Profile Information

About Me:
I am a professional in the field of helping others with these type of issues. I am single and alone. I am a private person. I enjoy art, drawing, and painting. This is something I have only recently discovered I am good at and it helps me express myself. I also like to write.
About my Loss:
My mother died two weeks ago and I am at a loss. My father, who is actually my step-father excluded me and three of my siblings, his non-biological children from being a part of any decision making and even kept us from having time to talk to our mother. It is not only her death that I feel a loss but also there feels a loss of our family, his biological children and his adopted (step-children).
The care that my mother was getting was very poor and my step-father kept her drugged. The poor care is not because of lack of money to pay for her care, my step-father would refuse to allow the nurse, social worker, and caregiver into the home even to bath my mother. I traveled a great distance to see my mother before she died, she had asked that I come to see her, only to be to told that I was not allowed to talk to her. I was on my back to see her and was in the airport waiting for my flight when I got a call from my sister that she had died. It all feels so crazy, really crazy and disrespectful of my mother and me. I think I would be coping better if I had been allowed to have even a few hours with my mother before she died and was not being treated as if my feelings don't matter.

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
