I know. I've been there. Twice. First, my father, then my mother (my mother's loss hurt me the most -- as expected).

You will recover. For sure. This is life. It's supposed to be like this. The other way around (parents losing a child) is the abnormal, truly tragic case -- ask Phil.

Losing a parent is a deeply sad event, but one which should give us strength to continue, and become better, stronger, more successful in life. That's what she would wanthave wanted, and that's what you should give her. I'm not a smoker. Yet, a friend offered me a cigarette the day my father passed away. I said to him, "What for? Will it bring my father back? Hell, no!" Take good care of yourself. Don't slip into bad habits (alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc.) just to kill the pain. Try not to let your emotions overwhelm you. Not easy, I know, but try. Time is the best healer infor such tragic eventswounds.

Stay strong, you will recover. You will live to remember her.
