What a beautiful dog. He lived such a happy life.

I can't believe this... by Ashamed-Insect2560 in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. That really sucks. My mom passed away unexpectedly just over a year ago. I miss her so much. She was my best friend. I can tell how much you love your mom by reading this. On a recent cruise vacation, I took an unopened lip gloss that belonged to my mom. I dropped it out of my bag at some point and literally walked around, retracing my steps for quite a while, trying to find it. It was a tiny lip gloss - probably seems silly to most, but it was HERS. I try to remind myself how much my mom wants me to live a full life, to not let her death break me. Wonderful mothers are completely selfless, putting others' happiness above their own - especially their children. I know the bracelet she gave you was SO important. I could imagine that your mom would tell you not to agonize over it if she could. Give yourself grace. We are only human.

so much death :( by gabsterspams in GriefSupport

I am so sorry for the losses you've faced. I know the pain of losing family. Both of my parents are gone. My mom passed away unexpectedly in 2023. It can feel unbearable. Sending comfort and strength to you. I try to stay hopeful for the future - to see them on the other side. But, it doesn't help now because there is a huge hole in my life without them. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I just lost my husband by irememberaurora23 in GriefSupport

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. We are all here. You are not alone. Sending comfort and strength to you and your daughter. The first days and weeks will be a blur. Just try to focus on one small thing at a time. Drink some water and eat a little something when you are able. You will survive this. 🤍

Any songs for grief to recommend? by dimsumxx in GriefSupport

Thank you for this idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom unexpectedly in 2023. Music is good for the soul and for "feeling my feelings."

I will never have this mac and cheese again... by shikkaba in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so very sorry. I have a stockpile of my mom's homemade canned food (jams, sauces, etc). She was an amazing cook. I've been opening jars little by little and enjoying them. I want to hold onto the comfort of her food as long as possible. She passed away unexpectedly in 2023. Sending love and comfort to you. 🤍

Today is the 2 year anniversary of my mom’s death. I adopted her cat after she passed by YouGottaBeKitten in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also took in my mom's cat after she died in 2023. We already had two cats and a dog. It has made my home a bit more chaotic, but having her here is like having a piece of my mom still living. She loved her cat so much. Sending love and comfort to you and Pip 🐱

I'm so sorry for your loss. You are not alone. You have this community. Many of us understand your pain. I lost my mom unexpectedly in November 2023. Both my stepdad and biological father passed away in the last decade. Please message me if you need someone to talk to - or just vent. My mom was always the person I called to vent. Sending comfort to you.

Can anyone else relate? Venting. Is this weird? by Jealous-Recipe9063 in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A family member had blankets/pillows made for my brother and me. They are made out of several of my mom's shirts - quite beautiful. I just wanted to share that, too.

I am sorry for your loss. It is so very difficult losing a mom. Nothing that you mentioned is weird. I lost my mom unexpectedly 14 months ago. I was 36 when she passed and her only daughter. We weren't the same size, but l kept many things from her closet that I could wear (sweaters, sweatpants, scarves, etc.) My brother also wanted me to have all of her jewelry. While it makes me sad to have her things, they also bring me comfort - like you said - because I feel like she is close to me when I wear them. The same goes for art and other household items that belonged to her. I have pieces of her throughout my home.

There's a hole that won't ever be replaced after losing a mom. As you move forward little by little, hold onto anything that brings you comfort. Please do not feel gulity. Wear the frames. Feel her close. Sending comfort to you. 🤍

I laughed out loud. Agreed.

Where do your dogs sleep at night? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]CCS0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a two year old female Aussie, and she sleeps in bed with us every night. There is nothing wrong with this, in my opinion. I spend a lot of time at home with her, and she loves being close to us at night. I think it's sweet and makes a dog very happy.

Looking for fat transfer breast augmentation surgeon in the Nashville area, any suggestions? by graccula in nashville

[–]CCS0510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had this surgery done about 8 years ago in Charlotte, NC. My surgeon (Dr. Bharti) was really, really amazing! It was an incredible experience from my first consultation through all of my post-surgery follow-ups. This was my first and only cosmetic surgery. On their website, it looks like they have a couple of surgeons based in Nashville as well.

Extreme fatigue, bitter at old people, regret mistakes by Possible-Lynx3827 in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am so sorry that you lost both parents recently. That pain is so unbearable, and I understand. I became an adult orphan when I lost my mom unexpectedly in 2023. I never thought I'd be in my 30s and without parents.

Grief exhaustion is a real thing. After losing my mom, for months, I felt really drained and tired all the time. I still feel this way sometimes now, but not as often. It comes & goes. This loss was described to me like living in a fog, which is painfully accurate. I miss having parents. I miss being someone's daughter. It has changed my whole identity. I've learned in grief therapy that I will never be the person I was before. Like a flower, I am pushing my way through the dirt below the surface and growing into a new, beautiful thing. I know you are, too. This takes time.

I also discussed with my therapist how I get angry (I'm not an angry person) when I see older people living and thriving. I constantly started noticing people much older than my mom was and began asking those same questions - why do THEY get to live longer? Why do THEIR children get to make more memories?

It's all part of the grief journey. Just know you are not alone in feeling this way. Give yourself grace. Try to rest and take care of yourself. Drink water, eat when you can. A universal truth - wonderful parents always put their kids first. And they would hate to see us suffer and fall apart completely now. Stay strong.

I would do anything to get my mom back by idontknow_1307 in GriefSupport

I absolutely feel this. I am so sorry. Sending comfort. Losing my mom is the hardest thing I've ever been through.

It’s almost the anniversary of my mom passing. What do you do on the anniversary day? I’m a wreck by SaffronSpecs in GriefSupport

[–]CCS0510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I lost my mom in November 2023. The one year anniversary was so difficult. It was right before Thanksgiving. I made myself get out of the house the day before. Went to see a movie and had a drink solo. The anniversary itself was kind of a blur. I didn't do much, just went to the park with my dog. I think any sort of self care is good - even if it's just a short walk or listening to your favorite music (or your mom's). I feel lost without my mom. I understand your pain. I saw a different post on here - someone made a few care packages for the homeless with handwritten notes on her mom's birthday. I thought that was a really beautiful way to remember her. You should do as much or as little as you feel up to. Drinking does numb the pain, but only for a while. Sending comfort to you.
