"I lost my husband overnight that it happened so fast that I still can’t accept that he’s gone."
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.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I don't really like giving advice on how to cope with a loss because we all grieve differently but I can give suggestions on how to make yourself feel better. You can keep a journal to write down your thoughts, I found that was the best for me. I know it hurts and people will try to tell you it'll get better over time, which it will, a little but the pain wont go away completely. I know she's watching over you and she'll always be with you. You will be in my prayers.
Leanne,
I am so sorry for your loss. It doesn't seem fair, does it, that your mom isn't around to share in your life now. It sounds like you have done a wonderful job of continuing to live your life and she would be so proud of you. I'm sure you've heard the words from others, "she lives on IN you", but, it doesn't take the hurt away does it?
I lost my husband this past November to cancer. Our 2 children live with us; my daughter is 24 and my son is 26. My son had just started a brand new teaching job at a local high school and was excited to come home and talk with his father. My daughter used to talk to him about animals...they both miss him terribly.
You know what one of his first thoughts was when he heard his diagnosis? He looked at me and said "I'll never see my grandchildren". I'm sure your mother had those same thoughts.
Were you close to your mom? What do you remember about her?
