I was very close to my mother who died on April 7, 2003. She was only 63 years old and her death was quite unexpected. This Saturday, Jan.29th, would have been her 65th birthday and I've been having such a hard time emotionally these last few days. I really didn't think I would feel such sadness this year since it will be the 2nd b-day without my mom, but the depression feels worse this time around. I feel more irritable, want to be by myself and have been crying more. Sometimes the feeling of sadness and loss is so overwhelming that all I want to do is shut the world out and stay in bed under the covers. I'm a 37 year old woman who sometimes wonders, is it normal to still feel this way after almost 2 years without my mom?
