It does get easier. You will miss her for the rest of your life, but it won't always be as painful. As for how long it takes, everyone is different. Your Mom's passing is still very new, you need to give yourself grace and time.

Hi Kieren I lost my Mum over 40 years ago and every now and then something will remind me of her and I have to wipe away a tear. She was Welsh and every time I hear the Welsh National Anthem I always have tears.in my eyes. Your pain will ease over time.

I'm still grieving my mother's passing 10 years ago in October. It gets better but I don't think it ever goes away. Grief is hard. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.

When you remember things you did with your Mom...smile and remember the fun and love you share..she's with you probably on your shoulder cheering you on...

What a great way to honor your mom & your relationship with her, by getting out and doing something you used to do together and allowing yourself to feel the emotions. Very healthy & healing

I lost my mom when I was 18 and fresh out of high school. It was really hard for the first year. But it does get easier. You never stop missing them. Hold on to your memories of her, and she will always be with you. We are here if you need us.

I lost my Mom in 2016, my baby sister in 2014 and my husband in 2011. It does get easier. My Mom, my sisters and I would have girls days. The first time my twin and I went without them it was very hard but we just kept thinking that they would want us to keep up the tradition so we continue to do it every couple of weeks. There will be days that are harder than others but there will come a time where you will be able to go to the garage sales and be able to get through it without getting emotional. As far as how long it takes, you will never get over losing her but you will be able to move forward. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. ❤❤❤

Don’t feel bad 😢you are always going to miss your mom. You’ve gone through so much in such little time. Give yourself grace and know we all here for you.

Grief is so hard and lengthy and unfortunately there’s no way around it. But you will get through it. What helps me grieve my mom, dad, sister, and brothers is that they are worth every tear shed and every day of heart ache. Time has made it less intense but you always feel the loss and learn to make room for it. I’m sorry for your loss and pain.❤

I lost my daddy last June 13th and that date is coming up and I'm getting more anxious by the day. I'd give anything to be able to pick up the phone and call him to hear the smile in his voice when he sang helloooo sissyroo. I honestly feel your pain and I'm so sorry for your pain, because it's a pain like no other. There's zero words to make it any better. Sending you big hugs from WV. ❤️

Oh hun I cried with you I lost my mom this past October she was my everything I can’t even talk about my mom without crying I beg god to let me have my mom come to me in a dream because I know she will never be back but I MISS HER 😢I know what you are going through hun I will say a prayer also I do believe that was your mom in the wind with you I look for signs all the time and I feel my momma with me . 🙏🏻❤️

IT DOES SUCK! BIG TIME SUCK! I just want to hug and hold you right now and cry with you. My Mom died March 23 of this year, I held her hand for the entire time, until the funeral home came and got her. It's so not easy, I miss her like you do your Mom. My Mom was my garage sale partner, fishing partner, playing game partner, just all around my very best friend. I so feel your pain as I'm going thru the same exact thing right now. If you EVER need to talk, please reach out to me; maybe we could help each other during this horrible time.

Grief is so hard and has no time limit. You have been thru a lot. One day at a time❤ just remember to take care of yourself too🥰

I lost my mom a week before I turned 18 over 45 years ago and there are days I still cry missing her.

I can't say it ever gets better but it does get easier. My mom is gone for 15 years and husband for 10 I think about them everyday the good and bad. You are not alone you have your family and they love you so much and so do we❤.

Hi I lost my father in 2016 it will get easier it's a day by day I get reminded of my dad when were out eating or doing something he enjoyed. You Wil always have your mom with you in your heart ❤️ and you will learn how to better help you each day. I have you in my prayers 🙏🏽.

Thanks for taking us along with you. I miss going to garage sales but I just have too much stuff that I need to get rid of in my home. Trust the grief process. You will go through different stages. I miss my husband every day after 14 years

I am proud of you for getting out there and doing things that aren't easy. The more you do them, the easier they will get...little by little. You are learning to live this new normal. Although there are supposedly stages of grief, I found that they are not necessarily fluid. I would see myself going through them, only to find myself going (what felt like) backward at times. Like most everyone is saying, you will always miss your mom. The loss has changed you in a fundamental way.

I lost my mom 9 years ago and I still have those moments. Because of my anxiety, there are still things I can't do and places I can't go because it reminds me of her too much. I used to help her do people's taxes and I still get anxiety when I do taxes. I think you are really brave for even trying to go out garage saling right now. Give yourself grace and if you have to skip out on something, do it

You did so good! I was so proud of and for you! Your coping skills have gotten so good.

I'm so sad that you're heart is broken & that the feelings are still so raw!!! You'll never stop missing her, but the feelings will transform...how long that takes is very individual/personal!!! Please remember to show yourself compassion & embrace all your loving memories!!! Gentle hugs, sweetie!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I am so sorry that are dealing with these emotions. I have been through the exact feelings you are having for your mother. I promise it does get easier and becomes the new norm. Mine will always be my best friend and luckily we are going to one day see them again. I have good and bad days and miss my mom so much! I went through stages of grief..sad, angry, lonely, and it's ok to have a good cry and usually feels better afterwards. Just know she is always with you and will be waiting for you in the future. Thanks for sharing!❤

I lost my Mom in 2018 and it was very hard for me. It probably took me two years before I could talk about her without starting to cry. It was the same when my Father died in 1985. I could not talk about him for the longest time…probably 2 years. It gets easier with time. The sadness will be replaced by the nice memories. You may be some where or see something that reminds you of your Mom and it will make you smile. It takes time…one day at a time.❤❤

Time is the only healer. It just takes time. It took me about a year to stop tearing up when I thought of her.

Oh hun I'm sorry, it will get easier. There will always be those moments that take your breath away. I have always just talked to her through the pain. Cling to those happy memories. 😘

There is no time limit for grieving it's different for everyone but it does get easier. You will always miss her but it won't always be this painful.

I lost my mom 3 years and 2 months ago and it's still hard 😞💜

It will be 5 years this Nov. that I lost my mom. The loss does get easier but I still have moments when I miss her and wish I could give her a call. Thankfully these happen less and less often, but I think it may be there until the end of my time. I’m thankful for it though because it means she was a good mother and she was mine.

Im so sorry. I went to garage sales with my mom too. When she passed I quit going. Take it one step one hour at a time. Eventually it will get easier. Prayers for you!

It will get better, she would not want you to grieve over her, just think of the fun things and times y'all spent together, be positive, be blessed !!!

I lost my mum nearly 10 years ago. I always miss her but get visits in my dreams..

So sorry for your loss. My mom has been gone almost 11 years and sometimes it still hurts so hard… Love to you❤️

K...I'm so sorry for what you are feeling right now, but as most everyone here has said...it takes time & missing your loved one never completely goes away. However, even though you may shed some tears...and feel super sad sometimes...it's normal. Obviously you two were very close & spent lots of time together...which is beautiful. And eventually you will be able to remember her without tears & super overwhelming sadness. You will eventually remember her with overwhelming love & gratitude & maybe even be able to laugh or smile about the good times more often. I experienced what I thought was really strange for at least the first year after my Mom passed...I was constantly picking up the phone to call her!!! OMG, I would get so mad at myself.... bec all of me knew she was gone..... how could I keep starting to call her!!! And eventually I stopped doing that. Everyone grieves differently & there's no time limit. Be patient with yourself & know you are not alone! We all understand & are sharing your pain, as we know how heavy it can be all alone. Stay plugged in to loved ones, friends, family...continue talking about it all when you feel the need. We love you & are praying for you. ❤🙏🌷🌻🪻

I am so sorry that you are feeling so sad and miss your Mom. There is no time limit for grieving, but I will say I have gone thru what you are going thru like many others here, and it will get easier to deal with. We don't forget the loss of a loved one, but we do learn how to deal with it as time goes on. My Mom passed so unexpectedly also in October 2013 and there are moments where I break down and cry. I am 64 years old and still need and miss my Mom. However, I must go on because there are days when I can look up at the sky and smile. I am smiling with my Mom. Your Mom will always be in your heart like mine is in my heart. We will never forget them. Take day by day, but don't lose yourself and neglect others around you. They understand your pain, too. Just remember they love you too, and they are there with you. GOD BLESS YOU and THANKS FOR SHARING THE GARAGE SALES. I LOVE THEM SALES!!

I lost my mom a year ago and I have days where I'm ok and then there are days I stay home and hey all day I miss her so much ...time just helps you deal with it easier I don't think so

My mom has been gone for 3 years now. I will always miss her but it has gotten a bit easier. It will get easier for you too. In the meantime, just grieve.

I'm so sorry. I know your hurting. I lost my 26vyear old son. My 1st born and right after my dad and mom died 4 mo the after dad. I was ready for a nervous breakdown. Prayer helps.

Grief is so personal & as I’m sure most commenting here would agree, there are different types. I think it’s vital to not allow anyone to dictate your own grief: for how long one grieves for, why, how & so on, so genuine, respectful support is something I hope you have. I cannot of course say how long it will take anyone’s grief to transition to decreased emotional pain, but as others have shared, it really does get easier. Being kind to ourselves & not taking on someone else’s expectation of how our our grief journey needs to happen will truly help. I will say what is probably obvious to many: watch for signs of leaning towards unsafe ways to cope (alcohol, etc). If that is something anyone reading this is feeling pulled to, please seek help instead. Compounding one’s grief with potential unhealthy choices & regret will make it harder.

You have your good days and your bad days but it is around year two before you won’t feel that much pain. Just remember it take time. Let your self feel.

Sweetie it does get easier but there will always be triggers but you learn where to hide all of that within yourself so it doesn't hurt every single minute of every single day. For a little while stop going to her house sitting in the driveway. Don't do the things that make you hurt so badly.

My heart just breaks for you.
