Puppy: As one who lost his father this past February I feel your pain. Sorry for your loss but what I witnessed the last week of my fathers's life definetly makes me believe there is something beyond this life. Prayers and peace.
My sincere condolences and sympathies. Unfortunately I know all too well what you are going through because I lost my mother suddenly 5 months ago. The only advice I can offer is to surround yourself with family and friends and talk to them frequently. My wife lost her mother when she was only 12 and told me that the void in my heart will never go away but will get smaller. I know she's right (she always is) but it will take awhile. Take care and God bless.
Thanks so much everyone. As much as I don't want anyone to go through this.....it comforts me to know that others experienced this and their life has gone on. I just wish I could fast forward a year or two so the feeling of having your heart and soul ripped from your chest is not so fresh.

Sorry to hear about your loss. What separates you and your mother, may bring you closer to others. She is in a better place, and someday, you will see her again. She is proud of you.
Freight Puppy, I lost my grandmother on September 25th. She was like a mother to me from as long as I remember being alive. She practically raised me. When she passed away, I felt just like you - my heart and my soul felt ripped out and empty.
Remember, despite being all macho and tough, it's OK to cry. It actually helps quite a bit.
Your mom will always be with you in spirit and be watching over you until you are reunited with her.

You and your family are in my prayers.
LOL....despite being female, I do come across as macho sometimes.
I've cried rivers and rivers the last 2 1/2 weeks.
