Members reader Posted June 24, 2017 Members Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Dear sj2017, My deepest condolences and sympathies on the loss of your beloved mom. I'm very sorry for your loss. Everyone is different and there is no right way or wrong way. I have tried almost everything and anything to help me cope. If you want to, try counselling, grief support, reading different articles and books. There are also programs through the community and websites GriefShare.Org and The Grief Recovery Method. I also find these websites helpful: What's Your Grief and The Grief Healing Blog. Please know you are not alone. We are all here to listen and support you. Take care of yourself. Sending all my thoughts and prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phillip1985 Posted July 4, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Visited my mom's grave today. I cried on my way there, but was at peace once I reached her grave. Told her how my day went. This may only be true of me, but talking out loud to my mom gave me comfort. I'll visit again tomorrow to put a flag on her grave site. And yes, tell her again how my day is going so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StruggleBus Posted July 5, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I talk to my mom out loud all the time. They say it helps. And I always feel calmer at my moms grave as well. I don't know why, it should be the opposite I suppose but I feel like she's safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phillip1985 Posted July 5, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 It is comforting to know that other people experience the same peace I feel when I talk out load to my mom and visit her grave. I use the same tone in my voice as if she is still alive. The way I relate my day to her and tell her I love her. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phillip1985 Posted July 8, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I know I'll always miss my mom. I believe that I'll see her someday in heaven. Until that time, I'll have to turn my grief into something productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WendyF Posted July 28, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hello I'm so sorry for all of your losses:( I lost my Mum four weeks ago today. I've never felt such pain, it was so sudden and now I'm literally broken. I don't even know how I got through her service or even how we arranged it all. I miss her beyond words. She was my best friend. Life without her is rubbish and I'm still struggling to accept she's actually gone:( People keep saying it gets easier but I can't see it. How do you get over losing the most important person in your life? I don't think I ever will. Sending hugs, hope you're all getting through today ok.
