Sorry to hear about your mum. Losing a loved one is never easy. I said farewell to my wife last February and, to be honest, I'm not really over it almost a year on. They say time is a healer - but nobody says how long that time will be.
Nobody can say Eric. You never really get over it you just learn to live with it better.Ferodocastrol said:
Although you didn't know her, my mom, 14 Dec 2019 at 15:21, I was with her at the very end stroking her face and telling her I lover her.
She was famous to me.
Sorry to hear but unlike many you got to say goodbye and your mum will have known you loved her whilst she was alive as well no doubt.She was famous to me.

I don't think it heals at all, not when you lose someone so important, it's how you choose to fill the void that matters, Bright Halo said:
The passing of time does make a difference in that I used to get really upset thinking about my dad but now I smile with memories of things we did together.
Still miss him loads 20years on, so much I would liked to have shared with him and asked for advice on.
Definitely a +1 from me. Exactly how I feel 14 years on. Still miss him loads 20years on, so much I would liked to have shared with him and asked for advice on.
I went for my usual coffee at the drive through on Tues on my way to work, the girl at the counter who is about 45 and suffered a brain tumor a few years ago, lovely girl, I have sort of go to know, I asked where she had been for last couple of weeks and she informed me that her dad died on the 14 Dec, I said what time did he die, she looked confused and said '4:00pm why', I said, my mom died 20 mins before your dad!

We ( brothers and sisters) are now the elder generation.
Even though Mrs Fox and ! have been parentless for the last 20 years minimun, we still have the urge to ring them up and tell them what our grandkids have just done/said and wonder how they would have took to them.so we still think they are around.
Whilst believing in the afterlife is quite low down on my possibility stakes,sometimes it just pulls you up for a second.
Having said that with the advancement of cine/video etc they can still 'be there' whenever you want. Still pics are nice, but a movie, esp if you are in it as well is a wonderful healer.
As has been said he first years of anniversaries and significant dates, is over, it does get easier, and you would have to have a hard heart not to get a bit weepy. I do and Mum went in 1998 and Dad in 1986. But lookin gat the two grandkids is a bloody good tonic, esp when they now of and age where stories of their G-Grandparents can be absorbed for future telling in 50 years or so
If you haven't done if start up a family tree for them. I am back to the mid 1700s and much to my annoyance have hit a brick wall on a possible 'step line. where my GG Grandad had one child before wife 1 died and my line carried on for the issue of the second marriage.
So many hints and conjecture say i am 90% correct, but they are not proof !!
