• 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.

Im still grieving I think I lost my nan end of August last year, miss her a lot and I think im grieving the mother I never had.

If your nan died in August last year, it is far too early to think of being over the grief from that. Clearly you were very close, so that means you might have to think in the same number of years rather than months on this one.

Grief is natural, and it shows that your nan was deeply loved. Although it is very painful, it is also very special; holy. We will all be grieved by a very select few special people to us; they are the friends and relations who are worth their weight in gold, and more. Try not to regret being such a special person to your nan, and her to you. In time it will be easier to remember the good times, without so much pain, but the pain will never go away completely, because your love for your nan will never go away.

I wish you well. Be good to yourself at this time; treat yourself as your nan would want you to.

My mom passed in June of 2008 - I still miss her and grieve for her. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever feel right again.

So I am praying for you.

It will feel better, in time, but it will never feel right. Be grateful for that; if it were ever to feel right that would mean you had forgotten your mother's love.

Praying for you, NG.
