I am so relieved to hear that others feel like their mom is on vacation. I wait for the phone to ring and her special way she said hello. Its been 2 months since my mom left unexpectedly and it really stinks..... I miss her so much. Some days I feel like I am alright but then another day it hits me like bricks. I have had a few dreams where my siblings have all been in the kitchen with mom and we were all hugging her it was so weird like she was letting us say our goodbyes. This is a great site to come and vent and hear others share their feelings.Thank you
