You are not alone.. I have walked in your shoes. I was devastated when my dad died suddenly in 1997 and it also took me awhile to work through it. I was finally able to fill the hole that was in my spirit with loving memories and thankfulness to the Creator for allowing me to have had my dad in my life. Keeping his memory alive by living what he taught me has been the best healer of all.
Finally I came to understand that although he has left me in this physical life, he is always with me in spirit. The love he gave me is a source of joy and memories of the time we spent together in this world are a constant comfort and source of strength for me. I realized that the loss of my dad was a kind of gift to me because I truly then appreciated the time that we spent together in this life. Celebrating those memories with doing good deeds in his name has also helped.
I planted a rose bush for my father and every spring it greets me with beautiful flowers. It celebrates his life and the beauty of the world that the Creator has given to us to enjoy.
The Lord has given you everything you need .. you just haven’t found it yet.. and when you do it will be like finding a marvelous gift. I pray that you find strength and peace. Listen to your heart. The Lord and your Mom are there.

The Lord understands your pain, and He is “Jehovah Shammah,” the God who is there, with you, in it. Praying for you.

Of course you will have some intense reaction, delayed or otherwise, after the death of your mother. Very normal, but sad. Added you to my list. Hang in there and turn your face to the sun, like a little crocus, whenever possible.

I am looking to God to supply me with what I don’t have.
You’ve beautifully put into words what we all need! His grace IS sufficient! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

I am sorry that you are going through such a hard time. May you find comfort in God’s word.

Although I may not have told you, your name is in my journal, and when I rise at 6:30 AM MST, your name always comes up. I pray for you daily, friend.
