I am so sorry. It will be 5 years for my mom in Sept. My dad was 14 years ago. I don't think you ever get over it. This weekend I really missed my mom as I feel I failed in my promise to look out for my sister.
It is almost 9 months since I lost my Mom, and it doesn't seem to get easier.
There are days when I still pick up the phone wanting to call her to tell her of something my son has done.
Yes, it will get easier, but there will also be times that seem even harder than this. My dad passed away just over 5 years ago, and I never thought I would be able to move on. But I have. It does take a while to get over the trauma and shock of losing a parent, or thinking of them being ill or in pain if that's how they spent their last days. I still miss him unbearably sometimes, but now I remember him being well, laughing, enjoying his life. That's when it gets easier.
