(36,648 posts)2. I feel so bad for you. I lost my mom over 30 years ago, I was 39 I still cry sometimes
For the first year I cried every day. I would get off work and just come home and cry all night.She died of colon cancer and they also found she had undiagnosed pancreatic cancer. My father did 19 years alone as a widower after that. They were so close to each other. This time of year is especially bad, my mom died around Christmas. I have no advice for you. The only thing I learned was you have to keep on living, you dont really have a choice. My mom was an only child and lost both of her parents when she was in her 20s I never knew them. I hope you find some peace of mind.

After several calls from Hospice, I finally called them 6 months after the death of my Mom.
