Thanks for the reply Marty. I do take it one day at a time. Tomorrow will be one month since my mom died. It was a "good" death - she was in no pain, we didn't force extraordinary measures, we had her moved to hospice when the time was right, she got to say goodbye to family members. And yet. I can't believe how a person you love so much can suddenly just disappear from the face of the earth. It just seems so cruel. My mom was the one person who loved me undconditionally - it's the kind of love you receive from no one else, not a spouse, a child or a sibling. In spite of having a wonderful family, I suddenly feel so all alone. My world has shifted on its axis.
