The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm so sorry to hear that. 
I just said a little prayer that the Lord will give you peace and strength.

I feel your pain. My mom died 9 months ago and I'm still not believing it. It sucks when you're 19 and in nursing school having to take care of things and still be a student. How are you doing? I'm sure that you're not okay.Jo1 said:My mom passed away on Tuesday

Hey, stumbled on your post while browsing the forums.....
I lost my mother just over six years ago to ovarian cancer. She had no idea she had it. She was diagnosed, and then about six months later she was gone. It slapped me, dad, and even my older brother hard. Add to the fact that she was only 61. Didn't drink or smoke, lived a healthy life.............add to the fact that her and I had just reconciled after about six years of silence towards each other.
Whatever I say to you cannot take any of the loss that you feel away. I understand that. Pain in these matters is very real and the intensity of you missing her will come in waves......one day you will be okay. Another day, out of the blue *smack* you will just start to cry for no reason about her. It will happen. I miss my mother everyday. I think of her often.
I also think and know she would not want me to be overwhelmed by grief at her not being here anymore. This will come too as well my friend. Really. It will. Goodness no, you won't forget her.....but the pain, shock, and loss of her not being and with you will fade as the years move on. The loss of a parent is not to be taken lightly.....know too that you are not alone in a forum like this.
No parent is perfect. No one may have the answer for you as to "why" but be assured that she loves you. She expects you to carry on....like any parent expects of their child. Again, let me say that you don't shrug it off. Just know that people here on this forum understand.
I will pray for you if you would like that.
