(8,039 posts)41. I am so sorry for your loss
I know it leaves a huge hole in your heart. I am going to share with you a piece of advice I was given that will sound weird but honestly does help. Embrace your pain, let it run wild through you. Let it hurt, cry, scream (into a pillow if you don't want to be heard) whatever you need to do because once you embrace it you start to heal and eventully you find you can smile through tears at your memories. Lean on your friends, take care of yourself and hang in there.

Your photos of your Mom always make me feel as if she is someone I need to meet.

I love the shots in her leopard outfit, especially the one where she's charging!
