Members btdoster Posted February 3, 2016 Members Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm new here. I lost my mom August 2015. My dad is living, and I have 3 older brothers but no sisters. Being the youngest and her only daughter, mom and I had a very close bond. My mom died 2 days before my 46th birthday. I wish we had had more time, but at the same time I feel blessed to have had her that long. I used to talk to my mom every day and I miss her so much it hurts. My husband was in the military so we left home for 20 years while stationed in different places. She came to visit everywhere we moved and we talked every day on the phone. I don't know if I could have done it without her support, visits and daily phone calls. I have two children, her only grand-children as my brothers never had kids. All she wanted was to be a grandma, and she was the best and loved my kids. But I carry so much guilt for moving away and not being closer. We moved back a year before she died, so I got to spend a lot of time with her and be closer. It was so hard though, watching her get sicker and weaker. She died of liver disease. I'm also having a hard time with the fact that my kids are getting older and will be out of the house soon. Daughter is away at college and son will be soon. I feel so alone without my mom and my kids not needing me as much, I feel like my whole life has changed and it hurts so much. All my close friends have their moms so I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to. Also, no one really asks how I'm doing which kind of surprises me. I want very much to talk about my mom.

Members Marivdb Posted March 2, 2016 Members Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 This is a good place to talk about your mom...I'm sorry I'm just seeing this now. My own grief is pretty fresh, and I've had quite a bit of family turmoil going on post funeral to deal with.My own children are hitting that empty nest stage and life definitely takes on a different aspect at that point! I still have two of my three at home, but they both graduate in the next year and a half!Welcome to our sad little group, please join our daily thread and tell us some stories about your mom and your life....Marianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
