I'm new to this site and I'm so happy I've found it! It's been 3 1/2yrs since I lost mom and it feels like yesterday. I don't have anyone to talk to really, who has experienced the loss of their parent, their very best friend in the world. My husband tries, God love him, but he doesn't understand either. I don't talk to my dad about it either because I do not want to upset him talking about her. I just feel so broken and so alone in silently dealing with my grief.

I know how you feel, it's the same for me too. The closest people to me seem to think that I should be getting better naturally as time goes by. But it isn't like that. Christina please don't feel so alone, you have your husband and your dad which is a blessing. You say they don't understand you, maybe it's just that they don't know how to deal with your grief, if they knew they'd help you. Especially your dad, he's dealing with his own grief and we go through grief as we can, not as we'd like to.

I've read a lot of stuff here in this site, and while it's not the same as having a family member or a friend listen to you, I can relate so much with some of the people here. I think it's good to take into consideration that there's a lot of people going through the same things as us. In that sense, we are not so alone.

I send you a hug.
