Hi Everyone, I am new to this site. I found it today,I think through Divine Intervention. My Mom died Oct 26, 2005. She had been suffering from Alzheimers, diabetes, heart disease, so many things. Even with all this, her death was sudden. I am an only child and I was home atleast every other week. (I live about 65 miles from my folks.) On the day she died, I was late getting out of work and when I got the message, I raced home. I prayed all the way for God to keep her there so I could say I loved her and goodbye. She died five minutes before I got there. I was very strong for my Dad. I made the arrangements,greeted and consoled family and friends. I guess I did what I needed to do. I went back to work; I am a teacher. I did fine during the day, but in the evenings. I came home and slept. When not sleeping, I cried. I kept thinking I would get better, but I'm not. I thought this summer break would give me time to deal with it and move on a little, but I am still right here. I don't have the energy to do anything. I see all these tasks I need to do before going back to work and I am overwhelmed. I want to do them,but I just can't seem to persuade myself to complete the task. Will I ever get back to normal?
