We FaceTime pretty often. At least every other day...

Interesting question, I would love to speak to my mother, (we don't live in the same country.)
Every time I called she is busy, if I call her cell she doesn't always answer and if I can the house line, she usually says she is busy so... Basically I just gave up calling her, Bc I used to get so hurt disappointed and upset.
Today I basically only speak to her before rosh Hashanah, or yom kippur. And maybe before yt.
She called me last week on my birthday which was really nice.
Other than that I'll call her to tell her I'm pregnant or had a baby and that's it... How sad

Skype once a week with both parents, and we have a family whatsapp group where we share daily happenings and pictures. We're very long distance.

As often as I can. Sometimes that is once a week and other times it's 3 times a day.

We usually speak every 6-8 weeks. Not a set schedule, but that seems to be around when one or the other of us seems to feel "haven't heard from you in a while."

Me, too. My parents live in another country and we miss each other a lot.

I text and email many times a day. I call probably three times a week, sometimes it's for an hour, and sometimes it's too minutes. Life is just hectic and in my very limited down time I am not always in the mood of chatting. I have a good relationship with my parents and we see them 3 or 4 times a year (6 hour flight away).

No judjement. Just condolences.
And sympathies on the type relationship you had.
Or didn't have.

If it's been a long time, I'd say more than 6 months have passed and you still find yourself crying, then, Doing some work with a grief therapist might be helpful.

For a yiddishe mommy, it's never enough, no matter how often you call. 😍 (I say this with love and jest-I love my mom, she's awesome!)

Wow.. this post is making me so sad.
I live in Israel and my parents live in america so I think that definitely contributes to me not speaking to my mom often. (time difference) but I only speak to my mom once a week or sometimes once in 2 weeks.. If I have a specific question etc I'll call her randomly.. (that is if I can get thru.. she is usually in work when I am awake..)
When I was a newlywed it bothered me terribly that we speak so infrequently but then I got used to it.. Reading this post made me realize most ppl really do speak to their moms all the time..

Me too. For the last two years I kept it mostly to text so it felt less personal and I had more control.
The fallout isn't easy. Of her death I mean. But I have been mourning the mother I needed for 12 years now. And now it's over for good.
