I am really hurting after the loss of my mom.

I am really hurting after the loss of my mom a few weeks ago due to cancer.

 

Hello LisaKirran, my most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear mom. I too lost my mother to cancer in 1986, she was only 46 at the time.
Our moms were the very fabric that took us from walking to weddings, if we're lucky. Nobody will ever love us like they did.

Cheers to mom! Any my prayers go out to you and your grief journey. Be patient, stay focused, and remember that mom wants you to heal from this grief. She invested a lot of good things in you.

Peace,
Michael

 

I lost my mother unexpectedly 2 weeks ago and I'm still in shock/disbelief. It does feel as if I'm in a dreamworld but I know this is my reality for the rest of my life. I've cried but not as much as my father and siblings. Not sure why but I feel a little weird that I'm not crying as much as they are.

 

Hi Mara Wash, I'm so sorry that you lost your dear mother. Try and allow that feeling of being in a 'dreamworld' to be a protective barrier during a time of high emotion and drama. If you and your mom were really close, perhaps another reason you're not crying as much as others is because you had few unresolved issues. You understood her differently than others did...

You're in my prayers for strength and patience during your grief journey. Keep coming back to GIC. We're good listeners.

Thanks so much for those words. It has definitely been a Rollercoaster of emotions but you might have a point about us having few unresolved issues (never thought of it that way...).
I will definitely keep coming back to GIC. This forum has definitely helped me on my grief journey.

 

I am new here as my mother has just passed in October. I have had my moments of tears but not what I expected I would have. After reading your reply here I am thinking that maybe that is why. We were extremely close and our bond was strong. I have no unresolved issues. I am glad I came upon Mara’s post and read your reply.

 

I am sorry for your loss. You have much to be thankful for because you were extremely close, your bond was strong and you have no unresolved issues. Amazing relationship. You must be special and I know your Mom was also.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Every loss is different because every relationship is different for each of us. Sometimes we are in shock for awhile until the reality of our loss begins to sink in, so do not be surprised if things get harder before they get easier again. I am not saying they will, but just letting you know so you won't wonder what is going on if this happens.
Thank you for sharing with us. Please continue to do so if it helps.
Love,
Chris

 

My mom passed in August from Pancreatic Cancer. I'm having emotional bouts with it now. I am trying to deal with my loss but around these holidays it's hard. I think it is finally sinking in that my best friend is gone and Noone can replace her and I feel I have no one to talk to like my mom.

 

I am sorry to hear about your mom. I lost mine to ovarian cancer/lung cancer in October. I am an emotional wreck right now and know exactly what you mean. The struggle is hard, everything is reminding me of her today. From face wash to a show I am watching. I just want to wrap my arms around her again and feel her. I hope you can find some comfort in something today, even if just for a few minutes. My heart is heavy for you and am hoping the pain eases for us both even if only to catch our breath.

 

I am sorry about the loss of your mothers. Yes, the holidays are a struggle, but keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He will comfort you and help you through this difficult time. I know because He helped me to go on after a suicide, when I didn't want to go on.
Hi is the bright spot in my day and my week. He loves you and understands because he wept at the grave of His friend Lazarus.
Hold on to hope.
Chris
