My mother left August 1st, 2006. She passed in her sleep. Not sick, I had talked to her the day before and was going to pick her up for girl things. Then the phone call come. I was momma's baby and I was devastated (still am) I am a grown woman (nearly 40) and I still cry at a moments notice.I wasn't ready. I didn't get to tell her all the stuff I wish had. I guess in my mind she would be around forever. I feel betrayed-she left me and she promised she would always be around. I know that's not possible, but I still feel betrayed. I have moved near the ocean. The water was always moms favorite, and it helps to see it. I think about her. My brothers (& my dad-they were divorced most of my life) see me as a cry baby and death is part of life... I should accept it and move on. So that leaves me really alone. I made it thru my birthday and the holidays. But Valentines has really been hard. Is there a time this will get easier?

I can understand how hard this must be for you. But you are not a cry baby, and it is absolutly ok to show emotion. And yes things will get better! She is still with you, if you can remember her, she is still there in your memories. I really hope things get better for you soon.
Take good care,

grieving is a natural process of our lives. you're not a crybaby.
time will help you. it's different for all of us, but it wil get better.....meanwhile, hold to your memories and process that grief. good luck, pat

I am sorry for your loss...

You are not a cry baby. Grief / loss is one of the hardest things to get through and/or to accept.

It is a shame your brothers and dad are not supportive of you. But I do hope there is someone close (friend, other relative maybe?) who can be there for you.. Take care.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom 6 years ago. I remember after every thing was done I did not get out of bed for any holidays. Cryed and cryed and cryed.
I was the baby too. This year was hard for me. But better than most. Being able to talk to someone really helps.
It's alright to cry.

Hello
I am sorry for your loss, and I hope things get better for you soon. I dont think anyone ever forgets the loss of a parent, but if you are spending more time grieving than you think is considered somewhat normal, you may want to seek professional help. Joining a grief support group may help as well so tht you feel less alone. Take care Soidhonia
