I miss my mom so much

I'm 23 and I lost my mom in April. The pain is getting worst the more time passes - I thought it will be the other way. Her illness and death deeply traumatised me and I can't stop thinking about it. But the worst part is when I see something she'd like or I want to tell her abt something and I can't. I miss her so freaking much. I feel rly disconnected from all my friends who date, move out or get new jobs while I'm dealing with something I shouldn't deal with for many years to come...I'd do anything to just talk to my mom for one, more minute.

    It was your last line that hit me

    My Dad said that repeatedly after my Mum passed just at the and of July. They had been together for 70+ years.

    I'm a lot older than you Annie, and I miss my Mum too. That said, at her funeral, I pushed myself to say words, and the most important were "my Mum wouldnt want me to be miserable jsut because she'd died". I absolutety know this to be true.

    Grief is ***. But it is just part of what we feel as good people.I absolutely, 100% know my Mum wouldnt want me putting my life on hold. So I feell sad when its ok, toast her with a wee whisky when I can, and honour her passing by being as good and positive as I can be. Its incredibly hard, but the alternative is worse
