I don't know what to tell you besides I feel you pain. My mother passed away unexpectedly February 10. She suffered from severe depression and after several times of taking pills and trying to take her own life, this time, she was successful. It hurts down to the core. Nothing takes the pain away and I truly feel like I cannot move forward. In my situation, I keep trying to tell myself that time will heal all the pain and that she is not suffering anymore. That is all that gives me any comfort! I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew there was going to be a day that I would have to deal with this, I just didn't know it would be so soon... my mother was only 54 (young, just like your mother). Again, I'm sorry!

Loss of my Mother
I lost my mom feb.3rd 2012 a day before my birthday. It was the worst day of my life. Me and my mom was very close. I still cant believe my mom is gone. Its like part of my heart split into two pieces. One piece of my heart is gone. I cant even describe the pain i feel. Losing a mother is painful to the extreme core. Can't nobody or anybody replace your mother.

Loss
Feel so sorry for my poor dad left on his own - we live in a separate country. They were over with us for Xmas when mum took ill and died on 27 January. Am glad I was with my dad at the end. I have arranged for CRUSE to contact him as he is totally lost. An awful thing to happen to us all .

death of your mother
Ladies I am so sorry to hear about your losses. My mum too passed away 12 Feb after knee surgery and also suffered a stroke the day after. They showed me the scans of her brain, 1/2 of it had died and I just can't believe it. She too was my rock, I feel physically ill, can't stop crying in waves of despair and am living a fog...I can't work, can't function, I'm just not sure I will ever feel better about this. It took just 3 days for her to pass from stroke, she was a young and spritely 71, and although much older in mum years, god I miss her.

It's been 20 days since she died. I am struggling so. This is my third day back to work. I sit and read emails she had sent to me. Still in a fog sometimes things move in slow motion. Just doesn't seem real. My mother was an entricle part of me and my siblings lives. She was our backbone. I will forever remember the year 2011 - 2012. I had a bilateral mastectomy Feb 3, 2011 due to cancer. My mother was right there with me all the way. Just as I was at the end of my plastic surgery, she was diagnosed with cancer in August 2011. She died Feb 1, 2012. It went full circle. This pain is unexplainable.....

Losing my mum
I lost mu mum on 13th January 2012. It still feels like a big gaping hole has been left in my life that I dont know how to fill. I also had to make the decision to stop treatment and although I dont feel guilty about that decision I do feel guilty about not saying things I should have said to her. We didn't want to tell her she was dying as she was scared of dying, but towards the end she knew and told my Dad she would wait for him in heaven. This still breaks my heart. I keep picturing her in hospital and I dont want that memory. I want a nice happy memory to come to me but they are not coming. I am scared about what will happen to me if anything happens to my Dad as I am an only child and I am not married and do not have children. I am scared about what will happen to me when I die. My mum woudl have been able to reassure me but she is not here
