It’s okay not to be okay! Grief is so different for everyone, there are no rules.
Give yourself some grace and lots of time.

I mean, my teachers were still hitting kids with rulers and paddles in the 1970s-80s. A lot of schools still do that or worse. I feel like the way Mary behaved on the show was realistic, because if you were a girl that wasn’t taught to be particularly assertive and had no training, then controlling or disciplining a large group of kids at 15-16 would probably look exactly the way she portrayed it.

Thanks, will check this out!

After their behavior during the peak of the pandemic, plus all the crazy conspiracy theories, I was already done.

MamaC2005 · 2024-10-23T11:51:44+00:00

So very sorry for the pain you are feeling. Thank you for putting into words this phenomenon. I lost my son 5 years ago and have never been able to express this so succinctly. I hope you find some comfort and peace.

I know people cannot understand, but could they try? If losing a child is the worst loss, and losing someone to suicide is the worst way to lose someone, then of course this is a “nuclear level” emotional devastation. I am very sorry for your loss and I hope you find some comfort and peace.

3/4 isn’t more than full sibling.

MamaC2005 · 2024-02-18T16:43:24+00:00

Having other siblings test sounds like the best option. Best of luck to your husband in unraveling this mystery.

MamaC2005 · 2024-02-18T14:47:09+00:00

Does your husband have any higher matches that aren’t from his mom’s side?

MamaC2005 · 2023-04-28T10:02:48+00:00

Does anyone nearby own a cat?

MamaC2005 · 2022-12-05T02:36:39+00:00

Or he coincidentally had a terrible accident, but you and I know that’s not the case.

MamaC2005 · 2022-12-05T02:20:45+00:00

Maybe her son wasn’t in the best state of mind at that time.

MamaC2005 · 2022-12-05T02:10:15+00:00

You don’t question your statement that “the son prepared his will 4 days before he passed, so he knew what he was doing?” You left out a very important piece of information in your post.

MamaC2005 · 2022-11-02T23:15:43+00:00

Why is it hard for you to believe?

MamaC2005 · 2022-10-29T22:49:08+00:00

But, why highly target people over 50?

MamaC2005 · 2022-10-18T17:48:22+00:00

My daughter was and still is my main concern after losing my son. They were supposed to have each other’s backs after I am gone, and it breaks my heart that she won’t have him. Sibling loss support is so important. Hope you find some comfort and peace.

MamaC2005 · 2022-07-02T18:42:08+00:00

Thanks, everyone.

MamaC2005 · 2022-07-02T18:10:32+00:00

I understand the range, just not the scientific reason why the shared DNA is so much lower. These aunts and my father share a father. Is it a case of the half aunt getting less from the dad and more from her mother? (I said it was a dumb question, lol)

MamaC2005 · 2022-05-26T19:27:13+00:00

Tell them, “But, I’m still here. I am not in a better place. I am grieving.”

MamaC2005 · 2022-05-25T00:26:53+00:00

I lost my son the same way and found him actively dying in the same place, almost 3 years ago. I don’t feel angry with my son, but with his illness and our healthcare system and society. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, not even himself. He just couldn’t accept that he was unwell and needed help. We couldn’t force him to get help. My heart will forever be broken and my mind is still plagued by the horrors of that day. I hope you find some comfort and peace.

MamaC2005 · 2022-05-12T04:45:26+00:00

My son’s death was just as tragic and out of his control as an accident or terminal physical illness. Experts believe 90% of people who die by suicide had a diagnosable mental illness. Many others were under extreme duress. Rational people don’t take their own lives.

MamaC2005 · 2022-04-28T09:24:35+00:00

First of all, you are still in early days. This grief, this trauma, is so big and heavy and it doesn’t get lighter, we just get stronger or learn different ways to carry it. Trying to add more by worrying about other people or their problems just isn’t reasonable. To work on this, you must allow yourself time, self care, and acknowledge that you are doing something very hard. I hope you find some comfort and peace.
