Hi LostNL
Welcome to our community. I am glad you found us. You will find members here understand the sadness and grief that come with the death of a parent. This is a good place to come, rest awhile and talk. It makes sense to me that those important moments surrounding your mother’s death are most clear in your mind. Those moments changed your life.
There is a sentence in the article Grief Work that says, “Your experience of grief will be unique. No one can tell you what the process will be or how long it will take. Grief takes as long as it takes.”
Having said that, there are times when people need help with grieving. That might be time off work, friends and family to talk to, professional help. Does your workplace offer counselling services?
On Shirley’s baby thread, Im am so lost! among others you will meet Jaindough, AdoptedSon, Sadson and JennJilks. If you post to this thread, they will be notified and I am sure respond to you.
Can you tell me a little more about your family and those who support you?
Katherine
