Can't Accept It

Today marks 8years since my mother lost her life to cancer. As I look around everyone has gone on with their lives but I still can't accept the fact that she is gone. Its really hard to talk about her or even think about her. How do I get pass this? What am I suppose to do?

Please ask your doctor if he or she has the name of a good grief counselor.  That is a professional specialty of certain therapists, and if you find someone who deals with grief, it's amazing how well it helps.  You might be holding on in the emotional belief that if you can't accept it, it won't be true; talking with a counselor just helps on every level (even if you cry all through your first appointment).  It helped me a lot when I went through a trauma last year, I can't recommend it highly enough.  Please act on this, it will help.
