My Mom passed away 1 year and 5 months ago.

I joined this community in hopes of finding someone to talk to that's been through similar. My mom got sick with Liver disease in the Middle of July in 2012 and passed in September 2012. She meant everything to me and now I'm just lost without her.

I felt utterly lost when my Mom passed away, too. Nothing made sense in my world anymore. It's been five years and there's still a hole in my heart. It does get easier over time though. I don't think you ever get over the sense of loss but you feel it less acutely.

I'm so sorry for your loss .. my Mom passed away in December of 2010 .. I still miss her and think about her every day.

Time does heal, but there will always be a hole in our hearts.

My mom passed away in 2008.I was 19 years old. Like the others said, it gets better, but you will never truly be the same. While you'll learn to live your life without her, there will still be days where the pain is as fresh at the day it happened. You will learn to live without her though, and life will go on, even without her here to physically guide you through it. I went through lots of milestones without her, and many milestones I went through with her were marred because she was sick at the time(She had breast cancer and struggled for 5 years before she passed away in 2008). But in the end, you will be a stronger person. If you need someone to talk to about it, I would be happy to.

My mom passed away February 13, 2010, and it will be 4 years in less than a week. I feel your pain. I am still lost.

*hugs* so sorry for your loss
I was 16 when my mom died- 16 years ago now-(as of 10 days ago).
It's probably the toughest thing I've ever had to deal with. It gets easier over time, but mostly because you just get used to it. There are always times you wish she was with you- graduation, going to college, first kiss, graduating college, moving away, first real job, getting engaged, married, buying a house.... the happiest times in my life have always been tinged with a bit of sadness because she isn't here to share it with.
You'll get through it. My advice is to talk to her other relatives about her- her mom, her sisters, your own older siblings if you've got them, or even your dad. Talk about what she was like when she was younger, things y ou didn't know about her. Use them to teach you more about who she was.
*hugs*
