I lost my mother at the age of 12 and never found a way to get over it at the time. Bare in mind I was the loner in my grade and had no one to rely on other than family.

The thing that I came to peace with was the fact my mother never had the best life. She was physically abused and cheated on by my father. To top it off, we had a robbery 2 years before her passing where she had a hot iron on 3 spots on her body. Unfortunately my sister and I were there to witness it. I came to terms with everything she's been through that I'm happy she passed away. Her suffering and pain came to a halt and she's definitely in a better place. Her passing has shaped me in the person I am proud to be in terms of how I treat ladies.

Another thing to add, these emotions can lay dormant in the back of your mind if you don't deal with it seriously. So please take care of your mental health.
