Delayed grief

I lost my mom to a rare brain disease two years ago. My daughter had a psychotic break and was diagnosed with severe depression shortly after. I have been slowly sinking into my own depression to the point I just don’t care about anything. I realize that I didn’t and haven’t begun to grieve for my mom. Though I’ve lost my dad, brother and, recently, a good friend, I always had my mom to ground me. I’ve tried counseling but just feel coddled. It validates nothing and leaves me feeling worse than when I went in. Having read many of your posts I feel the community may be helpful. Sharing my grief with people who’ve been there is both sad and heartening.

Dear Adam,

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is devastating to lose a beloved parent that was our everything. Please know there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I know for myself it was a bit of trial and error and different things work for different people. I hope you and your daughter can find the right supports during this sad and difficult time.

We have a good group of people here. I know it helped me a lot. I also suggest these websites for additional supports.
