Insecurity

I lost my mother last year at the age of 42. Im only in my early twenties and I feel like Im too young to have to go through this. I think about her everday even though its been a year it still feels like she just died. I miss her so much, she was the only family that I had. I have really sunk since her death. Im in the beginning of my life and I can't believe I have to live so long without her. I feel like a little 5-year old orphan without parents now that she is dead. It feels like nobody cares about me. How long is this insecure feeling going to last? I know Ill always miss her, but I just want to feel secure again. I guess I have a lot of maturing to do. How long am I going to feel like an orphan? Im grown, I should nt be feeling insecure like this.

Hi Julia, Im really sorry your mom is gone.  Life is just so unfair at times.  You say you shouldn't be feeling like this.  Well, with grief there is no right or wrong way to feel.  Feelings just are and you have to cut yourself some slack.  You have suffered a huge lose.  It will take some time before you learn how to live your life with what you have now.  For most people, talking stuff out really helps. You will find this is a wonderful place to do that.  You will find understanding and acceptance in whatever mood you find yourself in at the time.  Im really sorry you need a place like this, but you have found a great one.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
