[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16258044, member: 12867"] Hi OP, sorry for your loss. As other's have said, it never gets easier, it just gets a little more "dull". Day-by-day. Take everything slow. You will have bad days. Along with "better" days. I saw the innocence escape my wife the moment we watched her mother pass away. That innocence will never return. What worked for us is when the sadness starts, focus on the lesson you've learned in her death. What would you give to spend 2 more minutes with your Mother? You, your wife, your kids are all going to experience death. Why wait until they are dead to ask yourself that question? Live every moment loving and cherishing the people around you. Focus on your mother's memory and how it can make you a better husband, parent, sibling, etc. Sometimes death comes to us for a reason beyond the physical. It *should* awaken the living about how short life really is, what things are important, and why we should cherish every minute we have. A few weeks ago there was another thread on SVTP about "is the grind worth it?". Meaning, we are all "A-type" people who work our butts off but at the end of the day, is it worth it?? I find myself asking who will be standing next to me on my death bed? Will it be my co-workers, employees, or customers??? Hell no. It'll be my family. That is what is important. Your time with your family. Literally nothing else matters at the very end. **All of it means nothing without the love of your family.** Don't spend those last few minutes talking about regret but instead the love that you've shared with the world. Find some lesson that your Mother taught or is teaching you through her death. Something little. Be a better human, everyday, because of it. You'll always grieve your mother. Love yourself and love your family. Everything else is an utter waste of energy. [/QUOTE]
