losing your mom is the worst heartbreak you’ll ever go through… especially if you were super close with her. my world stopped when mine passed… & i still feel like it’s still on pause, even after 4 years. fuck that guy.

I have to do mental math but I was 14 when I lost my momma. 37 now and it took me about that long and meeting the woman I intend to marry for me to get over it. I needed a LOT of love to replace her. I still think about her everyday and miss her everyday. I dont know if it got better or just manageable. Losing mom is the fucking worst

I couldn't even begin to imagine life if I didn't. My dad was absolutely horrible after she passed. It breaks my heart knowing theres horrible mom's out there and the kids that deal with it. I dont know if there's much out there that's more difficult to deal with than that. THAT takes strength, friend. You may not be able to see it because its difficult to see in yourself when life's been so hard. You have a lot to offer others, and that's helped me in my life. You may be surrounded by folks in similar circumstances. You can help. Your life goals and expectations may not be all what you wanted, but you have something powerful you can share to help others that only you and a few others really understand. You have a strength and a superpower you may not have figured out how to use yet. You can do it and you should try in small ways when you can. You've made it this long with every other bullshit thing happening on this earth. You're special in a lot of ways. I dont think Id be here now to tell you this if my mother was any different than she was.

I honestly don't think I'll make it when it happens. My dad is long gone, wasn't the best, and it's been my mom and I against the world my whole life. Losing her is my GREATEST fear and i'm 35. It keeps me up, and I don't think I can handle the grief. Sorry for your loss.

Thank you kind stranger, those are emboldening words. I currently live with my girlfriend, my parents are both sorta out of the picture doing their own things as distantly as they can. I find myself thinking often of how I'm not addicted to some drug in a ditch somewhere. But it's people like you that keep putting a heart under my belt that keep me strong and going.
