Dear Debbie, I've not lost a mom but I've lost a best friend who was like a mother to me. I can only say how sorry I am for your loss. It's so painful to lose someone you love. I miss Marcia every single day. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about her.
For me, I know Marcia sits on my left shoulder always. I feel her with me every day. Even today, I catch myself picking up the phone to call her. I do however, feel very blessed to have had her in my life for over 16 years. Life would not have been the same for me without my dear, sweet, warm and unconditional loving friend, Marcia. And for that, I will always be truly grateful for the time we had together. I will hold my memories in my heart forever as you will with your mom. I still recall all the fun things we did together and it makes me smile. In the beginning, every time someone mentioned her name I would cry and then as time went by, it seemed to subside. I'm sure your mom will live in your heart forever as well. You will find a way to communicate with her that works for you. It will take time. Time is your friend. Take some time for yourself and do something special for you, to help with your loneliness and pain. Whatever we can do to help you, we will. You can always find emotional support from our entire EmpowHer team and we all extend a virtual hug to you, Debbie. Let us know how you're doing. Take care of YOU right now. Go through the grieving process and take as long as you need. Every person deals with loss in their own way. You will find your way to help ease your pain and hurt. Maybe just posting on EmpowHer has helped you in some small way??? My heart goes out to you!
