Missing my mom

[missnmom]

My mom died unexpectedly after surgery 1 1/2 months ago.  Last week I had to deal with Grandparents day at my son's school (with no grandparents), thanksgiving, and my mom's birthday was sunday.  It was a rough week.  She was my best friend.  She was the one I always turned to for everything.  I guess I feel like she was the one who really cared. Now I feel like an orphan. I can't believe she is gone.  Now I'm struggling as my friends ask me how I'm doing.  If I even hint life is hard, it feels like they are tired of hearing it.  I don't know if I'm just not strong enough for this whole thing. I have a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful kids age 7 and 4. I just can't believe they have to grow up without her.  I'm looking for on-line support as I feel I need to let this out.  Are there on-line support groups, maybe even daughters who've lost their moms, that I could turn to? 

For all those out there crying right now, I'm with you too.  May the love of your lost one and god's strength give you hope and courage to face another day.

I lost my Mom in Sept, today somebody ask how my Thanksgiving was, I said wonderful, of course it wasn't, but I too feel that people don't want to hear the truth.  Here in this  forum we can let our grief out and that is helpful!
