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?

I lost both parents within a 4-month time span. It was difficult to deal with at the time but you get used to it. At odd times I find myself thinking things like, "Mom would have loved to see this..." or "Dad wasn't such an asshole after all..." but you learn to move on.

I came to realize my Father was a hard ass when it was necessary, but I looked to him for advice and to my Mother for love. Does that make sense? I'm a girl.

My father was hard on all of us but as we got older my brothers and I understood why. We are all self-reliant and know how to so all of the basic trades required to maintain a house. My mom taught us all to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. also to make us self-reliant.
