Malc, you sound absolutely normal to me. I guess it's all part of the grieving process. After all, your Mum WAS sitting in her bungalow a little while ago, now she's passed on. It's such a strange situation isn't it. I'm dreading losing my lovely parents.

Malc nothing wrong with you at all there is no magic pill to zap it away. 14 years on I still occasionally got to ring a loved one with news ....

The pain gets easier but there will always be a time when you forget they are gone. I think its quite normal and shows your love.

It also makes me laugh cos I think the person I miss has watched me going to call and is thinking daft bat! In a nice way - eventually the memories wont hurt so much but will make you smile and feel closer to them.

It is completely normal...well I hope so...because somedays I feel just the same...Mum died last April. In some odd way I have come to like those days...cos I do not miss her so much.

Take care (((Hug)))

Absolutely normal Malc, as everyone says.

I've still got my Mum and Dad's telephone number in my mobile and they've been gone 5 years. Just can't make myself delete it

Malc do belive me losing the last parent is a whole lot harder than the 1st ,,,its your last link , I often used to just go along with the thinking that my Mam was still just up the road in her bungalow, its now 11 yrs and still hurts but I now feel I am ready to go visit friends who got her bungalow, who have been there 3 yrs and I told them I couldnt go to see them ;;
Lost unc only 4 months ago who lived with us and I still go to shout upstairs when his favorite programs come on telly;;
Big (((hugs))) to you dear , give yourself time to grieve properly honest you cannot rush it ;;;

Went through exactly the same thing with both dad and mum. I asked the doctor about it and she explained that it was all part of the grieving process. Along with guilt and anger ...

I love it when I dream about mum - even though I wake up in tears - reassures me that she's still around.

Don't worry Malc - you're not going mad.

Malc .....I can't count how many times I've thought
"wait till Nan hears about this"............

The pain eventualy goes, but the memories last forever.

Bless you,

Thinking of you Malc, it is early days yet, your Mum has just moved house a bit further away, that's all. I still think I should call my Mum and tell her I saw so and so in the street, or I read this or that, and she has been gone since 1995. She probably knows the same time as me now when I see something that would interest her lol
