My Mother has Passed Away

Post Reply New Topic

My mother passed away about a week ago. She just gave up on living after having a number of strokes.She was a very depressed woman.We were never close for various reasons.She did not understand why I am going to college.
It has been very hard for me and very few know that she has passed away. She and my sister live elsewhere in the state and I do not what to be in the same room with relitives who are very by-polar. I know some do not un derstand but thank you for listening.

Life sucks.

My condolences to you. If you need grief therapy, please seek out a t;herapy group.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Please don't underestimate the importance of grieving and process for a healthier outcome. What you do now to look after yourself and your own process will benefit you greatly down the line.

I know the feeling, my dad died a few years ago who I was never close to and most of my grief was not over losing him but over things I should have said, what I wished he said to me. I grieved over the relationship I never could have with him.

Somehow I think it is harder to lose a loved one you are conflicted with, than someone who you are close to because there is no sense of closure with the issues between you both.

Why didn't she want you to go to college?? My mom is begging my brother to go to college, but he wont go.

sorry about your loss, pm me if you need to talk


Jojo

i'm so sorry to hear that. (((((hugs))))) it makes it especially hard when you have mixed feelings about someone who has died. i hope you are able to get through this ok, and that you are able to accept and work through whatever feelings that come up.

please don't hesitate to rely on people in real life that you trust, as well as online friends like us. i also understand the desire to talk about it here. i came to WP very soon after my mom died, to talk about it.

I am sorry to hear that. It is very hard to lose someone, whether the relationship was close or not. No relationship is perfect, but losing the person is difficult no matter what.

Those of us here do care and will listen if you want to talk about it as time goes on.

preludeman I am very sorry to hear that. *Hugs*

My condolences as well.

That's awful! I wish you the best in coming to terms with and feeling peace about the death of your mom. It's never easy. No matter if you weren't close or not, she was still your mom and you must be going through a lot right now!

My grandparents died three months ago and we were never close, but the gravity of losing such close familial ties was devastating.

I'm sorry about the loss of your mum.

I'm sorry for your loss. (((hugs)))

Thank you for your help and understanding.

My condolences for your loss as well. Losing any relative, regardless of the closeness or distance in the relationship, is still a tough blow to take. It sounds like she had been quite ill for some time, having had a series of strokes, and the last one finally took her life. That's exactly the same way my grandfather passed away, when I was just a toddler. The best thing to keep in mind during this difficult time is that she is now in a much better place, and she is no longer suffering.

I am so sorry. The loss of your mother, no matter what the relationship was like, is devastating.

I'm sorry for your loss.
