Answers:

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss, my father left my mom an I when I was 3, I have no memory of him an only one picture to go by. An after years of searching I still haven't found him. One thing I did to find out about him was ask my parent or other family. One of the best things you might find out is you share something with her, whether it be looks, or personality traits. An once you find that out it will give you something within yourself to remember her by, an you can't forget it. I hope this helps.

Loss of a parent



I think if you could remember her clearly, then you would become obsessed and be thinking about her all the time. Memory fading can be a good thing (in some ways) when dealing with a tragic event. It will give you some room in your mind to move ahead and make your own life.
I totally believe in the power of love and that people don't just vanish, they are still there helping us to get through our lives.
I am a mother, and I know that I would only want my children to be happy and live full and balanced lives if anything happened to me. All of us will die one day, we can only make the best of the here and now, just have faith that everything will be ok in the end.



It's ok. This is normal. The memories will come back , be gentle with yourself and just let it be.
Sometimes after tragedy , this can happen. Our bodies and minds will protect us . When you can handle it, you will remember again,and it will be ok.
It may take a few more years, or a few more days, but just wait it out, and if you need to talk to grief counselors, then do that.

You are forgetting because of your sadness, settle down and think about the good times slowly and try to keep calm, I know what it is like to lose a family member though he wasn't too close to me. Anyways, you can always talk to your dad or someone else close.



your brain is making you forget it, because your not ready to handle the full extent of what happened to your mother, it was just such a lose for you and hurt you badly enough to where your brain doesn't want to remember it, it will come back trust me.
