I don’t know what happened but if this is due to loss of a loved one I can tell you it does get easier to deal with as time goes by. I lost my husband of 20 years to a fatal heart attack and then a fiancé to suicide, then just a couple years ago my mother who I cared for died. It was devastating!! Three years later I’m still heartbroken but the fond memories dominate the anguish now. It’s taken a few years but there is hope.

I lost my brother in 2012. For me his death didn't hit the same as the lost of my grandfather in '97. Probably cause I wasn't as close to my brother. However my older siblings and our mother were very hurt by his death. My sisters got over his death in about 9 months or so. Personally I don't think my 1 sister actually properly dealt with his death. Our mom...well death of a child no matter the age is something very unnatural to a parent. And frankly I don't think she has ever gotten over it. She's gotten better at handling the loss of her only son.

I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. I myself am close to my mom. I can only imagine the pain you are feeling. I think in time, you'll get better at handling it. Right now it's still very fresh. It's going to hurt. I wish there was a fast forward button to speed up this part so you don't have to feel like this.

But I will say this grieve how you need to. Everyone grieves in their own ways. Everyone's time table is different. So don't let anybody rush you into getting over it.

And if you ever feel you need to talk or vent, we are always here to listen 👂🏽

Wishing you healing and love 🫂❤️

it does get easier in time. You learn accept it & live a long side it.

For me exercise nature & distraction helps. I keep really busy less time to think.
