Anyone on who has lost a parent or a spouse, or god forbid a child? What happens as time goes on? Do you start to forget about them or having trouble calling things up about that person? I recently lost my mom and feel desperate that I'm going to forget about her. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I lost my mom & my best friend. I found it took a long time for me to get past the memories of their last, painfilled years, a long time till I could remember the earlier, more fun, loving memories. Don't know if it will be the same for you but my memories just got better. [ Reply | More

Oh my. I think I love you. That's exactly what I needed to hear. I'm so sorry about your mom and your friend. My mom was my best friend, so I somewhat understand your loss. How long have they been gone? I am really so sorry to hear that they were in pain, but I understand that. I was diagnosed with PTSD after my mom died. [ Reply | More

My best friend died of aids 15 yrs ago & I named my son after him. After my Mom died six years ago I gave birth to twins so I always said she was such a big life that it took two to replace her. I do feel they live on somewhat in my children & certainly through me. I would not be the person I am today without them so every day I am here, they are too at least a little bit. It is wonderful that you were so close to your mom but she would have wanted you to focus on your life and your family's not on her passing - would you want your children be mired in that pain?

I've really recovered and don't feel mired in the pain, but every once in a while, I just have a day that I miss her so much I could just scream. It still seems unreal to me. I feel like we should be able to petition someone or somewhere to get her a furlow to come home for a weekend. [ Reply | More

I am sitting up totally depressed thinking about my father. He died 2 years ago. His birthday was on the 11th. I miss him so much. He used to ride me on his bike when I was a kid and the other day I cried the whole time I was riding my bike thinking about him. Even though I was sad, I was so happy to have those great memories of him. It comes and goes. [ Reply | More

I'm sorry about your dad. You're right, though. It totally works comes and goes. I will be doing the most random thing and the strongest memory will play out in front of my eyes. So startling and so wonderful. [ Reply | More

I should add that you will NEVER forget. My mother talks about her parents like they were here yesterday. I kind of felt like I was going to forget too, then little things pop up that remind you of them. I am so sorry to hear about your mother. It is so hard... [ Reply | More

I just lost my father a couple of weeks ago. I am really struggling both with memories and grief that come on at odd times, and with horribly vivid thoughts about death, and desperate sad thoughts and questions about the afterlife. I don't know how to answer your questions, but I'm so right there with you... [ Reply | More

^^I'm also perpetually thinking about how little time we have on this earth, and am worried about all my other loved ones dying. And my own death. And how, dh and I have been together since we were 11 and it just doesn't seem right that we die alone... or do we? And, suddenly, I'm desperate to have children, am TTC #1 like gangbusters having only lost my father right before the 4th of July, and am terrified I won't be able to have a family or something. I hope this all gets better. [ Reply | More

I just lost my grandmother 2 wks ago. I didn't cry when she passed (she was very sick) but just this week, I was thinking about my childhood and how amazing she was with me. I just started to cry on the bus. I think she will always be with me but I'm glad she isn't suffering anymore [ Reply | More
