4 mos and I still am depressed

Posted on February 3, 2010 at 3:50am 2 Comments 0 Likes

I am so sick of it. I lost my mom in late Sept. I have done everything I can to get thru this and it's 4 mos later and I just can't take the emptimess I feel anymore.
I just want to die and not wake up. Everyone says it'll get better. I believed them and it hasn't. The calls and emails have stopped and when I do contact someone, it's as if they have moved on and I haven't. I am out of ideas. I just want to run.

Losing MOM = my best friend

My mom passed a few weeks ago.

I spent 3 weeks packing up her belongings. My siblings came in and took anything of practical value and left the meaningful, sentimental stuff. I made little pkgs for ppl who really cared for mom. Her glasses went to Lighthouse for the Blind, her hearing Aids went to Disabled Vets and her clothes and shoes went to a Battered Women's Shelter.

Now I am back home. And no matter how much I know I did the best I could and how many ppl tell me how beaut the… Continue

I'm glad to know that others feel lonely as well. Sometimes I feel like I am having bizarre feelings. It sounds like it is 'normal' to feel lonely even though I have a BIG family. Thanks for your on-line support. :)

It just seems like once they loaded him up with the pain medication and gave him some relief....he died a day later. I do try to keep in mind that he is in a better place and like you said isn't it anymore pain and isn't in a place (hospital) that he absolutely hated.

I have had some doubt as to whether or not I did the right thing when I woke him up on 3/5/10 and took him to the hospital. He died the next day. I promised him that he would be going to be 'stabalized' and that I would bring him home. My brain tells me that I did the right thing....my heart is saddened because it was just too quick for us that are left behind.

My heart goes out to you. I also have a distant family who I don't always understand. They can be quite nasty.

So here is my serious advice. I hope it helps and I hope it makes you laugh. Go to the Goodwill and pick out a nice momento for your Aunt. Keep the real keepsakes and the heck with your Aunt. It will be your little secret between you and your Mom. : )

Take care and know God loves you and your guardian angels are there with you. Ask them to help you sleep. I am finally getting to the point that I can sleep for about 6 hours.

Last night i took a walk after I ate dinner. It really helped my mood. I know what you mean as far as a Mom being special to you, like no one else. I remedy the loss by thinking her in a lovely warm, sunny place, where she is totally happy. I still talk to her a little and find she is close to me. I really think she hears me and she responds. This is not crazy talk. If you let yourself believe in the afterlife, to me it is just a veil away. We are forever connected in our hearts. We never lose that connection. I hope that helps. And from my real experience, there are guardian angels and there is a God. I was with my Mom when she died. She called out, "Father, come Father" I think she was calling to God or it could have been her own father. I think it was God. I can also tell you other stories which prove to me there are angels and there is a God.

I hope your day is blessed. There are many good people out there in the world. I know it seems like everyone is out for themselves; but that is not true. I am not. i truly feel for people and I would not do anything to hurt them. You are not alone. Your Mom is still with you.

Watch the show "Touched by an Angel" on the Hallmark channel. I have been watching that channel for a couple of months. All the stories are nice ones. Maybe that would help you too???

Take care and have a nice day. I hope things are going better for you. Keep a sense of humor about the keepsakes! Put a dustball from your Mom's house in the Goodwill item. Then you can say, it's from your Mom! : ) Keep up your spirits. Your Mom would want you to have a good life until you meet her again. Love,.....
