Members R.A.P. Posted May 5, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 🙄 I lost my mother and son in February. I struggle each day to manage life knowing that they aren't in it anymore. People say it will get easier. Some say it doesn't get easier you just learn to manage the pain better. I feel on the verge of tears all the time. I'm struggling with depression and hoping someone else understands what this is like and how to manage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AshleyQuinlansMom Posted May 5, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I’m so sorry. That’s just awful. I just lost my daughter about 6 weeks ago and the one terrifying thought is loosing my Mom too. She’s 92 and doing fine… but she is 92 and we had a scare with her taken to the ER but she is thankfully just fine….So anyway it’s been a very rough 50 days loosing my girl. There’s no magic time for grief. There is nothing that will make it better. My baby was murdered so I get the unpleasant anger that surrounds that mess… but I did want to reach out to you. I see you posted about 8 hours ago… a bunch of people read but don’t post. I just wanted you to know that I feel for your pain. Shock, pain, tears, it’s all normal… let yourself go through all of it. There’s no time limit.. and don’t let anyone tell you how to feel. Unfortunately this could be well over a year or more before we can even catch our breath. No… we will never get over it, but somehow will learn our new normal and learn to live with it. Hang in there. ((Hugs)). The best advice I can think of is.. talk about it. Somehow it helps. People tend to not bring up those who passed as to not remind you their gone… we don’t need to be reminded, we will never forget. Like they say .. don’t talk about them because their gone.. talk about them because they lived. All we have left are the memories. Stay strong Momma.. and be blessed this Mother’s Day.. it’s going to be a rough one. ((More hugs)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liene Posted June 8, 2022 Members Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 So sorry for you loss! I understand you, because I've been there. I lost my son 8 years ago, so I've on this journey for a while now. It does get easier with time, and it's very hard, if not impossible, to believe that it could get better when you are in the thick of the grief. I'm telling my story in more detail on the podcast Life After Child Loss https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/life-after-child-loss/id1591960800?i=1000539668604, if you want to check it out. Maybe it helps.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
