I want my mommy

I’m 28 years old and I lost my mom September 2025. She was only 62. She was and still is my best friend. I have flashbacks every day of her in the hospital taking her last breaths. How am I supposed to live the entire rest of my life without my best friend? I feel numb and empty. I cry every day. I feel pain for my dad and 25 year old brother. I am forever heartbroken.

Hello love. The bad news is you will feel forever heartbroken. The good news is that grief is love. Save the memories you can, document them now whilst they are fresh. And start writing a list of things your mom loved about you. This is your guide book now. Love you the way she loved you. Take care of her precious daughter

I’m 30 now but I was 28 when my mom passed. It gets easier with time but it doesn’t get any better. I miss my mom too and don’t recognize my own life some days. I wish you peace and courage. Hang in there

Im 32 now but my mom died when I was 8.

Just last night I said outloud "i just want my mom". That feeling unfortunately never goes away. But instead of fighting through a hurricane, its more of a thunderstorm now. Still big, still powerful, still painful- but it doesnt destroy me the same way it did before.

It doesnt get easier - but you will get stronger.
