I lost my Mom last May on Mother's day…things have been pretty up and down since then and I am clinically depressed at this time. I am finishing art school and I'm really insecure about my career as an artist. I really feel like losing validation from my Mom is a major loss. I feel like losing my Mom has destroyed a lot of my self esteem. I didn't realize how much it meant to have a supporter, someone telling me that I was a valid human being. I hate this I didn't realize how insecure I really am….
Hoping someone has some insight….. Jeanne |

There are no easy answers but you have my sympathy. Try to be sure your reaching out and not spending to much time grieving. There will be of course a great deal of time you will need to heal from this. My father passed away in 2007 and often I think to myself "Oh I really wish I could tell dad such and such." It are those moments that you have to remind yourself of the best times and the conversations and in way they are right there with you!

I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. Think about what she would tell you. Maybe journal and have a conversation with her. She is still there encouraging you, you just have to listen a little more carefully.
I lost my mom 5 years ago and it is like a big piece of me is gone. I miss her so much, but I can still here her voice talking to me. I don't think I will ever get over losing her but things are better now and I try to remember the good times.

Sometimes,,playing mental tapes, of what our moms have said, or would say, helps during tough times. My mom and I spoke daily, especially after I'd started college. I can, at times, predict what she'd say, if still here. Something different happened, for me, after losing her. I grew beyond any expectation even I'd expected. I miss her. I trust, she'd be proud of me. I've often been quite similar, yet, very different from her. This is a week, I wish I could have shared with her. March 2010, was when her short battle with ovarian cancer took her. I oft mourn, the loss of her from my children, who may have faint recollections, at best. Sometimes, to honour our moms memories, live in a manner that they wouldn't worry for you  Sent from my LG-MS910 using Tapatalk 2 |

I lost my mom just one month ago. I can sympathize with you. I miss her more each day. Sometimes it hurts so bad, I can hardly catch my breath. I miss talking to her on the phone and hearing her feedback. Nothing can replace our Moms. Nothing. I am thinking of you. You are certainly not alone.

I just know how proud your mom would be of you getting on with your life. It is so very difficult to move on without your mom being there. You can still talk to her. I still talk to my mom and she has passed this 12 years. It does get easier in a way that you learn to deal with it better. The best way to remember your mom is to do the best that you can for yourself, afterall that is what she would have wanted. Best wishes..

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
