How do you move on from missing someone so much?

Smile and be proud of him. The holiday breaks will be here before you know it and I'm sure he'll be able to visit. In the meantime, enjoys his phone calls, emails and im's.

You poor thing. All mother's who send their babies off to college go through this. Everything will be just fine. Is he coming back for Thanksgiving and Christmas? You should get a calendar and mark each day off. Then you can count down the days until you see him again.

i know how you feel, missing someone and you can't even do anything about it..:( i just want to share to you to be careful what you do... just think that its gonna be over soon and just make yourself be occupied...

All we can do is keep on keeping on and accept that each and every day things will become just that little bit easier. It also helps to focus on the positive fact that he is off to college and will come back from this experience a far better person than when he left! It is a tremendous opportunity for him and maybe by slowly starting to replace your feelings of sadness with immense feelings of pride the days will become weeks and before you know it everything will seem so much better!

Aw hon, I know how it feels. He'll always be your baby and you'll always be his mama so it's natural to miss him. My son is 24 and I still haven't let him go! You'll start counting down the days til Thanksgiving break!

i guess what your feeling right now is very normal as your boy never got so far from you before...i guess you can do some activities to divert your attention so you wouldn't miss your bot so much..if you have a garden maybe you can try to do some gardening..house hold chores may do also..anything that will keep you busy for a while... hugs to you,,

well this generally happens to many of us,you realized the value of your son exactly!! don't you worry mush spend some time with your friends or neighbors..! you won't fell much lonely , as the person id on the job,and i think that's what every one wants..! even you can call him often if you miss him so much.!! mail him or what so ever can convey you message to him,this way you'll be in touch!

that is very panful and tough situation. missing someone is hard but there is no hard than missing a son...

How sweet, but then again a mother feeling like that is normal :) actually I dont know how to move on from missing a person that we care, I too was once feeling miss for someone.. so I know a bit for how that would feel.. and in my case time is the one who heal me.. sorry I cant give you some advice, I'm just touched by your story.. :)

hi there! well, i know its not easy not to miss someone who has been with you since birth.,but since you said that it is because he needs to be near in school then i guess you should think that it is for his future.,at first i know it is really hard but you can't do anything about it.,just accept it.,and keep on praying for his safety and guidance.,have a wonderful day to you!

You are not a crazy mom just take it one day at a time I know it hurts my daughter was 4 when she went to nc to vist her uncle an aunt an a hurricane hit an noone heard for days if they were ok they didnt think to call an I could feel my heart tearing in half I was going to turn every house an hotel upside down till I found my baby girl they finnaly called an were in a hotel an safe an said the police are discourgeing people comming cause of the damage sister they couldnt keep me from there if the pope himself said no I lefted right away we drove the 10 hours to get there an thenI just held my baby she is 15 now in rotc talking about when she gets out of school she is leaving for college an I am like why you want to leave me

Do you have his email address...? Perhaps everyday or once every two days, you could email him or video conference him or something..? But maybe he wouldn't like that idea. Or maybe on some days, you could check him out in college. I know how that might feel, and missing someone is really hard, be it in relationships or family wise. Do take care of your health, 34momma.

Hi friend,All the mothers miss their children a lot when they send them for higher studies.Its very difficult indeed to send them suddenly as they were with us from birth.Its natural.But you should first think of his future,he has to come out with flying colours,so encourage him .Speak to him often ,for his vacation you go spend some time with him or let him come and stay for a few days .Slowly it will become normal and you get used to that.Thanks for sharing.Happy mylotting.Cheer up.

I can understand your feeling,but to be frank,this is a great experience,i think time can change everything and it can comfor you.Your son has grown up,independence is a must,you can express your love through many ways,such as telephone and e-mail.your son can feel your love.Believe him good.In your spare time,you can do the things you are interested in.You may feel better.As a whole,happiness is important
