My mom died from cancer complications on September 19th. I was in the hospital room with her when she died, and I watched the life leave her. Since then, I have been lost. I am lost without her. I am only 16 and I was extremely attached to my mom, she was the most important person in my life and she made me feel safe and comforted. Now she is gone and I have no idea what to do anymore. I do not know how to function during school either. I do not know how to do anything.
Before this, I have been depressed for four years. Since she was diagnosed, actually. My brother died around the same time as well. Now my mind is so beyond messed up and I am so tired of everything. I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. With anything.

You are on a very bumpy road right now. I doubt anyone would be able to bounce back fast after all you experienced. You aren’t messed up. You are human. We grieve and have feelings. Don’t get down on yourself for that.
I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine what you are going through. It's ok that you don't have all the answers right now, you are grieving. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other for now.
Oh my dear one, I am so sorry you don’t have your mom in this world anymore. I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know you will heal and be ok, one day having your own family full of love. There are grief programs that are free called GriefShare. I highly recommend you find a grief support group. Do you have any family support, anyone you can talk to about your mom? Part of grieving is keeping the memory of the loved one alive with others who knew her. Read all you can about grief, there are a lot of really good books written on death and grief. If you can get to a bookstore or even online like Audible. The more you understand grief it will help you process your feelings. I will keep you in my prayers ❤️
I am so so sorry for your losses. You have definitely hit a rough patch and what your feeling is completely justified. I'm sure you've already been told this, but it is so true - just take things one day at a time. Keep using this platform for support, talk to a therapist, confide in someone you trust, whatever you feel most comfortable with to get your thoughts out. Sending you love.
Hi I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved mum, this must have been very hard for you especially at such a young age. I am so sorry as well to hear about your brother. 2 losses in such a short time is enough to mess anyone's head up so take it easy on yourself. Expect to be devastated so just concentrate on getting through the days as best you can and make sure you grieve. Can you take some time out and talk to other family members? Your loved ones will always be with you you know in some form and while it doesn't seem like it now you will be able to eventually move on with your life. x
