One day we were on a family road trip, less than a week later she was buried

[HZ_Blitzer]

This happened 2 years ago but just knowing my mother will never see me graduate, marry, grow is just so depressing. No one in my family gets it. My cousins, uncles all think that I have moved on when in reality I wake up dreading the day because life can get so sad when you don't have a mother to care for you when you're sick, or do anything with.

Dear Hz-Blitzer,

I'm so sorry, I know how hard it is. It's been 18 months since I lost my parent and people don't think I should be upset anymore. I have to put on a public face. I sort of think there will be tough days for the rest of my life.

Please know you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings.

I know different things work for different people. But it might help to talk to a grief counsellor or join a support group in the community. I've tried different things in hopes of trying to move forward the best I can.

I also find these websites helpful in understanding my grief.
