It does get easier, and some years down the line you'll be able to talk about your Mom and remember her with a smile and not tears.  My Dad died in 1983 and sometimes I can hear his voice in my head and it comforts me.  As for Wall-Mart - we don't have one here, but whenever I visit my husbands folks in Murfreesboro, we frequent the "largest Wallmart on earth." - or so it was when it was first built!!  I'd be surprised to bump into anyone there!!  Mal

I agree with Troosha, Shelly...

...that's why my previous comment was light-hearted.
Try as much as you can...to laugh, until you're ready to think about her again.
She doesn't want to see you hurting.

Cut yourself some slack, Shelly.  It takes a long time to talk about someone we’ve loved and lost – our initial reaction being to well up with a tear.  I know, it sounds like a Hallmark card, but in time we’re able to talk about them or the loss we feel.  In fact, we start to talk about all the great things we remember rather than the heartache.

I lost my gran in 1970 and my dad in 2002

I still get choked about both of them.

Emotion for loved ones gone before...

Only serves witness to our love for them.  The tendency to get choked up and teary eyed will lessen as the years pass as love lives on preserving her memory in a special place in your heart.

It's so difficult to lose our loved ones. I have three losses I'll never

get over.

My Dad passed away in 1983, I still get choked up talking about him.

I miss him so much, and always will. And YES, I always see everyone in Wal-Mart, too...lol

I think WalMart is a parallel universe...

...in which a lot of alien mutants rub elbows with replicant earthlings. lmao

its good you can get emotional, all though its been over 2 years since my mom passed away I still haven't really cried for her.  I felt crying was  a sign of weakness, its not its a sign of strength
