What's wrong with me?

[mom2jared]

It's been a year since my mother passed away from Ovarian cancer and I can't seem to get back into my normal routine. I thought I was getting past this and moving on with my life, but this weekend I suffered a setback. I got frustrated about something, needed my mom and BOOM! The tears started to flow. My mother has been gone since May 2, 2010 and I still can't get past her death. I feel like everyone in my family; my Dad and brother have moved on and I am the only one suffering. I'm 41 years old and I am crying like a baby! My work is suffering because I can't concentrate and I'm making stupid mistakes. I need help!

I have no one to talk to about this other than my grief counselor who I don't see until two weeks. I feel so alone and I don't know what to do!

Please tell me this is normal!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, my mom has been gone for 2 years now, and i still have my moments of feeling really sad about her not being here with me. It takes time and make sure not to be too hard on yourself in the meantime. I honestly don't know if losing my mom is something that i will ever get over, it is really hard.

Your are more then normal! It took me a couple of years to even begin to start the healing process of losing my dad, and I can honestly tell you that there are times when I am still trying to deal with it. When my dad passed away I went from being a 37 year old woman to being that 4 year old little girl that just wanted her daddy back. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through, and I am not sure I will ever totally get over it.
