dealing with death parent

A 3 year old has no way of comprehending death. Hopefully he won't have to deal with it until he is plenty old enough to understand it all. He will notice this parent is gone, but won't understand "why." The best thing for this child is lots of love and attention. If he starts to ask questions, you may want to ask a psychologist how best to explain to one so young about their parent. It's sad that he's lost a parent. Take care.

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???

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.

I am dealing with Bipolar Depression... My insurance doesn't cover mental health so I don't have any meds. Before I lost my ex husbands insurance, I was taking six differents meds that helped me mix in with therapy and now I have nothing. I am getting worse by the day... I cry all the time. I overly depend on my boyfriend which I just started 4 month ago and it has been good. But my depression is pushing him away.

I'm the parent of a child with challenges. I don't think you want to hear about the pain it causes a parent to see their child struggle, hurt, and have issues. You are desperate to help them. For some, add/adhd medication makes their lives so much better. You didn't have that experience. But if you are writing a true post in which you are asking why mothers who love their children dearly take certain paths in trying to help them, it is out of goodness in most occasions.

im 19 wks pregnant and i have a fetus with a diagnosis of CPC im scared to death because i have to wait 3 wks to go to a specialist...anyone have any hopes or ideas??

In a horrible way---- my father in law had passed away that day and I was upstairs at bed time talking to my kids about his death. I spent extra time with each of my kids letting them get their thoughts and feelings out. I then noticed after a bit that my trusty, faithful dog was not upstairs with us. I found her in the kitchen with a bag over her head. She'd tried to get some beef jerky out of the bottom of a zip lock bag that was in the pantry and got her head stuck and suffocated.

Me and my boyfriend just broke up I'm 36wks and scared to death to be a single mom...how many of u are single mommies and how are u dealing with it cause personally I'm not doing very well...

i don't know how you deal with losing a child. I'm not so sure that i can ever get through this, how do you do it? I mean get up every day and not feel guilty for living without them. I feel so guilty every day for getting out of bed and her not being here. I need some advice please.

Sorry you are dealing with this. My 15 year old son also has dysautonomia, he hasn't been to school in over a year. They believe his is hereditary. My 18 daughter has symptoms, but she is quite functional, and when I was young also had many symptoms(never diagnosed). My son also has motility issues, gastroparesis, also. Everything else, intestinal wise, is working fine. He dealt with migraines for over a year, and then they stopped(pain wise).

Hi all, I am new to this forum and just beginning to search for info on ADD/ADHD. My son is 7 years old and in 2nd grade. He has not been formally diagnosed with ADD, but I am becoming more and more certain that he would be diagnosed with the disorder if "tested". I do know that there is no definite test, but a diagnosis made based on parents/teachers/others' observations of the inidivdual's behavior.

Just being with other folks who are dealing or have dealt with the same issues helped lighten the load a bit. I suggest going in with an open mind. Take what you need and leave the rest. The one thing I had to learn to do was not let my wifes problem(addiction/alcoholism) make me sick too(anxiety,guilt etc). It wasn't easy then and can still be difficult. The good news was that me getting well did not depend on my wifes behavior. That was something I had never considered.

the added pressure of giving updates, or dealing with someone hovering I knew would be too much to deal with, so, I only told those I knew would understand and support regardless if they understood. When those outside that small circle asked how I was I would reply...I am ok...hanging in...or not bad.... Vent here...let us be the support u need. Chiari makes us compensate to do daily activities others never give a second thought to....

Me not knowing what he meant said are you looking forward to holiday your tired of school already and he said to me no mom with my life I don't think I'm going to live till December. I was very shocked and sad to hear him say that and asked him but why would he say that and he's reply was because I have already lived long enough. I said to him nobody kan know when their time is up and he said to me I must take him to the doctor they will be able to tell him.

My mother(age 47) has drasticly gone down hill in the past 4yrs. It seemed to all happen at once and in the past year things have gotten worse. Heart disease runs strong in my family,not many have lived past 50yrs old.My mom has hypertension,high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, and heart disease to name a few. This past July she had to have emergeny double bypass surgery and had a minor heartatacke about a month after the surgery.

Hi, Your post has touched me because I have been (still going) through a similar situation myself. I have 4 children and it is my 3rd child, my daughter who is 11 that has been having problems with regard to being bullied. My eldest child, my son of 14 also had learning difficulties and still struggles, so I can also empathise with you on that point.

You've tried contacting him and he is not responding?
