donswife Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 My Mom passed away this past week she had been sick for over a year so it wasn't unexpected but I remain numb this entire time Made me realize I have been an emotional Zombie taking care of her and just trying to keep it together, I seemed to have become a robot I only cried when they mentioned Don's name at the funeral then I sucked it in because when those tears start then don't stop I am hoping that when I lost the love of my life and it broke my heart that slowly it will come back and I will feel again sorry, just knew this was the place I could just tell the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelerswife Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I think we have some mechanism that tries to protect us. I was a caregiver to my first husband, and in the end, you do what you have to do. Keeping a distance lets you do difficult things. I have a feeling you will process this loss and your ability to feel will return. Hugs, Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Be gentle with yourself in the coming days and weeks, caregiving gives you a purpose and a distraction from the emotional part to an extent, and I know with my Dad it me after I lost that purpose.

BrokenHeart2 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Awe, I'm so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. No loss is easy and as we know, on top of losing our spouse elevates the loss Hugs to you Donswife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangirl Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 My sincere condolences, donswife. I hope you are okay. Totally agree with what Wheelerswife said. Maybe you were gearing up for this as it was expected, so the numbness protected and will protect you for a while. Perhaps at some point feeling will come roaring in again- when it does, I hope you feel joy along with the inevitable sadness. Hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nonesuch Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm so sorry for your loss. Someone said to me, during my Mom's illness, "No matter when you lose your Mom, it feels like you've been cheated." For me that was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
