I was talking to my stepfather and he was mentioning that is seems like my moms on vacation rather than, being dead. It's like i know, it's hard to believe she passed in Feb after a month of her diagnosis. It's still hard to process the though she is dead and NOT coming home.

My sister is coming down here in 2 weeks to help sort out our moms stuff and it will hit her like a TON of bricks! She has been busy shopping/working and keeping her mind busy. She says it just seems like mom is still in florida.

Mom isn't here in florida anymore or on vacation she died

Anyone else go through this?

I feel the same way. It's soooo unreal. My father passed away last week after only two weeks of his official diagnosis on 4/17/08. It's still so new to me, I'm still trying to take care of some details (calling his bank, cell phone, etc.). It makes me sick to my stomach. I have to go back to Ohio (I live out of state) and sort through his stuff...which I completely dread. I wake up in the morning and have to literally say to myself, "he's gone forever." I don't know how to be on this planet without him..I don't know this planet without him in it. I know I have to concentrate on the absolute pain he endured, but it still doesn't bring him back. I think for both of our cases, it was so quick, so it seems so unreal. I think what makes it hard and so unreal is that only a couple of months ago, life was so "normal." Sorry for this rambling, but I completely know what you're feeling.

"don't know how to be on this planet without him" I agree! I tell my mom i don't know how i can live without you not being here. I don't have a dad so, it makes it hard that my my was my only parent.

The mornings used to be hard for me too knowing, that i will never see my mom again in the morning and have our coffee together on the lanai. Waking up means another day without my mom. I feel so empty and lost
