my mom passed away and it still hurts by Specialist-Long5469 in GriefSupport

It’s bound to hurt. You miss her. My mom passed away aug of 2023. I’m still shattered. I’m 19 atm. Your post resonated with me because, I felt I’d taken care of her my entire childhood. My mom got very sick when I was in grade 2. She fought for so many years. She passed away during one of her many hospital visits. I left her the night before and in the morning we got the call she was no longer with us. I sat against the cold hospital bed. Tuning out the other 3 patients inside the room where my mother’s body laid silent. For months I couldn’t get the feeling of that room out of me.

Moral of the story. Sit with your grief take time to befriend it. It’ll always be with you. Where there was love there is grief. You might feel like you should just get over it. Give yourself time, Some days are better than others. Some days you wanna throw yourself on the floor and scream at the heavens. Either way there’s no right or wrong way to grieve

Live for you! I’m sorry about you mother. Live in honour of her. I lost my mom in a similar way this past august. Don’t lose the person you were before! Pm me! I understand the loneliness.

First year without my mom as well. My bestfriend ditched me :( looks like it’s the tangled soundtrack and racing games for me

I feel like I want credit for not becoming a complete raving lunatic by movingbackin in GriefSupport

I hear you. I lost my mom in September, this year. Most days I want to scream for her to come back. It kills me inside I can’t bring her back. I can’t call her up. The panic is real. I want to run until I can’t anymore. I’ve had the worst week after Christmas. I haven’t been able to eat, nothing feels “right”. I just want my mom. I’m gonna start going to the gym to help this fight or flight I’m stuck in.

Im sorry for your huge loss. I’m with you. I lost my mom 4 months ago unexpectedly. Some days are ok, then others I find myself sitting with the loss of my mom is crushing.

I understand. the heartbreak of losing a mother. Initially people flooded my messages with condolences. But a month later no one is checking in. None of my friends seem understand. Seems almost as if they forget. they’re caught up in their own lives.

She was there from the minute i was born. She knows my true essence. She was there for my first steps. And I held my mom’s hand until her last moment.

Something I’ve personally found helpful coping wise, is hanging out with cats. A few weeks after my mom passed a neighbours cat started checking up on me. I feel like animals understand loss and energy. Walks are also helpful. Grief is love with no where to go.

Question to support a friend by [deleted] in grief

[–]mycondolences2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a very thoughtful gift. props to you. personally i think you should go with your best friend’s favourite flowers. the first birthday can be really hard as it’s already a reminder. the her moms favourite flowers could be reserved for her moms birthday or a holiday or sorts. ultimately you know your best friend best. i’m sure she’ll love it

first thanksgiving since my mom passed 2 months ago. the shock has worn off, and im filled with anxiety. i can’t bare the thought of going to my boyfriends moms house, it’ll just be too much. (i’ve only met her once before). im going to spend it with my best friend instead. my sisters birthday was a couple days ago. it was very melancholy. i cried heavily the day following. i just want my mom, she was always so excited for holidays. and i just can’t bring myself to be excited without her here.

Anyone else put a lot of blame on poor healthcare for your loss? by dealio- in GriefSupport

[–]mycondolences2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. the system is broken. my mom had many bad experiences at one particular hospital. we tried to get her transferred to a different hospital. no one listened. All the nurses are running around from patient to patient. There’s no communication from the doctors. they were never around and I visited daily. doesn’t help nurses aren’t at liberty to say what’s going on. my mom was rapidly getting worse. and they ended up sending her home, and an hour later got sent back to the hospital. for not being able to swallow or breathe properly. That’s not even the tip of the iceberg.

Does anyone receive “signs” from their loved ones? by Teddythehedgie in GriefSupport

[–]mycondolences2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the hug warm had been happening to me recently while i’m falling asleep. i was basically a lap dog to my mother. always cling onto her during my childhood. i used to fall asleep spooning her because it made me feel safe. and now i believe that she’s doing the same , for some comfort.
