you don't "move on". You are forever changed. In time however, I promise that when you think of your mom, one time, completely unexpectedly a smile will cross your face instead of a tear falling down your cheek and in that moment, you will know you made it out of the tunnel. I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you Godspeed in your healing. [ Reply | More

I was as close to my mother as anyone can be. I dreaded her death for 45 years and when she passed I simply could not believe it. It took a full year to get over the initial grief - crying on the way home every day because that was the only time I was alone... then there were paroxysms of grief, suddden and intense. Now 7 years later I still grieve but time has passed. I miss the grief in a way becasue it held me closer to her. Now I have memories of her a little younger, when she was in her prime. I talk to her a lot - this isn't working gotta go.I'll psend a prayer your way. Treasure your memories - you'll see her someday! [ Reply | More

me. Lost my mother in 96 when I was 22yo. I was a basketcase for a long time, not going to lie. we were (still are to me) extremely close and I have no other women in my family at all. It takes time, and when people would tell me this it infuriated me bc it isn't very much consolation when you are looking for comfort. The empty feeling changes into something more bearable as the years pass. But I will never be the same person. Also, having my ds without her last year was harder for me than her passing in many ways. after feeling pretty strong for a long time I now burst into tears out of nowhere when he does something that I know she would love to see or be part of. It is so so hard and I wish you nothing but strength and peace. The one thing that helps me is to think how happy she is for me now that I have my own family and managed to create a wonderful life despite the challenge of losing her so young. [ Reply | More

I lost my mother wheh I was 17. I am 40 now. I remember hearing that at whatever age a woman loses her mother, she is suddenly a child, and I think that is true. As for moving on, I think the sadness just changes from being almost present at every moment to present at certain times to being mostly a happy thing... the memory, I mean. I now can think of my mother in happiness mostly and only as a sad thing when I am in a sad mood. I also was very upset when I realized that I had lived more years without a mother than with a mother. It just mutates... [ Reply | More
