I thought i was fine, when she died i was upset but calm and yet now, back in the States i feel as if everything is falling apart. I have just moved here so don't know that many people so my only line of support is my husband, but i seem to also take it out on him i.e. get angry, if i go out and have a few drinks end up in a shouting match with him and i just don't like this entire situation. I feel so out of control and i want the world to know the amazing person i have lost, it almost seems unfair that life continues when you are trying to accept that that person is no longer on the other side of the phone. i am trying to be so strong through this and actually don't know what to do. Any ideas on support groups anyone? Emma Zimbo Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT I wish I could point you in the right direction. My mom is now battling cancer and well its touch and go right now. I hope that she is going to be okay and has the will power to stay here for many more years. If you need to chat i'm here tho. Melinda Thu, 02 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT My mom is stage 4 liver cancer. Everyday I wake up to see her light on in her bed room I thank God for one more day. My mom is my best friend and the only one I could call and tell everything to. She lives with me now so I try and not think about her passing away. I don't know how I will handle it when she goes. I to think I can't go on without her, I had to put my gun in my safe and have the key put away. I also have cancer and I'm doing my last chemo 2-17-06 for overian cancer. I had B/C in 2000. I'm on xanax to help with the stress and crying. Without them right I would be a reck. It's so hard to talk to people when my mom is 81, but age to me means nothing when you loose a mom, your best friend. They say she lived a long life. I don't want to hear this even if I know it's true. If you want to talk e-mail me. I'm so sorry. HUG,HUG, Hope Hope? Wed, 15 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT My mom justed passed away and I too am having difficult time dealing with this. I miss her so much!She died July 14, 2006 and I really don't know how to handle the emotions, she was only 44. I would love to have someone to talk to too. My husband is my support but somehow and sometimes that does not seem to be enough. Any suggestions? Shnita Sun, 16 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT
