Answer 1

This is called bereavement. I suggest seeing a counselor as soon as possible. If not, talk to a friend or a relative of the family about your problems.

Answer 2

I am so sorry for your loss. You are grieving and what you are feeling is normal. In time, you will not feel so empty; but for now what you are experiencing is a significant loss. No one can replace your mom. It might help to write down some of your favorite memories of her in a special book, and add some pictures.

Do you have family members that you can talk with about your feelings, and about your mom? That can be very good to help you through this time. Grief support groups are also very good as it is important to let out your feelings, and cry when you need to.

Counseling can also help. These people are trained to help you understand your feelings, and make sense of your life now that such an important person in it is gone.

I sympathize and empathize with you. I, too, lost my mother. While the pain will never totally go away, in time, you will find a place for it that is manageable.

Best wishes.

The emptiness is part of the grieving process. Your body and psyche are trying to work through the loss. The good news is that the emptiness will eventually go away. A lot of people find it can take a year to fully grieve the loss of someone so important in their life, sometimes longer. However, there will come a day when you feel better. Give yourself time and don't become impatient. You just lost one of the most important people in your life.

Answer 4

I know how you feel. I lost my uncle 1 month ago and I feel the same way. On top of that my sister has abandoned her kids who I am taking care of. The best thing I can say is to stay strong and talk to your loved ones and the people around you. It is better to get your feelings out than to keep them in and have them grow on the inside. It will pass with in time. good luck to you and if you need to talk well just message me I will be more than happy because I know how you feel. Take care.

Answer 5

awww hugs to you, i lost my mom not much longer than you and i still feel the same, and everybody is on my assssss about it, telling me to get on with my life wtf, that was my mom, my heart, my inspiration, i still cry every night and day, and have ahard time getting out of bed, but it has gotten a little better, it takes time and that is all, just think she is in a better place and u will meet her some day. I guess im not the one who should be giving any advice out except it takes alot of time some more than others. Just grieve until you are ready to be you again and dont worry about what anybody else thinks. hugs to you and may you get over that emptiness.

Answer 6

Check out the book "How to Survive the Loss of a Love" - it applies to parents, friends, relatives and it's a quick read.

And speaking of friends... getting out and doing stuff, with or without a friend can be a good way to start working your way back to the surface.

Best wishes!

i'm real sorry for your loss. when my mom died i went through that too. it got so bad, i wanted to go with her. it will go away. i promise you. start talking about her. share stories with your friends and family. it took about a year for me but, everyone is different. visit the cemetary,write her a letter and tell her everything you're feeling. if none of this helps, contact a local grief support group. they can really help. god bless. feel better.

Answer 9

oh I'm very sorry to hear that but if u just let go it might make it a little easy and maybe if you get a dog it might cheer u up.

or u could call a friend and tell them how you feel.

or u could go grab a piece of paper and write down how u want to feel and how u dint want to feel.
