I understand how you feel. Only time can help ease the pain, but I don't think we will every stop missing our parents. My Father passed on 04/14/1997 and I still miss him. 14 years after his passing, Mama passed on on 02/14 of this year. She was 80 years old, still, no matter the age, and knowing she was activily dieing the 1st three months were hard. I cryed all the time, these days I cry a bit less, but if something remainds me of Mama, I start crying. I think the 1st year is the hardest, specially if the passing is sudden. I am from Eastern Europe. In our cultur its comment to "wail" or cry with feeling and verbale expression. My daughter felt uncomfortable with my expressions of grief, so I "wailed" when I was alone. It has been five months of Mama's passing, but I shall miss her as long as I live. My world is not the same anymore. There is something so final loosing a mother. May the memories you have give you the comfort you need to face each day. Accept my deepest sympathy and just take it one day at a time. I think crying is good and healing, just make sure you drink plenty of fluids if you cry alot. I wish you peace. PS. My Aviator pisture is of my Mama

My father passed away 13 years ago, April 14 it will be 14 years. I still miss him. When I hear a song that he loved, or I read something I new he was intrested in... it's a bit easier, but I miss him. That year when he passed away, is a total blank. I don't remember anything. Just working and taking care of my child. Mama passed away 23 days ago February 14; Mama was 80. She had a full life. I know she is at rest, but does not make it any easier. Some days are better then others, I am 56 years old and some days I just cry for my Mama.... so, I have to take it one day at the time.... So, dear child, we both have to take it one day at a time......... All I can tell you just as we all are diffrent, we all deal with things diffrently. Do want you need to do for yourself. If it means take out their pictures look at them and cry do it...
