She's gone and I don't know what to do. Much of the time I can't acknowledge it and believe she's just away for a bit.

Calista, so sorry to hear about your Mum. That is such a hard loss.

It can be hard to get out of bed in the morning. Setting small goals for the day can help get through the day and feel something is accomplished.

hi calista
i am so sorry that you are experiencing this pain. it is difficult to no longer have a loved one in your life. feeling that grief and sadness can take time to get over. one way is to start remembering the things you love about that person when that sadness comes on. it may not take away the feelings of grief and loss, but at the same time you can still experience love and joy. write letters to her in a journal with all the things you would want to say to her if she were still here, you can even imagine what she would say to you if she were responding back. it is coming up on a year since my sister died and just over a year since my mom did. i wear each of their rings every day and i remember them fondly when i look at them, knowing they are still with me. it is how i keep them with me. take care.

I'm very sorry for your loss Calista

We carry those we love dearly in our hearts forever and their love for us and our love for them is ever continuing. The hurt is real and our thoughts are too. We learn that the love and happy memories and moments that were shared together last a lifetime.

Hello Calista.... My Mom passed away when I was 20 years old. I know firsthand the feeling you are experiencing. It's okay to find yourself having difficulty to accept what transpired. Hang in there. You will work your way through this, you will experience grieving, and as time goes by, you will find yourself thinking about this in a new light and one which yields understanding and acceptance. How you feel right now is not how you are always going to feel - please remember that.

It's been 13 years since my Mom passed and I have to state that this life experience and the ensuing sense of loss and grieving ended up serving as the catalyst for significant internal/spiritual growth which had a profound transformative effect on my life.

I like to say that our loved ones are not 'gone', they are just temporarily 'away' from us for the time being...



Kind Regards,
~wolfgaze

I am sorry for the loss of your mother Calista.
I have lost mine this year and I feel the same. I hope we can get better with time and help other people in the future.
