Sometimes after the loss of a loved one we get what I call a right mind and a wrong mind.
When you are in your right mind, you know what you are doing is totally not normal and that it is keeping you from having a normal life. When you are in your wrong mind, you feel helpless and fearful that everyone you love is going to die. I don't know how long it has been since you lost your mother but it sounds like you may need to look into some grief counseling.  You know that it is not normal or you would have not come to this site looking for advice, so I commend you for taking the first step. Please know that you are not the only person that have had problems dealing with grief. I myself had simular issues after my dad passed away. It went on for about a year and I finally realized that I needed help. It was the best thing I ever did. It set me free. I will forever miss and love my dad, but now I know how to cope with the emotions.

Hi!

When grief comes so much closer to us and we realize that life is not going to last forever, we need our loved ones around us - often closer than ever. I am sorry that you have such a tough time. Grief does easily become complicated. Our parents were and will always be important in our lives.
Do you have anyone to talk with about her life and what she meant to you?

Make sure you don't forget to say goodbye to your husband every time he leaves. Having done that, might help a sore heart. (I have always had to do that when I leave or my husband leaves). It isn't because they won't come back, but to have shown love!

Life will come to an end for all of us, but we can't spend a whole life worrying about when.

Take care and check back!
