Yesterday, my mommy passed away. She was always the one I would turn to for comfort and now she’s left me. She would tell me everything was going to be okay, even in the end, she wanted to reassure me and say she would try her best to get better.
I’m so overwhelmed, scared and filled with grief.
I have so many adult responsibilities piling up to take care of, to honor her, picking out her urn and taking care of my 86 year old grandma who I love dearly and I am very worried for as they were very close and lived together to the very end.
I’m not ready for any of this.
I don’t understand how I’m supposed to go on without her. I guess I felt that she was supposed to be there forever.
Please be don’t hard on yourself, your mom wouldn’t like seeing you like this, please be gentle to your heart and mind and cry as much as you can. I am in the same situation where I lost my mom and my grandmom is there whom I take care now. I am still in denial after 6 months but I go to temple and a walk, I work part time and allow myself to recover. I hope you have people around to talk to and you said you loved your grandmom, so be with her, talk to her, cry with her and be strong for her.
Reach out on private message if you want to talk to me, I have never connected on a call with anyone but if you want to talk someday I can try. Just try to compose yourself and ask how you mom would feel seeing you like this. I apologize if you didn’t like anything I said and take your time griefing
