I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. Take care of yourself and be a great mom to your son. That guy will have to live with what he did. Did you ever read "Crime and Punishment"? He will torture himself more than any jail could ever do. Remember what was great about your mom. She had a problem, but that isn't what defines her. Take comfort in the things about your mom that made you love her. Time will lessen your pain and you will remember things about your mom with a smile more often than with tears. Hang in there and be strong. That little guy you have will be a huge blessing for you in this difficult time. (I had a baby a month after losing my dad and it was a God send!!) Enjoy your son and build new wonderful memories with him. When your son is old enough, you can keep your mom's memory alive in fond memories you share with him.

Hello E2Do, I am sorry your mother passed, and I understand the hard time you are dealing with. You need to know though, that you need to be there for your son. It is awful that they didn't charge the guy that ended your mom's life, but your life is still here, and you have a beautiful baby boy that loves and needs you.  Take all the good that you remember about your mom, and continue that good with your son. Every single day with your son is a gift. Accept that gift and by holding your mother's memory in your heart, she will never be gone.

The loss of a parent is very hard.  I have lost both my mom and dad and feel so cheated.  My mom passed away when my son was 1 so he does not remember her but he knows her through the stories and photos I share with him all the time.  Time is the only healer of your loss and I hope you find comphort in memories each day!

Hello. I am so sorry for your loss! Loss of one's parent(s) is unlike any other, it's lonely. Especially, when you are an only child. It took me years to recover from my mother's alcoholic death in 1981. My father passed away almost 2 years ago and I still am learning to accept his alcoholism and his death. I really strongly encourage you to seek help there are a lot of options available. And you have an 18 month old baby to help you heal! Good luck and my very best wishes to you!

Awww, I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Mom. When my Dad passed away in 2004 I felt like there was a hole right through the middle of me. What I know now is that my Dad would wish me to get healthy and happy again and to remember his smile and love, instead of being sad and not taking care of myself. I can't speak for you but I have a feeling that is what your Mom would wish for you, too, and congrats on joining 17 day diet to kick off to good health again! and to be healthy for your baby (congrats on that, too!). We'll all be here to help each other through this, so you are not alone. Tell us how you feel and we will listen and support you and tell you how we feel, too through this journey! All the best to you.
