I am determine to keep it together--so to say, and be reasonable about things. Please let me know how things are going with you? Blessings--

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMom died at 82 of colon cancer on July 29, 2008. Doc was treating her for constipation and was getting worse. I traveled across country to be with her. Took her to doc and then hospital. They put in GI tube and set about diagnosing. After one week they confirmed colon cancer and had spread. Next day surgery to bypass colon tumor. After 9 days her GI functions did not restart. That was all they could do so they sent er home for hospice. She passed away 32 hours after arriving home.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I'm a guy and its tough to cry. Reading posts and responding helps me as much as others. It seems to be helping.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- Did both group (through hospice) and private counselor. Seems to be helping but its a slow road.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- Keeping busy is mainly a distraction. It allows me to grieve at a slower pace.
- Reading Working / Worked
- "Grieving the Death of a Mother", "When Parents Die", plan to buy others.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I write about her in a journal, on-line. Counselor suggested writing letters to her.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Yes. Friends help. One friend has experience with counseling and has lost both his parents. Also just spending more time with friends in general. Human contact helps healing.
Close Loneliness
Lost my Mom to cancer recently. I've been a workaholic for many years. I have a few good friends but never been the popular sort. I guess I was borderline before but Mom's death has realy made me feel lonely.
