I get very attached to the people I love ( way way too much )

[isidorabass]

Hi everyone. So I have this problem. I am very very very attached to my mum, we're very close, and she is leaving for Germany in less than 2 days. She'll be gone for 3-5 weeks, and I know this sounds stupid, but I don't know what am I going to do without her.. I'm used to her being gone for 15 days, but this is way to much for me.. 😔

isidorabass, I will admit that is a long time but she will be coming back. That's what you need to concentrate on. In a lifetime, 3-5 weeks isn't that long. I think that's beautiful to be so close to your mom. I'm sure there are many mothers who would envy that closeness you have. Depending how old you are, I am sure you possess many of her qualities and traits. Do the things that she would do if you were gone that long. If able to, talk to her via internet at least once a day so you still feel she is not far from you. Write a daily journal of what you did and felt each day she was gone. Present it to her when she returns. I am more than sure she will be touched by that jester.

Marking the days off on a calendar will be a positive step as each day brings you closer to seeing her again. If you can have family around you during that time, that would help. Prepare for the day she comes home. Think about all the things you appreciate about her. You can write them on a small piece of paper, fold it and place the notes in a clear jar with a ribbon around the top.

Buy or pick some flowers the day she is due home, what woman doesn't like to see a vase of fresh flowers. Don't let her worry about you. Let her know that you are doing fine, you miss her but you are your own person. So you can be thinking about your mom, missing her and yet keeping busy by doing things that remind you of her.

I think you will do fine. Don't forget to use the forum when you get lonely. We will help support and comfort you during those weeks she is away. I hope this helps some. Let us know when she leaves and how you are doing. x
