I'm sorry but I am welling to the max on this. I am trrying to be strong on this but Mom's death is absolutely kicking my ass! I've tried to be as strong as I can be but I'm losing. Lisa is doing all she can as a friend to help. I never ask for help as I can handle anything. I am having trouble with this.

You are not losing. You're grieving. And what you feel is normal, natural, and appropriate. It's not a matter of strength...it's a matter of being human.

Pm sent, my friend. And prayers and love sent too.

You don't need to be strong. That's what friends are for! Do whatever you need to do....cry, grieve, etc. I can't imagine how much it must hurt.

Conway.... You are very strong and you have a huge heart. I've been following your posts. Just remember... you never lose someone. The love, the experiences, the good times that you share with someone close can never be taken away from you. Those are yours. Protect them. Remember the good times and think of her often. Know that she is there looking after you. Hugs, bro.

Conway,

Cut yourself some slack. It's only been 2 months. Grief is healthy. Let it flow. You're grieving the loss of the woman who gave you life and loved you unconditionally your entire life. That will never change. With time you will accept...but never forget. The love will never die, neither will the memories.

In the meantime, you're in my prayers. If you need to talk or vent, you know how to reach me.

Hang in there,
Chris

Hugs from me too, Conway! I can't even imagine how tough this is on you. You've already done so much to honor her memory, I know she must be very proud of you.

Conway - this is natural, and healthy. You need to give yourself time (and permission) to grieve.

I've been there, my friend - I lost both my parents to sudden heart attacks within a 6 year stretch.

All of a sudden you're 5 years old again, and lost. You feel helpless, scared and so very, VERY alone. You wonder how you can go on, without them to guide you.

And what you do, is SURVIVE. You cry, because they've been taken from you, and it hurts SO badly. And that is the most natural thing in the world, my friend.

So.... cry. Let out the hurt. Recognize that she's NOT gone so long as you hold her in your heart.

Remember the good times... the laughter, the smiles, the hugs and kisses.

Remember the bad times... the fights, the arguments.

Remember the whole of her life... and be thankful that she shared her life with you, as I'm sure she was thankful that you shared your life with her.

Close your eyes... open your heart.... and feel her love for you. She's still there, in your heart.... and she always will be.

Let the tears come.

Mike
I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Wow, I could have not said that better! It was 2 years this past week for me that I lost my Mom. (My Dad died twelve years ago). I cried all week like a baby - it hurt, it always will. But the good memories become what you think of, not the sadness. Sometimes you will feel like you are going crazy - you're not! It's part of the grieving process.

Think like I do - when you look up at the stars at night, think of them not as stars but as windows open from Heaven, the light of our loves ones shining out, letting us know they are ok. A friend had sent me a card with that on it and I love it.

God bless you - take care, warm hugs from Illinois!

was I just numb or what. Why am I feeling the pain more now? I was ok with it before. Suddenly it pains to even think of her now. I'm at work and should go home. I sat at her desk yesterday to check some invoices and looked up and saw the 2 porceline hummingbirds that some fellow employees put on her desk that she was so fond of. I just lost it. I see shadows out of the corner of my eye as I work around the office from places that I would never see her at work.

[Zennie 0]

Dude, I'm really, really sorry. Next I see ya I'll give you a hug and buy you a beer.

Everything you're feeling is 100% normal. And yes, initially, time sometimes makes things worse because of all the reminders thrown at you. And also because it takes a little bit for the reality of the whole thing to sink in.

Just remember you have lots of people who care about you very much and will always be there for you when you need it.

Peace bro.

Conway... it IS overwhelming, and numbing at first. Your "anchor" is gone, and it's something that is inconceivable to you and the intensity of it all overloads you.

She was there for you your whole life and now she isn't. Regardless of what your brain "knows", that everyone has to die some day, your heart never fails to hope that it's untrue.

For the next while, there are going to be lots of things that remind you of her, and every time will hurt anew. It's natural, and part of the grieving process.

The only advice I can give you is "life goes on". Keep to your normal daily schedule as much as you can. TRY not to dwell on it.

In time, the hurt will fade. It NEVER goes away, but it becomes much more bearable.

Life goes on, my friend....life goes on.
