Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I recently lost my mom to cancer and have been having a tough time dealing with it. Guess thats why I joined this site. Have been seing a counselor and it's going well, but still tough times. Some days are better then others no doubt.
I am glad you have come to us for support. We are not experts, but there are tons of sincerity here.
Be sure you are able to talk to someone about your departed Mother .. a church 'person', therapist, friend, US, ... there is a LOT of 'spirituality' involved ... and the wisdom older people hold will be a lot of help to you.
God bless you .. and your family. He has already blessed your Mother.
Please know that there are quite a few people here that have lost parents ( I've lost both) and can absolutely relate to what you are dealing with.
Grieve, cry, write, etc... Continue to reach out for support.
You're in my thoughts.
It was very difficult for me, I'm only just now properly grieving. She was one of my best friends. I miss having that parental figure in my life to give me advice, listen to my worries and fears.
I'm glad you are doing counseling - it will be a great help as you navigate through the coming grief. My word of advice, let it out. Let it all out. The good and the bad. The sadness and the anger. It's all perfectly natural. I wish you the best in this difficult time.
