My mom passed away in March of this year from leukeima. I miss her terribly still.
Is it just me, or do others think that our society sort of expects you just to move on quickly after the death of a parent? People only ask how me how my Dad is coping (which of course it's been hard for him to). It's like people don't even acknowledge the depth of losing a parent. I know it's natural to lose your parents, but it still hurts so much. I am 26, but I still feel like I need my Mom very much. I'm just going through the motions right now...I go to work every day, go to grad school at night, try to stay positive, but it takes everything I have to do so.
By being so busy though, I'm afraid I'll forget everything my mom taught me, and that really scares me. I'm afraid of crash-and-burn too.
To those who have went through this, does grief conseling help? I'm very reserved when it comes to feelings, so I can't really imagine discussing them with anyone face-to-face
