I have the hardest time letting the people i love go. My housemaster at my school has been my mom for the past two years, and I'm crumbling without her. I have no friends at home(because i dont really live here), and she was the only one I really trusted and loved. She's the only one who is unconditionally supportive of me, and the only one that i truly feel loved from. Without her, I feel like i've lost myself. I feel like I dont even know how to be happy anymore. I miss her so much it physically hurts and i don't know how to stop it. Its gotten to the point where i can't even think about her or i will break down in tears. I feel so alone and dependant on hearing from her, but even when i do hear from her i get so upset because i miss her. What can I do? How do I stop this pain?

Hi jacq - I think what you're feeling is normal, given that you were so close, and she was such a caring maternal figure for you. I"m so sorry that you're going through the pain of being separated from her. I know it feels like it won't get any better, but it will - honestly. And a good cry in the meantime won't do you any harm. I think it's a tribute to what a wonderful job she does, that you miss her so.
It will get easier with time and we're here for you ... (((Jacq)))

Thanks ((((heartspace))))

I'm so sorry Jacq, this is really one of the hardest 'lessons' in life i find. But the pain eventually lessens.... It does. You've just got to hang in there (((Jacq)))
