Some people are missed a great deal more when they die than others are. The ones who are mourned the most are the ones who contributed the most to others. Your mom was one of those people. We can know a great deal about the reality of death but when such a loss occurs, we are left without the support and comfort we depended on as children and enjoyed after becoming adults. The loss is astounding and it is devastating. Our emotions don't know what our minds do about the natural order of things and the only way out of the devastating feelings we experience is to go through them. Time heals. It offers distance and new routines and the opportunity to appreciate without such terrible heartbreak. There is no other way to get through it that I know of except to put one foot in front of the other until you are past it. You can never be grateful for your loss but you can be grateful that you were loved. Not everyone is. Blessings, Luise Dear D. Some people are missed a great deal more when they die than others are.

I have lost very recently, my mom. I have two sisters that were very much attached to her. They called her at least once a day to discuss life and routine life things and ask her advice. Everyone was very happy and peaceful, but all of a sudden, when stage 4 cancer of lung took her life, it brought about very, very deep sadness. I know we have to accept the positive in life but what do we do to overcome loss? Please help me. D.
