That's a tough situation and I'm so sorry for your loss. You should definitely talk openly about this with other family members and friends. You should also consider seeing your doctor for depression. Since you can't bring your mom back, try to focus on how to celebrate her. Put together a memorial with her pictures, hobbies and guest speakers. Did she have any dreams? Live out some of her fantasies for her. Feel her passion and feel her spirit inside you. The mourning period needs some closure so you can move on with your life. Try talking with more people like teachers, counselors, and even strangers. Cry a lot. Also...go ahead and talk to your mom. Ask her for advice and let your heart guide you. But don't ever give up!

my parents died a looooong time ago.  but, i found an exercise, to help me resolve issues with my dad. it was in a magazine somewhere sometime.  the excercise goes like this:\nset your chair opposite your dead parents chair.  sit down and tell 'him' what happened and how you felt.  go sit in the parent's chair.  speak for him and explain what happened and tell yourself what you really need to hear from him.\ndo this over and over until you work all issues and you have peace in your heart.\n\nmy dad did several things that only an adult could be able to deal with.  so as an adult, i dealt with him in this way.\n\nyou really know more about the reasons now that your grown so this way you realize it wasn't as serious as it seemed then.  a more violet situation may take professional help.

You will NEVER feel the same..BUT you don't have to hurt...thinking about her and remembering her is wonderful....it will be painful for a time but if it lasts too long talk to a priest or get therapy. I lost 2 children and my father. It hurt like hell for years and years and years...BUT I got help also I decided THEY don't want me to suffer and I will see them again in HEAVEN.....so I no longer suffer. I talk up at the sky to them at night here and there..the times get  less often but they are everywhere.....do whatever makes you feel at peace.....but remember she loves you and doesn't want you hurting..rmemmber the good times and if it helps say you are sorry for the bad times..she can hear you and you will feel better!

I am sorry to hear about your loss. My grandmother died last year.  You need time to heal, especially since she was close to you.  Talk to friends and family...I am sure they will help.  Do hobbies you love..like sports, collecting, and just going out with friends..it will help you cope.

I'm very sorry to hear of the sudden, tragic death of your uncle.  He was obviously very dear to you.\nTry talking with your mother and father about how you feel.  Maybe they can tell you more about the good times they had with your uncle.  If you have any other uncles or aunts, try talking with them too.\nGrief is a terrible thing to endure, but try to remember that your life goes on.  You can best honor your uncle's memory by living your life to the fullest, just like he would want you to do.\nHope this helps, even a little bit.

Bake him cupcakes...be nicer than usual but not to where its abnormal. Greiving people need a sense of familiarity. I know because I lost my mother three months before hurricane hit and destroyed my home, city, and school. The changes and lack of familiarity to where I was and the friends I wouldn't see for months made coping with my mother's death unbearable. Coping is easier when you continue with life as it was and seeing familliar friends, and that's what you are to him. Be there for him, encourage group activities with your best friend, he and some of his friends to distract him. When you lose someone that close to you, they are on your mind constantly for quite some time, so you and and your friends should be coming up with fun ways to distract him. As a grieving son, he will be so thankful that he had friends to help him get through the hard times.

Sounds all too familiar with me. My grandmother, who basically raised me  and was also my friend and support system, passed away a little over two years ago...and I still haven't let go. I still find myself sitting and thinking and ending up in tears because I miss her so much. It is very difficult, but you have to remind yourself that she is still with you everywhere you go, and no matter who you become. She will always be with you because it was she who helped to shape you into who you are today...you'll never forget that. How do you get over that? You just deal with it day by day and it will get better. You might also want to keep something near you that she'd given you, or something that reminds you of her...if you need to talk to her, hold it, and speak your mind. I know it sounds stupid, but it works. \n\nIf you do, however, feel that things are getting way out of hand, maybe you should consider therapy. I probably should have! :) Just keep your head up and remember the good things...you'll be fine. My condolences....

Call the utility companies, be prepared to give them a copy of the death certificate or obituary.\n\nSo sorry to hear about your mother.

Keep yourself busy doing something good for others and take it hour by hour. Time is the only thing that helps ease the grief-- but there will always be a part of you wishing for the happier moments with the one you lost.

I have kinda been there before. My hubbies mom passed away and it was horrible. What you can do is just be there for him. Maybe you and your bf can spend the day with him and make it a day no one will forget. Sometimes all you can do is be quiet and listen to what they have to say. It helps. Good luck I hope that it all works out for you.

You know i have that same problem.  Don't know my DAd and my Mom passed 7 years ago.  Maybe someone in your family can help you out.  I wish you the best of luck.  Or maybe call the Maury Show.

I date my life to everything that occurred before and after my Dad's passing.  His passing took a major toll on me, and changed me from a reasonably happy person to one who held her grief in, and became an angry and bitter person in the process.  Hard as I try I can't seem to bring back the old me, who used to love to sing along with the radio in the car, or devote herself to her family, without sometimes resenting them, because they demand so much of her time.  I know I could have been a lot better mother than I have been to my children.  I want that for my children, so I wish I could go back to that moment in my life, and find the time and strength to grieve, instead of running from the pain that I have been hiding in my heart for so many years.

You do have a void in your life. You miss the parents you wish you had. My father passed away more than twenty years go when i was a little girl and i still am having a hard time with it. I don't remember conversations and never got to know him. I miss what i could of had. There is no real getting over it. It's more of accepting the way things are. I know i can't bring him back and it sucks. One thing i read recently i wish i could remember where. The article was about making a patch work quilt in your mind with the people in your life that have the qualities that you would want in a mother or father. Say you have a friend who is really good at listening, that can be a piece of what a mom is to you. Someone else in your life who encourages you is another part of what a mom is to you and slowly you piece together a mother. Instead of getting all of a mom in one person many people end up fill the void that is empty. It will never be the same as the real thing but that is where acceptance is a huge part of learning to cope. You will always miss them and wonder what life would be like with them. I wish i had a better answer for you. Sincerely,if during my journey in finding acceptance with my fathers death i learn something better i will let you know.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. my mom pass away not long ago so  I know your pain, I can tell you that you never stop missing her and it's hard around the holidays. I will pray for you that God comforts you doing your time of sorrow. he already has your mom and although you miss her and still need her she is pain free and in a better place.

Your mom isn't going to change now. She is not going to change unless she wants to. I think you realize this. You need to step back and deal with your own life. She isn't good for you, just because a mother gave birth doesn't mean you have to have a friend in her.
