Hi. Today I have attended the funeral of my mother. She was a proud conservative, like the rest of her family. I am very self confident thanks to her, because I am sure about my mother being a great person. I'm still shocked by her sudden death. My grandmother managed to live until 90 years old without getting sick, so I was expecting my mother to live as long as her. A month ago the doctor said she was dying and there is nothing medicine can do anymore. I have spent the last month making her comfortable as much as I was able to do. The day she died, it become the first day of the rest of my life. Now I feel like a ghost. I just do things I am supposed to do. I don't think I will be able to laugh anymore as I used to do. If you have lost your parents too, could you please tell me if it's possible to recover sooner or later from the psychological trauma?
