Thank you, Susan. Today was the day I've dreaded-my Mom died one year ago today. I am grateful that this day is over.
I just cannot believe my Mom died. I am cut in half with grief and loneliness. Failed on smoking too.

Anniversaries of big losses like that are always hard. I always feel bad for people who lose some one dear on or very near Christmas. It leaves that shadow over the holiday for a very long time. Holidays are times we miss people we've lost more any way, but that's intensified if it's also the anniversary.
A couple pages back in this thread was a very nice suggestion to you about looking for support groups and/or some counseling (peer-to-peer or professional). There are lots of people out there that have been through something like this and know what it's like and know something about how to come to terms with it and start living your life again. I'm sure your mother wouldn't want for you that you spend your life "cut in half with grief and loneliness" instead of going on with things and finding the joy that's still waiting for you out there.
