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

I totally understand not wanting to get out of bed. And you know what? That's ok too. When you are ready, you can make meatloaf. :) I bet her recipe was awesome! You also made it through one of the toughest days, so congrats to you, you did it!
Oh bummer re: snow. Well today is probably not a good day for a walk or a visit. Your mom would want you to be safe. Ok is there a dish that she made or was known for or something that you know she would love to eat that maybe you can make or buy? Or you can light a candle for her, play a song that she liked and just tell her you remember her, miss her and love her. Then when the snow lets up and the roads are safer, you can go visit the site. I lost my best friend a few years before my mom to a fatal accident and I went back about 6 weeks later to the site to remember her. It was snowing that day also.
How is the weather there today? Is it a nice enough day for a walk? something to get you outdoors smelling fresh air? Your mom is right there with you, watching over you. She may no longer be in her body, but she is always there with you, loving you, thanking you for loving her. Hugs for you.
Hi Shellie, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I'm sending you a big big virtual hug. I know, there is not a lot that can be said to make you feel better. All I can say is that in time, it will get a little better to learn to live without her. The pain does not subside (at least not for me). Losing a mother, no matter your age, is in my opinion and in my experience, truly devastating.
Tomorrow, on the 1 month anniversary (hugs again), maybe do one little thing in memory of your mom? I plant flowers, or do my best to remake one of her signature dishes, or I go outside and look at the birds because she loved birds, I just try to do something that she would have loved. It's all I can do other than scream how much I love and miss her.
