Hi Missy
I sure
can understand how you feel. It has only been 9 months for us since we lost our
son. And yes it still feels like yesterday. People want us to be “over it”
so it will be easier for them. Gee if they only knew how we wish we were over
it also. But take heart, I have heard that this will pass. That one day we will
feel better. And if it isn’t today then do not be so hard on yourself.
God picked the time of your mother’s passing and He will pick the time
when you can say your grief is over. In the meantime feel what you do and don’t
worry about anyone else. All this is hard enough.

later and it still feels like only yesterday
Hello
everyone, Its been awhile since I last posted a message. I
lost my mom August 16,2006. It seems like only yesterday though. I
am having a difficult time dealing with things. Some people don't
understand why I am still grieving over my mother.
I find it very awkward to go over to her house to see my step-dad.
He doesn't seem to understand and he thinks i am avoiding him. The
last time I spoke to him was at the end of March. He calls me only
when he wants me to run an errand for him. He has a son and a
daughter who are both grown and they have families of their own. He
was not on speaking terms with his kids for 5 years. Now that my mom
has passed on he has his kids back into his life and it hurts me to
know that they disrespected my mom and avoided us through the years
and to show up and act as if nothing happens when my mom died.
any advice is greatly appreciated!
