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.
May I ask how old your mother was?
I've lost both parents, in the last 2 years, and it still hurts a bit.
I'm not going to say it gets better, just that it gets different and less painful. Kind of like a new normal. You will find your new normal, but it will take time. I am still defining my new normal, but it has taken a lot of shape now, and my old joys (family, friends, activities, ... ) have come back. Some are "better" than before, others not. Mostly it is just different; my new normal.
Please consider joining the Bereavement group. The people there have helped me through some hard times, some dark moments, we all have our losses from which we can share experiences.
