Do you have kids?

Sorry OP. My mom died almost two years ago, and it makes me very sad that I DON'T miss her. I really hope she doesn't know that - it would break her heart.

I'm sorry for your pain OP. I am somewhat envious because do not currently have or never have had a great relationship with my mother.
My own DD and I have a special bond. It hurts me knowing that she will likely feel this way one day. I don't want her to feel pain when I am no longer around.

The last thing she would want for you -- is for you to be suffering. Honor her by getting yourself together. Trust her. Trust that she knew how much you loved her

I know from dealing with my dad's death 20 years ago that it will get easier with time, but it's just very raw right now. Thanks to everyone who has offered words of kindness and comfort on this thread.
Hugs to you. I'm glad you bumped this thread. Be kind to yourself and give yourself plenty of time to grieve.

Unhelpful and invalidating respond.
My mom said this to me the day my father died suddenly. He had lost his mother at age 9.
I was not sure if it was true, but I actually found it to be a beautiful and comforting thought on that day.
So, consider humility. Your world view is not the only one out there.

My mom passed six months ago. I watch little phone videos and live photos I took of her over the years. I never want to forget what her voice sounds like or the way she smiled at me. It brings me comfort. Sending you a hug, OP.

I told him that I know everything that's left unsaid. There are no bad "last words" because they are just words. Words don't change our time together or replace all the things we have done.
Wise words.

Look for signs that she is with you. I never thought that would be my thing, but it is. My dad passed away a few years ago and in my mind he sends me so many signs he is with me. I feel like he is still a part of my life just in a different way and he makes me laugh with some of the signs he chooses.
Read about it. The idea first came to me when my dad was a live and I read excerpts from the book Rare Bird by a mother in this area who lost her son tragically. He sent her signs often.

Me too. Mom has late late late stage alzheimers.
I think we are talking weeks or months left.
I miss her energy and positivity.
