hi, and thanks for the invite... said it might be monday before i posted here but i decided to just do it
anyway...
ive been caring for my mom for the last 15 years, she was in horrible health and horrible pain and it just kept getting worse... untill she passed away on april 1st... that day will never be the same for me
and now i dunno what to do with myself
i have a bad arm (shattered it 17 years ago, its basically useless now) and havent had a real job since... i got paid a little bit to help care for my mom and had learned to live within those means... but now thats gone too
im living with my dad and my brother and im not going to starve to death or anything, but im trying desperately to figure out how im going to keep my truck going till i find an income... im trying to get on disability but that could take a year or more, from what im told
its been 5 weeks and it feels like 5 minutes... the time has gone by in a blink and i dont know if its really even started to sink in that shes gone yet... still feels like a dream
yesterday we ordered a pizza for the first time since she passed... it was her favorite food and out of the blue it just hit me like a ton of bricks and it hurt... i really hope it doesnt ruin pizza forever for me, its my favorite too...
i dunno, just really not sure what to say, or do, or anything
*sigh*
hope youre all having good days

My mom passed after 13+ years of multiple health complications. I am just now (a year and a half later) starting to feel the reality of the loss. May you find comfort and also some peace of mind, while you rediscover yourself in the days, weeks, months and years to come.
Warmest wishes and gentle hugs.
and sorry for your loss
i wish i knew what else to say

One day at a time, one step at a time. My mantra for life.
Life changing is hard. Losing Mom, your routine that included her and sorting out your next steps are all biggies in my book.
Pleas keep sharing. The wonderful people here have helped me a lot.
