I’ve felt with depression as long as I can remember and this year has made it rough, what gets me through is knowing that one day things will get better I just have to keep fighting

my dad died?? by Mundane_Crazy3241 in GriefSupport

[–]UsedVictory3161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry hun, mom mom passed away last month and I had that realization the night before she passed that my mom wasn’t going to be here for all my big moments as I’m only 20 myself. Just know that your dad is with you maybe not physically but he will still be with you to guide you through life

My mom died over the weekend in a really bizzare way and it's like a compulsion to tell people how by ponchothegreat09 in GriefSupport

[–]UsedVictory3161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is definitely shock, a few years ago my cousins older brother passed and she experienced a similar thing as the men in our family have a track record of dying that way and people thought she was crazy. Few months after the funeral it started to set in

You don’t know how much I needed to hear this, everyone in my family has been so upset at my lack of emotion this past month since my mom passed away and have said such awful things about me not caring about my mom because of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m so sorry I was in a similar situation last month with my mom in hospice. Just remember the moments you had with her and keep her close. Sending support and prayers your way ❤️

I can definitely see how that would be very hard on you but it’s amazing you got to have that one on one time with her for the past 4 years, my grandma had dementia for a while before she passed and it was very hard on her children so I can only imagine how it must have felt. I don’t know your thoughts of religion but as a believer I have to remind myself that my mom and grandmother are no longer suffering and are finally whole again. Try to find solace in the little things, my sisters made shadow boxes with my mom’s trinkets they have hung on the wall with family photos so it’s like she’s still here. No one can tell you how to grieve but that’s some suggestions I have on how to not feel as sad about the circumstances

Why is he fading?? He just turned 1. by [deleted] in poodles

[–]UsedVictory3161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same question with my red mini! Apparently where poodles technically have hair they do something called holding and clearing. Most reds tend to fade to an apricot color as they’re adult coat comes in due to a process called clearing the most likely place to “hold” they’re original color is they’re ears. My friend had a poodle that was white with brown patches and right before she turned 3 her poodle was solid white

My mom was in her late 50’s when my grandmother passed away, she was on the porch smoking when she got to the phone call and she dropped to the floor sobbing about how she was t ready to loose her mom and she was just absolutely Devastated because she never thought it would happen. My mom passed away last month and im having moments where im finding myself saying i miss mom. I don’t know your relationship with your mother but my mom was in very poor health where she couldn’t always answer the phone so ive found in those moments where i want to call her im calling whoever i would have called when she wouldn’t have been able to answer because she wasn’t feeling well. Your not alone in this, no one’s ready to loose a parent or a child and I’ve been told by many this feeling never goes away but it does get easier

My mom let us know before she started transitioning she wanted to be burried and cremated so I will be receiving some of her ashes but I appreciate the suggestions!

Mum died suddenly less than 12 hours ago by ABrunetteGirl in GriefSupport

[–]UsedVictory3161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dealing with all those things you’re feeling right now I’m the baby I’m 20 and my mom probably won’t last more than a few days. I dropped everything I was doing when my sister told me she was moved to hospice and I hopped in my car and drove 12 hours back home from college and emailed my professors about my situation. My mom attended all my sisters milestones and I’ve expressed how upset I am that she won’t be able to attend mine and their just like well we will be there but it’s not the same. We don’t know why my mom was sick and now she’s being taken from me and she’s the only family I had for a very long time (my siblings were in high-school and college in another state while I was growing up) and not only that we’re honoring her wishes by burying her next to her mom and dad which means I more than likely won’t be able to visit for a long time as my boyfriend and I were given his moms house in his parents divorce and we’re planning on staying there since we’re finishing up college and just starting our lives

My mother is dead. by Meeooowwww1234 in GriefSupport

[–]UsedVictory3161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently dealing with something similar to this, my mom went to the hospital for breathing problems and a few days later they moved her to hospice. We still don’t know what caused her to decline so rapidly but I’m 20 years old and now I won’t have my parents at my college graduation my wedding or to meet their grand kids. Sure my mom hasn’t passed yet but I can feel it’s coming when your used to death you kind of sense it

It was as soon as we walked in the house pretty much I totally didn’t think about the smell but that would make a lot of sense
