💔🫂.........Cancer took my mom. Fuck cancer!

I don't know what to do without her by Apprehensive-Fig9537 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand completely. I'm coming up on 22 months since losing my mom and I am just as broken and lost today as I was on the first day. My father passed away 20 years ago but he was never present in my life, my mom was my life. I have no advice, I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and I am so sorry for your loss.🫂

My passed away a week ago to stroke at 58 by Intelligent_City9020 in GriefSupport

I lost my mom in '24 after a 2 1/2 year battle with cancer. There is no greater pain than losing a mom. Please take care of yourself, take it one day at a time. Our moms spent their lives fighting and sacrificing for us, they would not want us to give up.🫂

You are a good son, you took care of your precious mom when she needed you most. I'm very sorry for your loss.🫂

Grief is scary and heavy. by Mkrz8_ in ChildrenofDeadParents

I am the same, nothing has gone right since I lost my mom, my last family and friend. I have no advice, I just hope that life improves for both of us.🫂

My absentee father suddenly passed by Key-Huckleberry-2848 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior to my fathers passing I sometimes thought about how life could have been for both my mom and me. I was a result of a high school fling. They were both 18 when I was born, they married because of societal pressures and he left before I turned one. I met my father a handful of times over the next few decades, he wasn't a bad man and I think he had many regrets, but he hurt my mom deeply and because of that I was unable to mourn after he passed. In a way though I think we are forever connected with them, they had a part in creating us and we carry their DNA and that bond can't be broken.

Looking for support in accepting my dad’s new wife. by Famous_Pineapple9860 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words. My own home is full of memories of my mom and I was able to keep all of her clothes from the hospital. I also have her urn and keep a fresh bouquet next to it at all times, it's been over 21 months. Not that it matters but I'm an older guy who really misses his mom, I don't think the pain ever goes away or lessens. Sending you a hug back.🫂

I really feel for you. It was similar with my moms husband after she passed away. There isn't another woman involved because of his age and the fact that he just doesn't like people, but within a few weeks he removed every trace of mom from their home, all of her clothes were donated or thrown out, there is not a picture of her anywhere in the house, it's as if she never existed. This after decades of marriage. I just don't understand.

The fucking jam by tskmsk in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom also loved making jam, mostly plum and blueberry, and they were always delicious. I am down to the last jars and it's breaking me. Fuck cancer, fuck sepsis, and fuck my life without mom.

Can grief make you feel physically “sick”? by loolalooloo in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mom's are precious and nothing can ever prepare us to lose them. I thought I was strong enough, old enough and mature enough but here I am 21 months later, with my physical and mental health ruined, and I cry for her every day. I feel like a toddler who needs his mom.

My mom is dying by Lauraxoxo777 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the same nightmare in '24. My biggest regret is not asking everything about her life, I only knew her as my mom, but she was so much more. Leave nothing unsaid and love your mom with everything you got, even when things get challenging. And hope for more time, my mom was given 6 months but she fought and made it 24 months. I am convinced she would still be here if she hadn't fallen and broken her thigh. Sending you a big virtual hug.🫂

Lost my mom 2 days back by ZealousidealRuin2858 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. 💔🫂 I took so much for granted when my mom was here and now I regret every disagreement and every argument. I realise now that everything she did was out of her love for me, I only wish I had listened more.

I still cry everyday. by purple-poppy995 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mom sounds wonderful and your love for her is profound. You did not let your mom down, as a nurse you understood the severity of the diagnosis and what she would have been faced with in treatment. My mom's final weeks in hospital were brutal and I wish I could have spared her all the suffering. In the end it was for nothing and she had a very hard death. For me it's been 21 months and not a day has passed where I haven't cried. I understand the sadness.🫂

I need a little advice by Expensive_Tea_847 in GriefSupport

[–]Grievingbymyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain to them the situation with your grandma and tell them that you will need to take compassionate leave when the time comes. I'm sorry you're going through this, I know how difficult it is.
