Its Been 6 Months

[nailit]

Since my mum passed.
(21 yrs for my dad.)

And yet I still find myself reaching for the phone to tell her something and
realising that I cant.

Not the same for my dad. Never had the same experience though I loved him just as
much,

Just trying to understand....

totally natural - don't despair - look back on the fond memories and find comfort there....

Nails, my mum has been dead for twenty eight years and, in my head, I still talk to her every day.

I like it when I dream about her. :-)

Happens to me, after 15 years still want to talk to my mum. She would have loved my four grandchildren!!

If you had a good relationship with your Mum (as I did) the feeling of a great loss never goes away. It was five years for my Mum last Saturday and I talked to her in my head, as I always do. What I wouldn't give to pick up the phone to ring her and hear her lovely, cheerful voice saying 'hello, love'. Saying I miss her doesn't really touch just how hard it is and the same with Dad who passed the year before, but with being a 'girl' I was always a bit closer to Mum. I believe in an afterlife though nailit and I know they are together now and I know I will see them again one day and I guess that keeps me going. Not trying to preach to you by the way x

Still very new, she hasn't been gone long, and you had so much emotion tied into the time around her passing. Old habits take a while to fade. Funny I haven't once gone to tell Dave something or forgotten he was gone, neither have I felt he was still around. I put it down to my personal certainty that death is the end, that he is gone forever.
