Missing my mom

It is Mrs C's memorial week, which always weighs a little heavy on my soul. She and my dad were married on 1/13; her birthday was 1/14; and her dementia journey ended 1/17/2023. I'm still trying to figure out how to exist in a world without her in it. Anyone in the #DeadMomsClub have an experience to share? #LetsChat

... Read moreLosing a loved one, especially a parent, can be one of life's most profound challenges. During memorial weeks, the feelings of grief often become more intense as we reflect on cherished memories and significant dates. If you have lost your mother, you're not alone; many find solace in sharing their stories and connecting with others who understand their pain. Grief is a personal journey; it can evoke various emotions, ranging from sadness to anger, and even moments of joy when reminiscing about happier times. Support groups like the #DeadMomsClub provide a safe space to express feelings and connect with others undergoing similar experiences. Whether you share stories or simply listen, expressing your emotions can help in the healing process. Many also find comfort in rituals, whether it's lighting a candle, visiting a favorite place, or sharing a meal together in memory of their loved one. Engaging in such activities can offer a sense of closeness and honor the memory of those we’ve lost. If you're struggling, remember that reaching out for help from friends, family, or professionals can be a positive step. Everyone's grieving process is unique, and it's crucial to allow yourself to feel whatever emotions arise. Explore local resources, workshops, or online communities that provide guidance and support. Together, we can navigate this difficult journey, supporting one another along the way. Your experiences matter, and sharing can lead to healing for both you and others.

Missing my mom and this brightened my Day
I lost my mom Feb 19th 2015 one of the most devastating years of my life. I was in bed raising my family, bathing, I mean I was so depressed. Instead of loving on me people judged me and made me feel even lower. You can't tell somebody how to grieve and for damn sure can't put a time limit
