I Cry A Lot

I cry a lot these days. I’m not depressed. I have no complaints to express. I just miss my mama.

For so long we weren’t close. I went months on top of months without speaking to her though we both longed for something stronger.

And now, if I could get those days back…

Sigh

So I cry a lot…

While I’m getting dressed in he mornings…

When I spend my lunch sitting in the office courtyard…

On the bus…

When I think of my future babies…

It just hits me sometimes and I don’t know what to do with the feelings, so they come out in tears…

So I cry a lot

    I don’t mean to offend in ANY way…but what you’ve described sure sounds a lot like *Depression* to me.

    If the tearfulness persists you might want to consider seeking Grief Counseling.

      And I thought I was describing a child that was grieving the loss of her mother…

      Why must tears signal depression?

        I guess cause you cannot express your depression that it turn out to tears. I sometimes feel that way. I just don’t know what to do that I just burst into crying, though it is good cause it prevents heart diseases. :)

    Nothing wrong with crying Sis. Deep down some of those tears are for all the times she made you smile, all the great memories, all the good times. You will always miss her, but she’s not far away. As long as you still feel for her, she is still in your heart. She’ll be there forever, so don’t worry :-) .

    Alix it is ok to cry. I understand the feeling of your unborn children never seeing or being held by their grandmother. Her physical presence at your wedding. Think of it as a cleansing…your mother is with you in your heart.

    “And I thought I was describing a child that was grieving the loss of her mother…”

    I’m very sorry! Please allow me to try this again….

    I don’t mean to OFFEND in ANY way. But what you’ve described sure SOUNDS like Depression to me. IF the tearfulness PERSIST, you might want to consider seeking GRIEF counseling.”

    I’ve obviously said too much. My sincerest Apology!

    Best Wishes to you…

    I understand exactly how you feel sis. I miss mommy too and I think about those same things. It’s still unreal to me. I feel like no gets how I feel. A part of me is gone, nothing will ever fill that void. It has to come out in tears, that’s the only way it can be dealt with. Love you lots!

      Love you sis!

    If you get to the point where you can’t do any of the things you currently do while crying, then it’s time to be concerned, but otherwise you’re grieving, just like you think you are. Not that you were asking for confirmation :)

    I feel for you so… I really do. All of your posts through your mother’s illness and death were SO hard for me to read so I can only imagine your feelings. I’m glad to hear you’re crying, because at least you’re releasing those feelings instead of holding them in.

      Exactly! As Sad as it is, my life goes on. I go to work each day, I laugh on a regular basis & I enjoy every special moment with my girl. That’s not depression.
