I understand where you're at. It's been nearly 10yrs since I lost my mother & I still miss her very much; we were very very close. I think about her every day but as time passes the pain eases. Only 1 yr out your pain is still quite fresh but it really will get better.

I can honestly say I know from first hand experince on how you feel. My mum passed away on May 19th, 2002. My DH posted the event of the C@-Board, and the out-pouring of love & support that I received helped me get thru a difficult time. Believe me when I say this, the pain does ease with time. No, you never get "over-it" and nor should you, she was and is your "Mum" and you will carry her in your heart and thought's daily until comes a time when you meet up with her again. There isn't a day goes by when I don't hold some conversation with my mum, knowing that she does hear me and is with me. Like yourself and all human beings, we just miss their "physical-presence", not being able to "pop-over" for a visit or even just to pick up that phone for a chatter. That's why I tell my DH and DD that, "I Love You" everyday, because our tomorrows are never promised. Take your time to mourn and grieve, and rest in the comfort knowing you are surrounded by friends here on the C@-Board. My thought's & prayers are with you. :angel

Thank You so very much. There are so many things I want to talk about with her. Things only a mom would understand...menopause...etc...
Just to hear her voice again you know.

I know, sometimes I feel the same way, as it's just Eddie, Tricia and myself here. On both sides of our families, both sets of parents are deceased. The Menopause thing I completley understand as I was right in the middle of it when my mum passed away, I'm in "Post-Menopause" right now, so if you have any questions, please feel free to p.m. me anytime! :D I miss my mum's "voice" also, she had that "Eliza-Dolittle" cockney accent and was a riot to talk to, plus the "comfort" of her just being a phone call away, it's like having a security-blanket that's no longer there, it'll take time my friend, in the meantime, if you just need someone to talk to, please feel free to e-mail me!:thumb

I totally understand where you are at. I too lost my mom in Nov 2004. I sometimes forget and try to call and then I remember I can't.
We live pretty close, let me know if you would like to meet sometime.

Thanks kitten. I'm almost post meno now. I think everyone here will agree that when you're sick or not feeling well, only a mom can make you feel better quicker. I have a great hubby, but Moms are the best. :)

I lost my mom when I was 18 and I think about her every day. I wish she could have known my children as she would have loved being "grandma" and I am in menopause now but I know that my mom didn't go through it because she passed at 48. It never goes away but I have found that over time I have remembered more of the happy memories and less of the sadder memories of her illness and passing. I also find that I do not get as sad when I think of her now.

Please accept a cyber-hug as I, like others, know how you feel. Time may ease the pain of loss, but you never forget. My Mom dropped dead on her birthday and 1983, my Dad passed away of cancer in 1986. After all these years, I still fight back tears at times.

I understand competely. My Mom died in 1996 and my Dad in 2003

My brother looked at me at Daddy's funeral and said, "Now we are orphans."

We were close, and I miss them daily. In fact still will hear a song on the radio, or see something and think I will have to tell Mom that, and it kind of startles me.

Sorry I can't help you on the menopause thing. My Dr just ran tests on me and I have not even started, and I know I am older than you!

Hi Connie,
I had a partial hysterectomy in 2002, I kept my ovaries but My Dr. said I would go through it early. I started going through it in 2006. at the age of 43 :(

My Mom had a hysterectomy when she was 51 and had shown no signs of starting menopause. She said her mother didn''t ever speak of anything like that to her, so she never knew if her Mom (who died at 58) had gone through it or not.

Like I said, my tests showed I was not even started, and I will be 59 in Oct. But then there have always been problems for me in that area, so maybe I am just making up for all the problems I had before. Even the drs never could figure it out. I was told I was definitely not pregnant when I was 6 months with my son.

I still have my mother and we're selling both our homes in order to buy one together. I want our last years, however many are left, to be closer physically. she only lives two blocks away right now, but I worry about her through the day and we talk several times a day. From what I have heard from others..."You are never old enough to lose your mother...you'll always need her." Calgon is correct. She'll be with you tonight, more than ever before.
