It's been over a year and a half since my mother died unexpectedly. I still miss her even though I hadn't lived close to her for many years, or talked to her regularly. Just knowing my parents were there made a big difference and now there is this gap.
Usually I do ok, but there are still times, like now, when I get teary-eyed. I think some of this has to do with not really having anyone to talk to about her. My husband is rarely around, and even though he probably loved my mother as much or more than his own, he isn't one to grieve publically.
My advice to anyone who loses a loved one, find someone to talk to and do it early on. If you postpone the grieving process, it pops out at you in unexpected moments even years later.
