My mom died a month ago. It happened so suddenly

5. I truly believe your mother is not far away.

I know you don't feel this will be the case, but each day will get easier...not for a while, but in your own time. Don't let your guilt consume you as you did what you could...just not the way you wished. Mom knew and, in her own way, was able to say good-bye.

I had a terrible time letting my mother and father go because they passed 6 weeks to the day apart. A friend told me what helped her was that she pictured her mother beyond a lace curtain sitting in a rocker on the front porch. She felt she was near and that helped her get past the grief. I found that comforting.

Cyber hugs to you and yours.
