Little things increase the pain of my Mom's death. It doesn't take much to cause a flash back. When I hear, see or read something that is even minutely close to that day, I can feel my heart squeeze tight, like it wants to stop.

My Grandma (my Dad's Mom) passed away, six months before my mom. I don't think I had really dealt with Grandma's death, when my Mom died.

My Best Friend's Grandma died, in December, right before Christmas. When she called to tell me, I felt the same as I did the day my Mom died. As she told me what had happened, that day started playing out in my mind, all over again. Her Granny's death was very much like my mom's.

About two weeks ago, she called to tell me that her Mom had suffered a heart attack. (luckily she survived) When she described what the ER doctor had said to her Mom, the questions I have, about my Mom's ER visit, started to surge through my thoughts. I keep thinking about what could have been. What should have been.

With the exception of the first 48 hours, after my Mom passed away, I have not cried or really allowed my feelings. I have to be strong for my family, especially my Dad. When I think, that I might say something about the way I feel, that's when one of my family members will come to me, to talk about their bad day. The few times I have said anything, that's when I'm told, 'she is in a better place.' I hate that statement. So I don't say anything. Now I think I've hidden those feelings, and pushed them so far back, that the next major situation happens, I won't be able to handle it.

I really miss my Mom. Everything changes when your parent dies. It's like you check out of your body. Your world collapses, and picking up the pieces is not easy.

I feel like my Mom was stolen from me. She and I were so close. I had promised her that I would be there for Dad, if something happened to her. I know that is the only reason why I'm still here. A BIG part of me died that day.View Thread
