Chris I am so very sorry
I know your mom knew you loved her very much. It is so hard to lose a loved one. Take one day at a timw and you need your whole family to help you through this ordeal. We on this site are also here for you and feel your pain. We have lost several sister in the last few months.and just last week a husband lost his wife. So cry and let it out. God bless you and your family and your mom...val

I am so sorry for your loss.
I am sure your mom knew exactly how you felt about her. There are really no words I can say that can take away the pain you are feeling. It is so cliche but time is the only healer. I have gone through a few difficult times in the last few years and each time I thought I couldn't get past the grief. But I did in time. Talk to people. Talk as much as you need to. Find someone who will listen to whatever you need to say at that moment. Let your feelings out, whether it be sadness, anger or helplessness. And as the last person told you, we are hear for you anytime you need us.

Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure your Mom knew how much you loved her. My Mom passed away in 2004 and I did not get to say goodbye or tell her how much I loved her, but yet I am sure she knew, just as your Mom did. My family still grieves and misses her but we are able to talk about all the good times our family had, look at old pictures and laugh and share stories with her siblings. As others have said, it will take time to deal with your loss. Each family and individual handles grief differently but I hope you will be there to support each other. We honor my Mom in some way at Thanksgiving each year as that was the one holiday when our family could be all together. You will find your own way to keep her memory alive for the family. Prayers go out to you and your family and lets hope that a cure is found soon for this terrible disease.

Mom
First let me say how sorry I am. Of course your mom knew how much you loved her just like you know how much she loved you.
I wish I had some magical words to make the hurt go away but I don't, it will diminish over time and you will get through it.
Know that your mom was proud of you and very lucky to have you by her side.

I am sorry
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how painful this is for you.. I lost my mother to uterine cancer in 2009. She has been diagnosed in Feb. and 4 mos. later she was gone. I think because she had cancer, and it was stage IV, people think we were prepared and it wasn't a shock. It was, because we were told she was getting better, and then suddenly she was gone... just like that. We were left holding the bag.. a lot of questions and no real answers. I too have spent many sleepless nights, wondering, did she know that I loved her or how much I loved her, did she know... a lot of woulda, coulda, shouldas... I think it's normal to feel that way, and I have to believe that our moms did know how much we loved them. You might want to visit the emotional support and grief and bereavement boards as well. A wonderful group of people, who know what you're going thru and can help you immensely. They helped me.
Hugs,

Dear Chris,
I am so sorry
Dear Chris,

I am so sorry you have lost your mom. Just that fact that you fear she might not have known how much you loved her tells me that she really did know. Of course, she knew, and of course, it feels like rock bottom to you. Losing a beloved parent is such a great shock, even when we know it is coming. I'm sure you know, it takes time to stop constantly feeling the pain. Keep your great love for her in your heart and keep on being the person I'm sure she was proud of. If there is anything we moms want, it is for our kids to be happy and live productive lives. She will live on in your memory and in who you are.

Thank you so much
Thank you so much to everyone that commented. Every single comment helped.

This is by the far the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. It's been 11 months of hell.

I'm sick of being sad, crying, seeing depression, putting on a happy face in public. I'm ready for it all to be over.

I miss my mom, and nothing will ever bring her back. But knowing that there are so many other people who have gone through the same exact situation makes it much easier.


Thanks again to everyone. It really does help.

Dear Chris
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom...it sounds like you have already made some peace with it. My Mom is on the same road....and I pray that I can be as strong as you...I hope you were able to make many wonderful memories.......today I drove 20 miles to get Mom her favorite chicken soup......the whole time all I could think about how sad I was going to be when I wouldn't need to do that pain in the neck drive.....I am so sorry for your loss....Lisa

My sincere condolences
I am so sorry for your loss, Chris. The grief you feel today honors her memory and is appropriate for the great loss you have suffered. But you know your mother wouldn't want you to be sad, so when the shock of your grief is not quite so harsh, live your life with the joy she would want for you. (((Chris)))
