hey bros i recently lost my mother, this past friday to be exact. it has been hard to even think about anything else. i need some advice on how to cope with the loss. we didnt talk much lately and that is my biggest regret. i just wanted to tell you fellas that if your parents are still alive you should be sure to tell them that you love them cuz you never know when they will be gone. i realized that a little too late.    | ||

Sorry to hear about your loss. Everytime someone loses somebody, they always wish they would have done more. I'm sure you were a great part of her life and you're just beating yourself up for nothing. Best of luck to you for dealing with this.  | ||

Sorry to hear about your loss also brother. I would just keep doing the things you usually do(try to anyhow)i.e work, liftin, dating or whatever. I dont know about you, but it is times like the ones you are going through now that I thank whatever God there may be that I started to lift weights. It really keeps you sane during shitty times. Take care | ||

Bro the best thing you can do is remember all the good times and things you did together and remember that even though she passed on she'll always be with you. I believe that your mother and father are with you way past your day here on earth. Right now she's having the best time bro. She's in heaven and we're all still stuck here in hell. Keep the chin up bro. Later, Green | ||

Brother, Like the many other bro's who have replied and am very sorry for your loss. If you are a religious or spiritual person I suggest seeking guidance through your religion. I am not a very religious man, so I find it more meaningful to reflect personally and with friends and family, when tragedy occurs. The only advice I can offer to help alleviate some pain is reflect on the good things in both your lives not the negatives, they cannot be changed, and focus on continuing your life in a positive direction. Peace and good luck. ------------------ | ||

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother seven years ago and my dad three years ago. We were very close. You cannot punish your self for the things that you think you should have said, etc. I wish I had a magic potion to give you but it doesn't work like that. Time really does heal. If you are a religious person talk to someone there. Take care, and e-mail me if you need to talk! | ||

Sorry about your mother bro. Don't dwell on what you should have done while she was alive, this will simply drive you crazy. Make sure you stay busy. This will help you cope. ------------------ | ||

Bro I'm very sorry about your loss. The only advice I could give you is what many other bro's have said, "Reflect on the good times and as long as you remember your mom she will always be with you!" Be strong and time will heal your wounds. You're in my prayers bro! | ||

Your doing the best thing possible. You're talking about it and you're educating others on the mistake of taking something for granted like time. My father passed away 6 years ago and the last words we exchanged were an anger. The next da he slipped into a coma and never regained consciuosness. I felt like shit to know that even though we fought every moment of our lives I still had respect and love for him and he might of died not knowing that. Just know that your Mom knows you loved her and cared for her. Email me if you needto. ------------------ | ||

sorry for your loss brother! my father passed 7 years ago, so just to let you know it won't be a easy road. just remember you do have friends and they will be there for you. do not dwell on it, there is a reason for everything. you may never know that reason, but there is one. your mother is in a much better place as is my father. no more bullshit here on earth for either one of them. remember this, we'll see them again one day. i'm sure your mother would want you to be happy, and keep on living your life to it's fullest. my fathers death made me who i am now. i took it all as a positive, and have done things i would have never done if he was still alive. keep your head up bro, it will get easier! ------------------ | ||

Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother 6 years ago and i miss her everyday. You will always miss her. You are so right sometimes we do take our parents for granted. For all of those who still have their mothers cherish that relationship, she won't be there forever. Again my sincere condolences. | ||

My sincere apologies friend. My mother is the only family I have left and i try to do everything I can for her because our Mom's did everything they could for us. I bought her house for her on her 50th birthday but its even more than that. She will always be a part of you. She made you waht you are and will always watch over you. the holidays are coming up and if you just need someone to talk to send me an email. We need to stick together. bodybuilders are known as the most unsensitive egotistical people but as you can see we are definately not. Don't hesitate to drop me a line. | ||

Hey bro, I want to express my deepest condolences to you and your family. Be strong, cry and talk to people. Everyone copes and grieves in different ways. You will make it. Again I am very sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. It will take some time for you to come to peace with the situation. Be strong.

Bro, im very sorry to hear about your loss. believe me i can associate with you.. i recently lost my best friend. he was murdered. just try to look at what she meant to you. and appreciate that she was a part of your life.. the fact that you two were never that close at the end is insignificant. there is nothing you can do about that.. dont dwell on this issue. look ahead and know that you will miss her.. and you are happy she was your mother.

Sorry to hear that. My advice is this. I recently lost a friend who I had known for over 15 years. At first I felt completely lost and didn't know what to do. Then I sat down and wrote a long letter to the family saying how sorry I was and how much her passing had affected me. After I had gotten all of those feelings out, I felt so much better. Write your mom a letter telling her how you feel. Trust me, getting your feelings out on paper is a good way to cope. Tell her how much you miss her, what she has taught you over the years, and what things you wish you would have done different (like talk to her more). My girlfriend keeps a journal in which she writes letters to her deceased grandma. She has beeen doing this for 4 years and it really seems to help. May not work for you but it is worth a shot. Works for me and my girl. My heart goes out to you and your family. Peace....Mav | ||

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I feel for you, because my mother died 29 years ago this past Sunday. My father died 11 years later, two years after we got into an argument and stopped speaking. One of my biggest regrets is that I never reconciled with my father. | ||

Thoughts and prayers are with you bro....... Just keep talking to her. Just because she is not with you physically does not mean that she will not hear you. TALK TO HER. Let her know everyday that you miss her and that you guys will be together again in the future...... Sorry for your loss..... "B" | ||
