I lost my mom July 18 of this year. Yesterday was two months and probably the hardest I have ever gone through. I have a hard time sleeping so I basically watch tv till I fall asleep. I have a hard time making it through work. It’s such a struggle. I want to hear her voice or to hug her. Every time a Wednesday comes I start to count down till Thursday when we had to take her off the machines. I think about the conversations the doctors had with us. What I was doing at that moment. This is so hard.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom, @JSiragusa. I’m just giving your thread a gentle bump - I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support.
Hi sorry you lost your mum.
I know what it’s like to lose my mum. She left me nearly 8 years ago this November and it is hard. Trust me our mums never really left us. They are by our sides
I wish you well
I’m really sorry for your loss, losing a parent is like losing a limb. And the process of grief is so agonising and traumatic. The way she passed has left a deep traumatic imprint and has left you questioning and replaying things.
We recently lost my grandad very very suddenly. I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever have happiness ever again in life at this moment in time. My mum is struggling to comprehend that she has lost her dad -she says that life without him is scarier than death. I sometimes don’t really see life worth living without him. But. Grief does that.
I just want to say I’m really proud of you, I know we don’t know each other but you are doing the best you can and tackling the worst feelings and emotions in the world. You’re still standing.
I don’t think this grief will ever truly leave, but there will come a time when you look on her memories and you don’t cry immediately. And I myself am not a spiritual person, but I always take comfort in the saying that you will meet again.
I do believe going to the GP or very specifically a grief councillor would be a good idea. For some reason talking to people who have heard other people’s grief feels so freeing.
