My mom passed away 12.12.14. I'm still pissed off, I'm still hurt, I'm still sad. I don't cry like I used to but I do cry. Currently I'm just trying to pick up the pieces. I miss her so very much. Since she passed, I just can't get on track. My life has changed in so many ways, I don't think I'll ever be the same. I do know time is a great healer, I know these things take time. I just had a birthday and I couldn't get into it, nothing seems right. The loss of a mother is so profound, it's true what they say "You only have one mother." I pray all the time now, I ask G-d for strength because I need it. My mother was everything to me, most days I just wished she was around. I just need her advice, her perspective and most importantly her love.

This message is to  convey  my deepest sympathy for you, and your family at this time of great grief. The lost of a family member, and especially a parent is a traumatic event, that shakes us to the core. I am participating in a volunteer work, and reaching out to loved ones who are suffering thru this lost, and providing an upbuilding bible message of hope.
A scripture that brings comfort, is found at Rev 21:3,4 which reads " The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Since death is all around us today, so we can appreciate that this is a future hope, and promise. But can this really take place? Is it really possible, that in the future your mom, and many others will be brought back to life?? Is this a mere fantasy? 
Note what verse 5 reads "Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful* and true."
If you would like to hear more good news about the future, please inquire of Jehovah's Witnesses the next time they visit, or visit our website www.jw.org where you will find many more encouraging bible truths, that can ease your pain, and grief and provide a solid hope for the future.

My  condolences.

leibas01, I lost my Mom on Dec 09, 2015. Today is my birthday. I can't stop crying. The person who gave me life, who was there when I took my first breath is gone. I am laying here clutching the card she gave me last year and trying to remember every little detail of my birthday last year. What did we talk about, what did we eat, where did we go. I am so afraid of forgetting. I know that she would want me to go forward but that is not possible for me at this time.I miss her so much. Right now I am an empty shell. Some of the members of this website seem to be healing. In them I find some hope that someday I may find some peace. I know our lives can never be the same. I keep thinking about how all of the little things that I used to stress out about were so unimportant. What a waste of my time. I know what my Mom would want for me and what your Mother would probably hope for you also. They would want us to pick up the broken shattered pieces and try to go on. My Mom would hate for me to be like I am now. I just read something yesterday that I think might help me move in the right direction. I wished I would of written it down; I'm not sure if I remember it quite right. It said " The past is gone; the future may not be; the present is all we have. " I can't keep trying to live in the past, I don't know what the future may hold for me. All I can do is live the today.  Hopefully the passage of time will help heal some of the raw wounds of our grief and next year on our birthdays we will have found some peace. Take care, Haven
