gotten anymore than 4 hours of sleep. I feel so sad. I want my mom back. I keep having visions of the final time I looked into her eyes. They were filled with so much pain and misery. I guess its a rough time since its breast cancer awareness month and that's what my mom had. She was only 40 and it makes me very upset. I feel so angry and sad and I don't have anywhere to channel my emotions.

I walk into my Moms room, lay where she did, hug her pillow and cry until it literally hurts. It's exhausting. I miss my Mom. I want my Mom back too. I want her back so bad it makes me feel like a little girl. I love the smell of her pillow. This has to be part of the process. Anger, Sadness, Confussion, all of it. I understand. I live it every minute of everyday. I lost my Mom 4 weeks ago. Still picking up the phone to call. I forget she's gone for a second and life fells ok, for that second. I quietly cry when I drive, I talk to her out loud all day long. It's all out of love. It's because our heart is shattered and this world is such a different place now. There are days when I still can't quite believe she's not here. Cookie..we'll be OK. For the first time in life I'm accepting help, 'therapy' with a nursing service that specializes in palliative and hospice care. I'ts not easy, but worth it. Fight for your life, your sanity, your Mom.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard it has been to cope. As impossible as it may seem, comfort and relief can be found. Many bereaved ones have found that talking can be a helpful release. Notice, for example, the words of the Bible character Job, who suffered the loss of all ten of his children and endured other tragedies. He said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life. I will give vent to my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” (Job 1:2, 18, 19; 10:1) Notice that Job needed to “give vent” to his concerns. How would he do so? “I will speak,” he explained. So don't be afraid to talk to a close friend about how you feel, and what you have been going through.

You can also find comfort by drawing close to God. The Bible tells us: “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.” (James 4:8) One of the principal ways to draw close to God is through prayer. Do not underestimate its value! The Bible makes this comforting promise: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) It also assures us: “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22) Think about this. As mentioned earlier, many have found it helpful to talk about their feelings with a trusted friend. Would it not be even more helpful to pour out your feelings to the God who promises to comfort our hearts?

I lost mom 3 weeks ago. Every time the phone rings I think it's her for a split second and all is right in the world. I miss her so much!!! Talk to her all day, both aloud and in my head. Holidays are going to be so hard without her, as is my birthday and not getting my birthday song call from her. Trying to be strong for my son and the rest of the family but wonder who is being strong for me. I can tell this one event has changed me for the rest of my life. Is give anything to have her back, strong and healthy. But since that can't happen I'll just have to cherish the memories and pictures I have until we are together again.

Remember you aren't alone.
