Lost my mom and world feels so empty now.

Lost my mom and world feels so empty now.

---

I lost my mom 2 weeks ago, and despite so many people showing concern and love, I can't help but feel that the world is a much empty place now. The woman who loved me more than anyone in this world, is gone, and I can't imagine ever being happy again, knowing that we'll never laugh together again, and that I'll never experience her soothing words and calming presence.

People tell me it will get better, and at the same time they'll say that I'll never be ok with my mom being gone. That years from now it will still be painful. That makes it hurt even more.

People also tell me that the grief will get worse in the coming weeks and months. I can't quite fathom that.

How can I help myself heal? It feels tragic, even though she lived a full life. I just feel like I need a mother's love, but my mother is no longer here to help me when I need her most
