Very sorry for your loss, OP, but your mother wouldn’t want you avoiding life’s celebrations.  Every day is a gift.[/quote]

When my DH died recently if someone had said every day is a gift I would have wanted to slap them. Seriously. [/quote] It's literally one of hte WORST things you can say to a grieving person.[/quote]

No kidding. Some people are pretty thoughtless - and/or have very few significant losses in their lives - they just don't get it. [/quote]

Totally disagree.  I have had more loss than most people have had in their entire lives -- suddenly, and at a fairly young age -- and it made me appreciate that every day IS a gift.  None of us have the promise of tomorrow. [/quote]

Yeah there is a choice people have when they lose a loved one. They can feel the pain of the loss or they can close off their heart and shut out the pain of the loss. Sounds like op has done the latter. Unfortunately, doing the latter has long term real consequences, like the inability to feel empathy for others, to start. [/quote]
