[quote=Anonymous]OP and others: thank you for sharing your grief and connecting with others who can feel empathy for you. 
I was my mother’s care partner (new name for caregiver) until she died of cancer. It was a very sad cancer battle lost, I was a brand new mother, and I was overwhelmed with grief. I used to clear out the seat next to me on a couch or the bed, imagining that her spirit would need it cleared away so she could sit next to me!
I needed her. And I have found ways to stay connected to her through tangible items, writing stories, noticing things that she would like (like buying a purple flowering plant, to keep something of her liking around). 
I hope you can find comforting connections, despite the grief of the absence. 
I have buried many other loved ones, including my grandparents and a niece; and for each one: it is important to me to do more than keep their memory alive. I want a thing on this earth that will be connected to them. 
I don’t mean to sound preachy. I’m just sharing my no-longer fresh grief story. 
Hugs to all of the posters here. This is hard, and not everyone understands. [/quote]
