i know that you miss her a lot but you have to keep holding on you cant give up now because she would not want you to. the thing that i am trying to say is that you should try and move forward with your life and keep her as a part of it and never forget her and the things that she taught you.

Answer 2

Both my parents died within a couple years of each other, it was pretty devastating but time heals, it really does. You'll learn to get on with your life without missing your Mum so much after a while, but for now feel your grief and express it, understand you are really in a state of shock and it can make the world seem a bit unreal until you've had time to get used to the new situation...don't do anything rash, just sit it out if you need to and know that things will change ... all things pass, you'll feel happy again and life will be worth living, but it will take some time.

Answer 3

You have to go on. I have lost both of my parents and so many of my other relatives. It is obviously distressing but you have to focus on the good times you had before they died. Memories can never be taken away from you and are what gives us strength to face another day. Also think how your Mother would feel if you decided to end it all should she be watching over you. You are a special person in your own right and as such have to make your mark on the world in whatever fashion it takes so YES there is a point to it all. Dig deep inside yourself and you will find the strength and purpose to carry on. Good Luck and live long and prosper

Answer 4

Yes life is worth living. The pain of loss does not go away but you will learn to live with it and it will reduce with time. Look around you and try and find someone who has not lost a loved one! You are not alone in your loss, it is something we all experience. Just hang in there, it will work out ok.

Answer 5

Sure you can go on,you have no choice,you are spirit and lived before you had this body and will live after it is gone,life is about spiritual growth,you will create problems over and over until you learn the lessons envolved. Base you happiness on your relationship with GOD,the only reality that will never let you down..meantime call up in memory a very happy time and mentally go there when you feel the need to be happy. MY peace ,my LOVE i give unto you.

Answer 6

I am sorry that you lost your mother. What you are feeling is a normal response to the death of a loved one.

There is, indeed, a point in going on. When you go through the grieving process and emerge on the other side, you will have the experience and strength to help others going through this very thing in the future.

And you are finding yourself right now asking big questions, such as, "What is the point of living?" If you pursue these questions, you may very well find the answers. And you will have that experience and strength to pass on as well, to others who are in need.

I would seek God's will for your life. God has a purpose for your life, and if you have not yet sought it, it is ready and waiting for you upon your showing up to claim it. Sometimes, life tragedies that cause us to ask the big questions often land us on our knees, which is where God can do the most work in rebuilding us and fortifying us to live out this life in his grace and mercy.

Answer 7

Oh Gips you must go on with your life, your mom would hate to see you like this and I guess she was a person who loved life too, it really is hard when you lose your mom and yes you do feel like giving up on everything, but believe it or not it really does get easier as time goes by, have you thought of speaking to a bereavement councillor, you know they are really great people and very understanding too, I spoke to one when I lost my mom and without them I wouldn't be able to to tell you how great they are, of course you are finding it hard to function in any area of your life right now, there are several stages of bereavement to go through and you really don't have to go through any of them alone, do you have other family members or friends you could open up to, I really hope so, but please do try the bereavement councillors as they have been in the same situation themselves and are a great help and comfort for you, don't give up Gips, life is precious and your mom really would want you to make the most of yours too.

Answer 8

You will have your mother with you for the rest of your life. Did you know that? The memory of her will be alive in you so much that she will be like she is right inside you. Her Spirit IS right inside you. I am 63 years old, and my mother died in 1981, I have a picture of her on my wall and she is right here with me, helping to guide what I am telling you right now. Spirit is omnipresent, meaning it is everywhere all at the same time. The beauty of it is your mother will make herself felt within you, all you need to do is to open yourself to it, as I have with my own mother. You will never lose this Spiritual aspect of your mum. We are fortunate to be able to accept this presence, especially when that person was so important to us. My heart also goes out to you, Darling, because this is a very great loss in the other dimension. The regular day to day world it is an awful thing to have to go through, but try very hard to remember what I have told you and remember your mum just as she was and is, within you, and that inner Spiritual presence of her memory will just get stronger and stronger, and as it does, so will you. You will come to draw your good judgment and values from the memory of the most wonderful person on earth - your mum. Please accept my condolences for the loss you are experiencing just now, but always remember your mother is only a heartbeat away. If you will become very still inside, you will feel her presence all around you. Take good care, now. Sent with love from, Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

Answer 9

Yes, the very reason you are sad is the very reason you must go on. For her! For she gave you life and would want you to live that life to the fullest. Through you her love will grow into another generation, touching hundreds more people and through you her life will not of been in vain. Through you she will remain an eternal light or beacon for you and those you love, for you will now carry that light/beacon. Through you is the full and complete work of her life.

Love her, honor her, and be at peace in knowing that she is with you and wanting you to go on, for your life is so worth living, she thought so, ask her.

Answer 10

lost my mum 6 years ago in a car crash, I had no faith then, I became a christian 2 years later. There is a point in going on. You are here for a reason, and god will help you through this if you let Him.

Answer 11

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's only normal to feel like an important part of you is missing and to wonder how life can go on. You have to go through a period of grief and mourning before you can begin to go through a period of healing. It's very tough but take heart in the fact that almost everyone who has ever lived before you has had to go through somthing similar at one or more points in their lives and after it was over they had a testimony that they could share with others to help them when it was their turn to go through similar circumstances.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. 2 Corinthians 1:3-6
