I unexpectedly lost my mom 2 weeks ago and I've cried a few times...

[Mara NYCPA]

On 8/13, my mother unexpectedly passed away at home. I just spoke to her on the phone on 8/8. That day will be etched in my brain for the rest of my life. My father and siblings are having a very difficult time with her transition. I told myself I had to be strong for them and with that, I've cried a few times. Is there something wrong with me? My father and siblings have been crying daily but me? A few times. I think it's more so the shock that I won't be able to call her, text her, visit her again. I'm gonna miss her terribly, especially her laugh.

I dont want to continue to wreck my brain for the answers but I know that everyone's grief and their pattern of grief is different. 

Any guidance is so appreciated and everyone that is on this forum, we are not alone in our grief and I'm glad that I have this forum to visit.

Everyone is different.  You can't compare your grief to someone else's and there is nothing wrong with you.  I was crying daily in the beginning.  Now I cry sometimes 3 times a day sometimes not at all since my mom died. I cried at my dad's funeral and tear ed up the first Christmas we without him.   5 years after I started absolutley bawling when I saw a stupid singing fish in a goodwill, because he had one and ot reminded me of all the good times.  Grief isn't even the same for the the same person.   Give yourself permission to do it however is best for you.
