I've been on this message board for a long time. I don't post consistently, I've been known to go a few years just lurking without posting but I've been a consistent reader/poster for nearly 20 years.

I guess I'm posting this because I've had a few drinks, a little smoke, and I'm having a pretty tough time dealing with the death of my mother last Friday. I'm the baby of the family and will freely admit that I'm a huge Mama's boy. She was everything to me. I thought I was handling it pretty well until I had to drive to the funeral home earlier this evening and it finally hit me like a ton of bricks.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you guys that you're a part of me, even the ones I don't agree with, I love all of you dudes.

Sorry to hear about your mom. My best friend lost his mom a few months ago. My wife lost her dad a couple of years ago. Not much I can say to make you feel better other than to say that it sucks...but you will be OK. Take time to grieve. Let it out. But mainly remember the good times and focus on the stuff she taught you moving forward. She wanted you to succeed in life...being strong in times like this & overcoming life’s obstacles are both a huge part of that.

Hang in there, brother.

My wife lost her mother last week, too, so this is raw to me.

Keep your head up and make sure you have people to talk to about it and don't be scared to ask for help in dealing with grief.

Prayers for you and your family.

I lost mine early morning April 3rd 2012 about 7 hours after UK had won number 8. She was a big UK fan so when I found out, I called my step father and the only question I ask him was "did she watch the game?" He said "You know she did". I knew she died happy. She raised me on UK basketball.

Condolences.

420Grover I understand what you are going through. I was also a huge momma's boy and her death was unexpected. It takes time to get used to it. Grieve at your own pace and remember all the good in your mother.

Awesome how fans on here band together like we do in sports. No one wants anyone to go through pain and suffering and we’ve all been there. GYERO/Paddock was my solace through my best friend and gmas passing and I REALLY appreciated the support. You all are awesome.

Keep your head high Grover, we’ll help get you through this tough time bud. Much love.
