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.

Shemica,
I see you have come to this website and though I am so sorry you have had to come here I think you will find it a place where everyone here will understand how you are feeling and you wont feel so alone. Your friends and family will try but this is the one place where everyone will get it.
You are in such early stages of this grief and each of us could tell you we also did not know what to do or how to cope and we are in such shock we just don't know how to go from day to day. You will feel this way for quite awhile but it is going to be your minds way of dealing with your loss. That's why you need to take it minute by minute. Don't think too far ahead. Do what is the next best thing but don't push it and don't try to do too much.
You will find yourself trying to keep yourself distracted because the crying will be brutal. Finding balance will be close to impossible but keep yourself going by doing the basics. Trying to get a shower,eating, getting groceries and taking care of your son will just about expend everything you have energy wise. Just know this is going to be how you are going to feel for awhile. I am so sorry. I wish there was something more I could say to you but I hope you will know we are here for you when you need us.
