I lost my mom in November 2011; though I wasn’t around when she passed on c’os I live outside the country, but I came back for the interment which took place in December the same year. After the burial I went back to my base and ever since then, there has been no day that passed by without me thinking of her, and some times that sentiment and thought of her loss weighs me down. So I want to know from those who lost their loved ones for like 10 or more years back of what their experiences have been? Do they still feel the same way as I do, or is this a feeling one has to live with all through his days here on earth?

I will advice you to go through the link below. It is about the story of a man who lost his wife, the challenges and how he came out strong from it. There are lot of encouraging and soul lifting advices from people in the thread. It will be of great help to you too. Take your time and read through the whole thread.
