Common Questions and Answers about Dealing with death of mother

death

Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

Avatar f tn At first it seems like the light at end of the tunnel, is so far and out of reach, but with the right support the tunnel is not so scary. This is what I tell myself everyday. I say, "Rachel, live today like Cooper would want you to!" "Live this day to make all his Angel Buddies proud!!" Your daughter does not want you to be sad, she wants you to LIVE. Keep her alive by sharing her life with others, the more you tell the more will LOVE!!!!!

Avatar f tn My therapist thinks she figured it out very young, to align herself with my mother, and therefore, she got more of what she needed in life. She has been married for 20 years now, no kids (thank goodness!), with a pretty good life, where mine has been nothing but struggle and disappointment! I'm in my 40s now, and my mother just died, my dad died years ago, and after he died things got worse, as my mother didn't do much for us at all, in terms of anything.
Avatar f tn Can anyone recommend any books on dealing with the loss of your mother and your very best friend. I know I need help, I feel like I'm drowning. I miss her so much, I just don't know how to go on. Thanks for any help you can give.
192055 tn?1263555537 I lost my mother due to cancer when i was 16. My sister and I both dealt with my mother's death in totally different ways. I cried and shut things out and did drugs to take the pain away. eventually though i dealt with it. my sister on the other hand shut everything off and didn't really deal with it for a long time. now she can talk about it and be fine. we like to remember all the good things about her.
Avatar f tn for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???
Avatar f tn Addiction started in the beginning of 2008. While I was giving birth he was taking pills outside in the car.. He was on & off in 2009.. 2010 was very bad. He did rehab for about 3 hours.. I had thought he hit rock bottom but he didn't. I had an intervention with one of his parents in Nov of 2010 & he was clean, cold turkey, until April of this year.. It has been hell ever since..
Avatar f tn I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Ladies are right please take care of yourself and the baby your mom would have wanted that. Maybe you can drink those Ensure drinks with all the nutrients if you just can't stomach food. You are in my prayers.
Avatar f tn This is like having the flu everyday of your life. My two younger children are so fed up with my illness that they both now live with their father and no longer talk to me. That is very painful. I know where you're coming from and I understand how it feels when your family turns their back on you. I don't have the answers because I haven't been able to find them myself.
Avatar f tn As the mother of three children I cannot begin to imagine the heartache and loss. I know that with the loss of other family members, it changes you somewhat. I think that when you lose someone that you loved with all your heart there is a part of you that goes with them and never returns. You learn to go forward as a different you. To have that be compounded by the loss being a child is simpy unfathomable to me. So very very sorry!
Avatar f tn I Just tell myself everyday that he is in a better place taking care of all of us and watching me become a mother...
7294851 tn?1389925070 Watching a loved one die slowly is a horribly difficult thing to do, no matter what illness is causing it (my own mother died a slow and painful death from COPD), but a self- inflicted one adds another layer of difficulty. I know I will eventually be facing this kind of death with my alcoholic brother, who is also only 58. At least it sounds like you have a pretty healthy mental framework set up for yourself in dealing with it.
Avatar f tn I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.
Avatar f tn me im a single mother working. At mc donadls living with my mother and i struggle every day with how. Im take care. Of my son. But i pray about it and i know im have bad days..
Avatar n tn My mother has had problem over the last several years with drugs, maily loratabs. She has stolen from people that trusted her. Including her own children's that were prescibed for a reason. She has gone to detoxic, half way houses, NA meetings several times. After everytime she claims to be better but next thing I know she steals them from me or some else. The other day she came over and then all of the sudden left in a hurry.
