In reply to the discussion: My Mother's dead. I don't know what to do. I'll never be able to hug [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)80. Hugs to you.
My mom died in 2010. She was in home hospice so she died at home and peacefully. She had Dementia so it was like losing her twice. She was a brilliant woman before that. A wonderful cook and she had a great sense of humor. She was always there for me and I tried to be there for her in her last years.
I miss her so much. I still have her ashes and I have my sons ashes too. I brought them with me when I moved from California. I feel so terribly lonely without them.
Your happy memories of her will come back. Just give yourself the time and room you need to go through the steps of the grieving process. It will heal you. A lot!

My mother's physical body died in 2016, but she is still with me. Yours is too.
