My Mother's dead. I don't know what to do. I'll never be able to hug

[Retired Engineer Bob]

62. I am so sorry to hear this

We all grieve at our own pace, in our own way. Your mother’s spirit lives on through your shared memories, cherish them always.

I lost my father in December 2019, grandma in January 2020. Recent cancer diagnosis may have me as the next runner up. I called my mother last night just to let her know how I am doing. I have good days, and plenty of not so good days, yesterday was a definite “not good day”.

I’m usually pretty good with my husband and warn him “I going to be a difficult ass” when he comes home from work on these bad days. I neglected to do this last night with mom. I proceeded to argue with her about my funeral planning, and said some things I now regret. Thank you littlemisssmartypants for the reminder to call her back tonight to try to make amends.

I pray that you are not alone, now is the time you will need to lean people for additional support.
