I try not to think of things often.

I miss my mom who died recently. My brother died a month after her. I'm pretty much it for the family. (dad died when I was a kid)

I just can't get use to this. She was supposed to live forever :p Of course I jest.

Yea, I'm depressed and not having a good Sat. nite. .

Anyway, thanks ATOT for keeping me entertained, at least.

I'm sorry dude, I have a lot of experience with depression, my only recommendation is inject some pleasure into your life, enjoy the little things don't think about the big stuff, think of hobbies you've had a resurrect one or start a new one.

Hell, my mom died 14 years ago and I still miss her almost daily. It's just one of those things...While that probably never goes away...it gets easier with time.

At least you have Lifer status :awe:

But in all seriousness, dang man, my heart goes out to you. Being alone is hard. Make sure you build up a good support group of friends to have someone to fall back on. Are you dating at all, or married?

This. Mom died when I was 19, Dad when I was 15 (25 now). It gets easier but there's always a hole there.

That's really all you can do. It heals with time, but you don't ever really stop missing loved ones. But at least the day-to-day stuff fades to a more manageable place.

I hear ya, and my rational mind tells me to be rational. . .

Part of the problem is I'm in a new town for work. I don't know anyone despite my best efforts. I just do my thing alone a lot.

Most times I'm ok with that, but sometimes there are nites like this.

I've got alot of guilt, she died suddenly, and I was supposed to visit the week before. I was busy with work, and I didn't get my car fixed because I was broke. I could've theoretically postponed the work stuff and charged my car repair and still went, but, nooo I had to get stuff done.

I was going to see her the next month. It had been a few months since I was able to get back home to see here. I should've went - but I was so caught up with stuff I felt like was more important.

I'm rambling, time for bed :p

Sounds like a job for a bottle of Crown Royal and coke, and some old beavis and butt head re-runs.

That should help you feel better for a few hours.



I dont even want to think about losing my brother, mom and dad.

Lost my Dad in January of 2006, and my favorite Aunt in April 2009.

I still miss them. It gets easier, but it never goes away.

I just think about what my Dad would say to me if he saw me moping around and missing him. He would kick me in the ass and tell me to go on and live my life. :biggrin:

Sorry you're having a rough one man. I know how that goes. I will say you have to quit beating yourself up about when you should have gone to see her.
You loved your mom and she loved you. She knew you loved her and cared for her.

Thanks, I appreciate it. We'll get through our seperate pains. Just gonna take some time. It wouldn't be so tough if they didn't mean so much to us.
