I appreciate the kind words. I think instead of sitting around and sulking on it, being miserable, I'm going to keep my mind and body limber instead of just being sad and depressed. I've mourned frequently these past days and will mourn for her at the funeral, but other than that I think continuing doing the things that bring me pleasure, whether it be Mortal Kombat, working, porn, posting on TYM, etc. will be the easiest thing to get me through this.
First off, Loot, my sincerest condolences on your loss.
My mom passed away last September. She was one of my best friends. Hopefully what she told and taught me will help comfort you.
When a person passes, its natural to mourn, and it's ok to do so. Though the life is gone, a life is something to be celebrated. I believe that it is a much more touching tribute to remember someone and celebrate the life they lived for a longer period than it is to spend too much time mourning. Don't dwell on it too much, because no matter what, tomorrow always comes. Everyday, the sun will rise, and with it, you need to do the things you love to do, laugh at the things that are funny, and surround yourself with the people you love. Make sure to stop every once in a while and remember what you lost, and never let the good memories go. Cry if you need to cry, I know that even now I still cry once in a while about my mom. It's the memory of her strength that gets me though it though, that she doesn't want that for me and wants me to move forward.
Take your time and re-focus bro. Figure out what positives you can do with the energy you're spending being upset and mourning. That is the greatest tribute you can give a person, to live your life the way they saw you and wanted you to.
I hope these words were as comforting to you as they were to me when my mom passed. I'm always here, I always have an open ear, heart and mind. If you ever need to talk, just pm me and we can talk.
-Phil
