Members dsmurph Posted January 30, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm sorry to hear that you lost your mom so young. This goes to show that we spend our whole lives getting through. I'm sure you will find some support here. I encourage you to read books about after this life and possibly find a support group near you. I reccommend,"Embraced By The Light," by Betty J Eadie.

Members karebear Posted January 30, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I am so sorry to hear about your mom. That must have been really hard to not have her in your life as you grew up. Welcome to the group. I just lost my dad a little while ago but it has really helped being able to talk with others going through the same things. I don't find it getting too much easier as time goes by, did it get better for you? If so how long did it take until the crying finally stopped? I am having a hard time with that part. I look forward to talking to you.Karebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pointer7 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Karebear,Yea it was difficult and strange not having a mum since the age of ten to give you cuddles and all that kind of stuff! It does get easier as time goes on, you start thinking of the good memories and on the anniversary days and birthdays, you start to celebrate his/her life.The crying bit depends how much of an emotional person you are I guess. I still cried on tuesday at work when it was my mum's anniversary because I am quite an emotional person but some people are just generally strong and can try and get on as normal but it does get easier trust me!

Members amaranthseeds Posted February 4, 2013 Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 danielladunneHey. I think it's really normal to have no idea what to do or how to feel. I just lost my mom too, in october. I'm 25... so a little older than you, but still i think we're both really young to lose our moms. honestly i have no idea what to do either. I've never felt this sad or hopeless, at least not in this way. everything feels bigger and heavier. I had no idea grief would be like this. I've lost people before, but there's something so different about it being my mom, who died in an unexpected way too.i wish i knew what more to say to you-- i'm looking for more advice myself.what i have to remind myself is that grief is different for everyone. and we'll never be the same again, and that's okay. it will pass, but embrace it now. be numb. be sad. be hopeless. cry and cry and cry. be angry. get support. be around friends. tell stories, remember and sometimes just don't think about it at all.i've been trying to take this opportunity to do whatever i want right now. treat myself like a queen, nurture myself as much as i can. cuz why not?i need constant reminders that it's OK to be grieving. it's okay to feel hopeless and sad. they say the first year is hardest. so just go for it. let it be hard as hell. and don't feel guilty for feeling really messed up sad or numb or whatever, and don't feel guilty for feeling happy and having lots of fun sometimes and just totally forgetting about it sometimes, too.good luck...like i said i don't know what to do either. and thanks for your post. so simple and true, and reminded me that grief is really complicated. and i have no idea what i'm doing, i hope i'm doing it right in a healthy way, but just don't know.loveamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danielladunne Posted February 10, 2013 Members Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 thanks amara you really helped me, my family dont really help much because they dont know what to do or say except from my dad because his mum died a few years but my step brother and sister dont know what to do as it isnt their mum. i hope im doing this in the healthy way aswell but it doesnt feel like it or anything really :L I cried alot at first but i think im just numb now but i just want to move on with my life (which sounds bad) but i dont want to have the same life she had but i probably will if i stay here when i could be some were else but i suppose i'll have to wait a bit.

Members Snb357 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I do! I lost my mom nearly three years ago just four days before my 21st birthday. It took me a while to really start coping because I had to head back to my deployment a few days after she passed away. So now I celebrate her life as often as I can. I don't think I go a day without talking about her and sharing memories I cherish. It's still incredibly difficult to realize she is no longer just a phone call away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
