lost my very close uncle due to a brutal media public homicide and feel so alone and have a hard time being a mom

I'm a single mom who was very close to my uncle who happen to be gay, he took me under his wing at a young age and was always there for me ( paid for my college, moral support) He was murdered a little over 2 weeks ago by a man I met when I was visiting him a few months ago and developed a crush one me and would start calling and texting me a lot till I asked him to stop unless it was about my uncle. My father who was his best friend and brother who is also gay had a stroke 2 days later and I fear he may commit suicide. My uncle took care of me for my dad when my dad was not able to do so anymore to explore his new life style. But I still need my dad and begged him not to hurt himself tonight and told him that he is all I have now.

I would think that with all that would happen that the love and support would keep coming in, but it has stopped. People just say be strong your a mom and have to focus on your child, well I know that but that doesn't take that pain away! I feel like my "support group" is like it has been a couple weeks get over it and lets go party......wth. I'm doing my nest to be a mom and not let my son know I'm upset but that doesn't take my pain away from my uncle, the disgusting factor of the man who did it and the worrisome of my father who I still love.

Any suggestions?

Its really awful time for you and I m so sorry for heard about your loss. I understand your feelings and its difficult to deal with this grief. I also lost my uncle 3years ago and it was so bad experience for me. I loved him so much and never forget him. He was very important for me.

Don't think you are alone. He is always with you in your soul. Death is the law of nature and everyone going to heaven one day. I pray to God for you and give you strength. My condolences for you. Sympathy Verse

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
