My mom was my best friend- I can hardly function.

I love you mom,
your angel,

Alcoholism is a disease that kills- my life will never be normal again

I am sorry for your loss and for your pain. Your life will never be the normal it was before, you will always have a part of you that is missing. But you can have a life, a life of your own filled with joy.

I am so sorry for your pain.
Please take advantage of the wisdom here at SR and at f2f meetings. Learn to fill your life with joy again.
And remember, your mom will always be with you. I know, because I lost my dad, very unexpectedly, just three years ago. I understand how you feel. Be well.
Shalom!

Thanks Paulie-I'm new to this forum have been posting on the grief/loss page. Been dealing with my mom's disease since I was 16 or so. I'm 33 now. She recovered for seven yrs. and so I 'm not new to ACoA. Went to Al-anon for awhile but wanted to get help for her and not me. Then, I didn't know what it was all about but now see it's important to help myself too. I miss her beyond words- today has been hard.
Just got back from a vacation in California and it seems I'm right back in my grief. The time zone change has zapped my energy and I forgot to take my meds. So depression is at it's full today. I think I'm so lost that I just needed to post here as well - to express my loss and pain. Life is so unfair - I was blessed by having such a wonderful devoted mother. We both (my mother and I) didn't know it had reached this stage and I didn't get to say goodbye. Instead I had to call 911 and was told by her neighbor that she had passed. She was my world -

I'm so sorry for your pain, love...

I've known too many wonderful people who've died from this horrible disease. Maybe now they've finally found release from the terrible pain that drove them so deeply into the darkness...

May there always be help available for the alcoholic/addict/loved one who suffers.

lovetoall - it's hard to lose a mother - my mother was an alcoholic and had 10 yrs. of sobriety when she passed. i got a call at work - she lived in another state - so i know how you feel about never getting to say goodbye. prayers to all who have lost a parent - it's a tough thing!

(((((cwohio))))) thinking of you - thanks for sharing about your mom. I see I'm not alone in this- thanks to everyone! I'm sure that the pain eases up a bit but there will always be a void. Mothers are so special - I miss that unconditional love that was a phone call away. At 32 one doesn't even think of death - I never did. Grief is the hardest work you'll ever do. I pray everyone is well and send hugs ((()))
