It’s finally affecting me

I’m finally feeling the weight of losing my Mother.
After the wake, after the funeral, after family has gone, I’m finally feeling the loss.

The house seems so empty without her presence.

I feel so sad.

It’s finally hitting me.

I hope I can manage.

I’m sorry to hear that wave.

Is there anybody who could call over (like your brother or other relatives) to keep you company for a while. I know your father is there but I think you need people around you for a while.

There are family members that stop by from time to time, and my brother stays in touch by phone.
I want to keep busy but I’m feeling too down to do things.

I’ll call my therapist soon.

Thanks @everhopeful

So sorry. I remember when the woman who raised me died. It didn’t hit right away. There’s nothing but time that will heal the loss and it remains a sore scar. I hope you’re able to pull through this.

Hugs to you @Wave I understand what you mean. After the funeral and everyone goes home, that’s when you feel it. Take care of yourself and don’t stay at home by yourself for a while…:hugs:

OMG, @Wave, I’m so so sorry. I know how it feels.
You will get through this. I’m getting through it, even though I know I’ll always miss my mom. The extreme sharp pain of grief subsides after time to a dull ache that doesn’t feel quite as deadly.
Things will still make me cry without warning, even after ten years. But it is survivable. There is still life for you to live and I believe your mom would want you to be happy.
Allow the grief, it’s a process, and allow the happiness too. :heartpulse:

Sorry for your loss @Wave. I lost my Mom in the 70s, so that was many years ago but I still feel very close to her. Love never dies. The love you shared will be with you always. Time will heal. Hugs (((. ))).

I know you miss your mom and can’t bear her not being there. I’m so sorry this is hard but it does get a little easier with time. Just hold on tight and you’ll get through this. Hugs.

Moms are precious, that connection you had with her is irreplaceable and timeless. Time will make you feel better though, and interactions with others.

Please be strong!

Best wishes.

My MOMS was fairly easy, we had a connection, I will see her again. I cried and felt empty for a while. She is missed and occasionally I wish she was here. I don’t like being an orphan at my age. I know that a lot of good is in the past, but I just keep looking forward.
Love to you and your family @Wave in your time of need.
