I'm currently 17 years old and I lost my mom exactly 1 month ago to a hemorrhage in her brain. I was out for lunch with my mom and everything was perfectly fine until she collapsed. 15 minutes later paramedics told me she was dead.

My mom and I had such an amazing relationship and she was the one person who fully understood and supported me. Her death has killed a piece of me. I miss my mommy so much.

My dad, little brother and I have all been supporting each other. We are also all attending grief & trauma councelling. My friends at school have been pretty supportive. But the truth is that none of them actually understand what I'm going through. A month has passed and I can see some of my friends 'getting over it'. It just sucks that I feel so isolated. My views on the world and the meaning of things have changed hugely. Things that seem so important to other people are so insignificant to me now. And I feel this incredible wall separating myself from everyone around me.

I guess I'm just looking for anyone who can relate to what I'm going through.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I certainly don't know how you feel, but I do know that the losses that I have suffered have caused great pain.

Your feelings and grieving are unique to you. No one else can fully understand. Spend time with people who give you the room you need for your emotions. And try to develop a hope for a positive future...if you have faith in God the Bible does give us all a wonderful hope of reunion with our loved ones. That can help.

Gina, I've been there and I'd be happy to help. I remember how incredibly helpful it was to have support after my mother died. It was the hardest time of my life. Please let me know how you're doing and what I could do to help.

Mine died when I was 15, which was 17 years ago. She had cancer and died within three months. I was stunned, as I had no idea how sick she really was, and at 15, I just thought she was going to get better.

Hi Gina, I just want to let you know you are not and never will be alone even though it will certainly feel like it. My wife passed away 1,312 days ago suddenly from a brain hemorrhage also. She came home from work, sat down and was basically gone within 5 minutes.

My daughter was 16 and son 21 at that time and they miss her dearly every day, as much as I do.

I totally get the views and meaning part you mentioned.

Some days I'll just sit here, and can't freakin' believe this is real.

So sorry for your loss.

I lost my mum 2 months ago. My heart goes out to u. It's so sad x

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
