I lost not only my mum but my best friend on the 8th of August 2008. Since this day my life seems to have been on hold. I am a single parent with 4 fantastic childeren. I have 3 boys age 19, 16 and 15. I also have a very precious daughter age 12.Whome without I could not have coped with her funeral. Not a day would go by without my Mum being in contact one way or another. She was always up for a laugh no matter how hard things were. I always remember her saying to us you`ll be sorry when Im gone and we used to laugh and think nothing of it but o my god was she right!!! People tell me things will get easier but I would like to know when because so far they have only got harder. I feel like my hearts been ripped out. help!

Hi Hilary, I am so sorry for your loss...My heart goes out to you...I know how you feel... I lost my mom over 3 years ago and I still miss her so much...She was a wonderful mom and always there for us...When I found GTS it made me feel like she was still here with me...Because I can talk to her and can come and visit with her everyday..I can't visit her at her grave because she is buried miles away, so this is where I come to see her....It didn't get easier yet for me but I feel better when I come in here..The pain will always be there...I think of her everyday...Be strong for you kids they need you..And always talk to her it will make you feel better like she is still here and listening to you... xxx

bless you hun its so hard losing someone whos such a huge part of our lives i know that feeling of your heart being ripped out but then i feel the pain again and realise its still there! aching and bleeding close to giving up. the pain doesnt ease but we start coping in little ways .. take one day at a time hun ,, there will be good days and they will get more frequent as time goes on but them bad days will always be with us so sorry i cant give you much hope but thats what comes with loving someone so much xxx

Hi,i lost my mum just under a month ago on monday 20th october 2008.Reading what you wrote really touched me as it was like i had written it about my mum.Not everyone has the closeness and friendship with their mothers like we had and thats something to be very greatfull for.We were very lucky and honoured to have had that.Like yourself im finding it very hard to deal with and it gets harder every day as we were always in contact weather by phone or in person.My dad is coping worse than me as she was his everything.They never had any friends at all as they were best friends and that was enough for them both and now that she's gone he feels so lost but im trying my best to comfort him and be there when ever he needs me.Anyways,just wanted to say hi.Take care and god bless.Cathy x

Hi
I lost my mum nearly 2 years ago and I am still not coping well.I honestly don't know how long it takes to get over it or how you learn to live with it! Its difficult for me as both my parents are gone now!
Regards Linda
My Mum My Friend and my world
My mam died on 23 April 2008 and was only 48, my mam should not have gone the way she did. No one should go through this pain at all. People say it will get better, but to be honest it doesn't. As time goes on it gets harder and harder. I lived with my mam and I am the youngest daughter, not seeing or giving my mam a cuddle and kiss breaks my heart every day.
All you have to think about is your mam is safe and is in heaven and will be waiting with arms out wide for you waiting to give you the big cuddle and kiss. Your mam will be looking down like mine saying don't cry or don't always think of the bad things, but you just can't help it.
It helps to say a prayer every night and there she will listen and hopefully be in your dreams xx
