It will be 3 months on Monday, Sept. 6 since my mom left us. I still feel so lost and empty without her, but I have no choice but to go to work, mingle with my family, etc. No one at works ever brings it up either. Its as if nothing has happened to me mentally and emotionally, but they don't understand. I read someplace where we have to go through all the seasons (so basically a year) and our grieving may become somewhat better. I am dreading winter and Christmas, but somehow with God's strength we will get through it all. I feel so horrible for my dad since they werer married for 58 1/2 years and he was basically her care giver. That breaks my heart so I'm trying to be strong for him. Sometimes being strong is SO HARD! Hang in there! This site sure has helped me to know there's other people going through this.
