I feel for your loss of your Mom. I lost my Mom almost five and half years ago. I felt I lost my true friend. You have to know that she is still there in your heart.

I know it seems like there is nothing to live for and that life is to hard. It does get better. Since last December I have lost my grandparents and I had two miscarriages. There are times that I want to go back on my klonopin to make things easier, I went off of it to try to have a successful pregnancy which did not happen. I felt like a failure. You need to focus on the small victories. You have made it this far in life and you have been fighting everyday for your life to be as normal as possible. Please find a professional to talk to. One that specializes in grief and anxiety. If you can find a support group that could help because people who are in the same situation can give you advice and show you how they are coping. Stay strong, it does get better.

Do you have any friends you can reach out to? Are you in therapy? Have you talked with your therapist about this? One person, just one person who really cares can be the start of helping you. If you can handle a support group, that could help a lot! You could make that one friend there.

Keep coming back here and let us know how you are doing, ok?

You are not alone. This website has helped me so much at some very low times. Hang in there and know that there are others out there that share in your pain. Knowing that another person has taken the time to respond to me at a low time has really helped me. Many people feel hopeless and defeated especially at this time of year. Know that we all have difficulties to get through and that others do care. Peace to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Can you get Medicaid where you are?

A therapist would be good for you now. Are you on meds? They may help.

I can relate to the feeling of being hopeless and defeated. Very sorry to hear about you losing your mother. I lost my mother back in 2001 to cancer and still miss her desperately. I can tell you though that the grief does get easier with time. anytime you'd like to talk for support, hit me up.
