Motherless Children Support Group

This community focuses on children (of any age) who no longer have a mother in their lives, whether as a result of death or extended separation. A mother plays a crucial role in both early childhood development as well as support throughout one's life. How is your life affected by the lack of this integral relationship?

I recently lost my mom on March 6th. She was only 57 years old. She was my best friend. How do you cope not being able to talk to them anymore? Not asking them for advice, or tell them when you are excited or sad? I feel like I lost having anyone to talk to anymore.

Hi- My father passed away one month after he turned 54 and my Mom, a few days after she turned 70. I am the eldest of 6 in the family but I felt so alone and sad. I love them so much. It’s been years that they left us but I still cry whenever I miss them especially on special occasions.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Give yourself time to grieve. Cry whenever you need to. Surround yourself with people who will encourage and pray with you.

Praying for you that God will surround you with His peace and comfort as you go through this difficult time. I hope to hear from you again. God bless.

I'm so very sorry!!! I have gone thru what you are and it is devastating! Many years later I still wish I could talk with her and long to see her again. Show yourself grace, give yourself time, nothing can make it better right now, it just sucks really bad!!! I would say write a memoir of her and write letters to her about your accomplishments and questions. Also, maybe do some charity or donation in her name to honor her. It is all so recent and tragic it's just getting thru it all right now, breathe in peace and out stress and just grieve your loss of her. Be sure to take care of yourself in this so it doesn't take you under, take a good multi-vitamin and go for walks to work thru your sorrow and focus on the good memories. Again, I am so sorry!

I’m just so torn and lost that my feelings aren’t validated. My dad is telling me it’s time to get back out in the real world and go back to work etc. Am I wrong for not feeling like I am ready? That is how he is making me feel. I am hurt by this on top of the devastation already.
I have started grief counselling so it’s not like I haven’t started making the right steps forward already... it’s hurtful.
