    I lost my Mom a week ago and I'm really sad. I'm also really out of it..mentally, you know? The weather has been really dreary too just to add to the mood. :(
    Well, people got worse problems, I know that. My Mom is happier now wherever she is.

    Sorry to hear of this.

    We all lose our mothers and fathers sooner or later. It is probably one of the most unpleasant things we have to endure in life, yet, it is unavoidable for most.

    Time WILL lessen the pain. Going to hurt for a long while though.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. i know you are saying "well, I shouldn't feel bad, some people have it worse" but the thing is you are YOU, not those other people and everything is relative. Don't feel ashamed for not being able to snap out of it, this is a major loss and you deserve time to mourn. Your mom is in a better place, but that doesn't make things easier for you, you still lost someone you loved. Healing takes time, but take comfort in the fact that time will most definitely make things easier, things might get worse before they get better but you WILL feel better. Don't be so hard on yourself, look to yourself with compassion. And if you really " can't snap out of it" and it's bothering you, go talk to someone you love or a professional. Death is just a part of life, but that doesn't make things easier for those left behind, you know? I hope tomorrow brings a brighter day for you.

    Thank you all. I did a lot of crying yesterday and it kind of feels good to cry. I feel I'm kind of reverting to 5 years old. F ed up time to get in touch with your inner child..when his Mom dies. :(

    Crying is nature's way of taking out the trash. Let it flow.

    Sorry of your loss :(
    You shouldn't be expected to snap out of such a major loss in such a short time. I think what you are feeling is perfectly reasonable and to be expected.
