Loss of a mother

Lost my mom and to be honest I’ve never felt worse pain. I don’t know how the world continues to go on when one is suffering. My mom was the only person who truly understood me, loved me unconditionally and it hurts so much that she’s gone. My life will never be the same...

Mami, te quiero mucho y jamas pensé que tendría que estar en un mundo sin ti. Espero verte muy pronto y darte un abrazo fuerte. Anhelo mucho el día en que estemos juntas otra vez! Te quiero mucho mami hermosa. I love you.

Con mucho amor y cariño..

I'm so sorry for you I wish I had some magical words that would ease your pain. I feel the same for my mom she is old but I haven't lost her yet. Your mom will always be with you in your heart. I'm sure your mom would want you to take care of yourself and not get too down remembering the good times.

I’m so sorry. She’s never truly gone, still in your memory 🤍 you can go on, it is a part of life but it’s the crappy part about it.

Hi this is Shnookie. What a beautiful tribute to your beloved mother. I speak Spanish as well and your tribute to her in Spanish truly touching. However U wrote in Spanish that U want to give your beloved mom a hug 🤗 very soon. I would say that it might be better to keep your memories of U hugging your mom close to your heart ❤️ and

take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve the loss of your mom. I’m sure that your mom wants U to live a long and joyful life. I lost my mom in January 2016. She was my best friend. She gave me the permission to go on with my life. That was such a gift to me.

It’s true that your life will be different now and now your emotions R probably raw. But always keep your mom in your heart and remember her as U take this new path in your life. Remember I’m here 4 U. If

u want U can contact me privately.

Hugs 🤗 Shnookie

❤️

She will ALWAYS be with you in spirit ! ALWAYS. Guiding and protecting her baby, YOU! Please remember this and hold these words close.

It’s been the only thing giving me peace, as I lost mine , this past year. I’ve been trying to adjust since . It still feels like some movie.

This is now a period to reflect , pray daily , do self-care, sleep well. Basically, try to still take care of you , as she’d want you to. It’ll feel rough in the beginning - trying to find normal again , you’ll want to detach from reality ...but do things you’d normally do , still, anyways. Drag yourself to do things that are daily things , happy things.

I hope you have support of other family members, and Grief counseling REALLY works !

The loss of a parent ...you really feel kind of empty because that unconditional love that was given , isn’t in the physical anymore. But that’s the thing!! It’s unconditional, eternal, it’s forever! So try to hold onto her voice in your mind , that would give advice or when she’d say she loves you. I always hear my mom’s voice , her laugh , see her smile and it’s comforting.

Your mom is now in another form , but she’ll always be with you! Always.

This will take time , like accepting. Grief isn’t linear and it’s many phases you may repeat, heck some may overlap, but keep going ! Don’t give up . It’s a loss for sure, so it’s understandable how you feel. Things won’t be the same yet you’ll learn to handle things yet keep her memory with you !

cry ...yell....write down thoughts , seek support ...tend to self.

Hard truth of the world going onward , it’s like no one cares ..my family was there to remember my mom at outside grounds of a church , haven’t gotten ONE call to ask how I’ve been since then . Not. One. ( not saying your family is this way - just closest example I could find )

The world will go on , that’s what we hate and love about it right? Well, in moments like this, you pause it, take a hiatus and focus on healing !

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. And since it sounds like you had an amazing relationship with your mom, it makes sense that this would be such deep pain. I think the thing about the grieving process that has surprised me most is that even as the deep pain has lessened with time, there are still random times and things which will stir it up again. But I have also noticed that even though the pain and grief can still rise up, I am able to turn it into great memories more easily and more quickly now. Have you had a chance to learn about the grieving process and what to expect in the days, weeks, months ahead of you?

You have perfectly described my experience following my mother's death. It's been 24 years, and losing her is still the worst thing that's ever happened to me. You never really get over it, yet time passes and a different life is created out of the old one. You survive.

Knowing you are not alone may be the best you can expect for awhile. 💜

HeyI lost my mom 6 months ago. She was really my only support. The only one who tried to understand my mental problems. I would have to say that as time goes on i don't miss her any less...it just gets a little less painful. I'm sorry about your loss. I hope you can find support with others. That's what I'm working on.
