My beloved mother died 40 years ago ( yes, she was far too young to die, but she had cancer and died )and you never stop hurting, missing your parent, wanting to just hear a word from them, be hugged. Yes, the pain does grow less, but you live with it the rest of your life.
How did I cope? I would talk to a picture of her; I still do, as well as to my favorite pictures of my beloved grandparents. YES, TALK OUT LOUD !
You’re going through the grieving part, so grieve! Cry, rail, pray,and cry some more, but most of don’t hold back; you will feel better once you get this part over with. If you don’t do this now, at some future point in time, you WILL be overcome by your held in grief and that’s worse.
Hug your husband, if you have a kid/kiddos hug them too...or at least talk with them in person or on the phone. Make sure you tell everyone how much you love them. And yes, do calmly explain how much you hurt....just don’t overdo it.
And IF you ever need a shoulder or an ear ( eye, actually ), drop me a note. I lived in Chicago for 17 years, so I’m familiar with things you might want to talk with someone about, even though I hate football and am a N.Y. Yankees fan. :-)
I DO know all about the “green wall at Wrigley, how they play doodly do de doo, and and such.
My second cousin died at the end of last summer, so now I have NOBODY at all left, whom I can talk about my grandmother, my mother, and opera with. At least you still have your sister. I know how you feel right now. Hopefully I and other FREEPERS can help you get through this time.
HUGS......

I am sorry you are alone. Please feel free to email me whenever. The world is so strange now; families move around and are so far away... You like opera? :) That is really neat! :)
I’ll talk to you soon! :)
