Feel so hopeless

I am not sure where to start. Normally new year gives me a new me type thinking with hope. I feel hopeless. My mom died Nov 28th somehow I made it through holidays numb but I made it! I am single mom after dealing with my mom's dealth her place, affairs, services, etc. I then had my lease moving and had to move myself. So new years Eve I moved. By the night I felt so sick and tired. I was alone sitting in my new place surrounded by boxes listening to everyone outside enjoy themself with talking, fireworks, etc. I simply don't feel right. I don't know.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's an extremely difficult time to lose a family member, keep the smile on for others and to move. Lots and lots of stress. Give a call to the crisis center. Talking to someone will be important for you and your family. It takes a while to heal. Talk to other people you trust. And share here. Don't keep it inside.

Grief is such a painful emotion, it does pass, the first few days was the worse, the next few months I was greatly disturbed, then I got calmer, then I forgot about it most of the time. Now I only cry if I "go there" and know that if I do that then I immediatey just need to change the subject.
It hurts to lose a loved one, I don't know if you can ever think about the loss and feel ok about it.

Maybe others have different experience, but basically I'm "over it" so to say and just carry on life as normal
