Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

That captures perfectly how I feel after losing my Mom. But the grief just seems to grow with each passing year. Like I was walking around in a stupor while she had the Alzheimer's, and now I'm finally waking to the realization that she's gone.

I had to get out of the house tonight. I sat at the restaurant and had to hold back my tears. I know it hasn't been long since Jerry passed and only 7 months since I lost my mom, but the emptiness seems to grow every day.
I look at pictures and cry remembering those great times we had. I cry because we won't be making any more memories. I cry for my children who lost their Dad and for my grandchildren who will never really get to know the wonderful, thoughtful, funny guy their Paw PW was.
I miss him so much!

I can't even entertain a memory now because it just gives rise to pain... In other words I don't seem something or hear something that ignites and memory and smile...it is still to raw to smile about this-
Its assuring to know that I am not the only one that takes 10 steps back..sometimes i feel its harder as time passes rather than easier
...hanks for sharing; iI feel less lost and less alone with all of you sharing

Wish I had words of wisdom and encouragement. If I had posted yesterday I would have been all positive and 'it gets better'.
Today, not so much.
One of you fine folks said its a step forward and 10 back, or something along those lines.
You were right.
All I know is I'm not reliving the horrors of daily caregiving.
I know that sounds harsh, but it was horrific to go through. Don't know how we did it. I don't regret anything and I'm glad we were able to take care of Mom.
I am doing what I need to and hang anyone who wants more out of me.
It is better in November than it was in August.
