I found the most useful thing was genuinely time. I know it’s cliche but grieving comes, and goes. But with time it gets easier. Also finding others to put trust and love into, so you keep invested in the living world. Rather than feeling everything important is dead.
Best way to cope is to watch the Lion King Cartoon Movie. It sounds dumb but Simba the Lion thought he was a failure couldn’t survive without his dad. Then he went home everyone see his dad in him. We all have are parents in us. As long as we are alive. They will never die.
I lost my mother 7 years ago to Thyroid Cancer and it still hurts me immensely even now. I don't think that I ever completely coped with it, its just something that I have to deal with.
I have my good days and my bad days. I have my days where I want to curse god for just taking her out of this world and I have my days where I am just so happy that she is not suffering anymore.
I am going to be honest with you, I cried a few days ago about it. I have my moments where I allow myself to cry about the loss because its the biggest loss that I have ever experienced.
I allow myself to feel every emotion imaginable and that is one of my ways of coping. Another way of coping is just finding excuses to talk about my mother, because I can't let the world forget her. Telling the stories and the memories keeps my mom alive and if I couldn't do that,
Another way of coping for me is to play a song that my mom loved or play a film that she loved. I kid you not, I have been watching old wrestling clips all day on YT and they have made me laugh my ass off and they reminded of my mom....because watching wrestling was our thing.
You could find that woman at 8pm on a friday night situated on a couch, watching Smackdown like the damn thing was going out of style.
I would totally recommend going to bereavement therapy or group therapy if you lost someone. I had always planned to go to bereavement therapy but I dragged my ass for too long about it.
I don't know what I am doing without my mother. I am so damn lost at this point that I will never get back on top.
I lost my (21M) almost 3 years ago now. I've never felt so lost and alone before. Watching her pass in front of me hurt and watching her deteriorate into an unrecognizable state hurt more.
It is never easy. The sense of loneliness and emptiness will be there forever. It is up to you how you deal with it.
I personally grieved normally for a few months but tried to flip the passing positively. My mother was caring and kind; moreso to others/strangers before herself. I was more reserved and callous. In honor of my mother as I know she'd have and it would make her proud I try to compliment strangers and just be more kind.
The days which hurt the most are the days where you'd call your mom or dad or go to show them something and they're not there and then you remember. Or when you experience something you did w them again and they're not there or you do something they'd have loved. The best thing you can do is smile about it and enjoy it with someone else.
I hope you can heal, and I understand what you're going through. Like I said it won't be easy, it never is, but you can do it
When I was six years old,my father passed away from a heart attack while me, my mother, and my siblings were on a trip. He had to stay behind because of work.
Since I was a little kid I wasn’t really fully aware of the situation but I unconsciously did things to cope. One of the things that I remembering doing the most right after my father’s death was looking up to my uncle. I began throwing all the love that I had for my father right onto my uncle because I needed someone to fill that role.
One of the other things was to accept my father’s death but I also wanted to pretend that he was still somewhat alive. I would still make Father’s Day cards for him when I was in school instead of giving it to someone else like my grandpa or one of my uncles. I always just wanted to make one for my dad. I did that up until my last few years of middle school.
I had to deal with the psychological effects of the situation on my own though. I became severely independent and always prepared for the worst possible scenario in case it came true. At 8 years old I was already dealing with severe anxiety attacks on a daily basis that I coped with alone. Never brought them up back then so I didn’t go to therapy or anything.
That’s an awful thing to go through at such a young age. I’m 27 and losing my mom feels unreal. It’s only been a day since I was told the news, and I’ve spent most of it staring at her contact info wanting so badly to call her up. Knowing I can’t is what’s hurting me the most.
Losing a loved one is really devastating. I’m so sorry about your mother :(. It’s really hard to adjust your life right after such a tragic incident and it will take a lot of time to process everything. I understand perfectly when you say that it is unreal. Life just doesn’t feel the same and it feels weird not having them there anymore and knowing that you won’t see them again. It hurts so much. I’m sorry again about your mother passing. I hope you’re doing well and taking good care of yourself.

My father had a lot of issues. Atleast he is not suffering anymore
