• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Mama raised from the time I was an infant. When I was nine, I found out she was my grandmother. I have never been the same since, I can truly say this affected the rest of my life.

My real mother is alive; I talk to her most weeks. We live miles apart. I care about her, but the feelings I have for Mama are so much more intense.

I've moved on with my life and I am content for the most part.

Mama passed away 12 years ago December.

This week, for some reason, I have cried for Mama often, like she just passed away.

I miss her terribly! Wish I had known her better! wish I could have learned more from her! I always felt like I was so important to her. I've always felt like she is the only one who ever loved and worried about me.

The sadness I feel for her this week has such a grip on me!

(((Third11))) I am so sorry for your grief! I feel the same way about my sweet mama, who passed away in December of 2009--no one has or will ever care for me like she did. I always said she was my biggest (and perhaps, only) fan! I miss her love and support every single day. I do take comfort in knowing that God loves and cares for me so much more than she ever could...and that was a lot!!!

Praying that God will comfort you now and bring you peace. :hug:s

Third11, I would like to send my condolences to you as well. I'm sure you're still extremely important to your mama. And be rest assured she is watching over you in some shape or form.

Unfortunately, there is no set time limit as when you'll feel better. The best thing you can do is to make sure she's remembered and loved. Please know that you are in my thoughts.


Warm regards,
Fleming
