Parent Loss / My mom
« on: April 23, 2016, 08:39:14 AM »
My mom passed away on December 16, 2014.  She was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer September 5 of that year, which was a complete surprise to everyone.  After the initial surgery, she went to a rehab center, and I thought she was doing so well.  Then her kidneys failed, and they could not even do chemo.  When she took her last breath, I was alone with her. 

 I just can't seem to cope.  Nothing helps, not psychologists, not hospice grief groups, not the anti-depressants I am on.   My friends are tired of hearing about my grief, and my dad, the only family I have left, is inconsolable, too.   I miss my mom so much.  I took it for granted that she would be around for at least another 10 years, and now she is gone. 

I was raised Catholic, but every day I wake up and think....what if there is no heaven?  What if this life is all a big joke and there is no point?

People keep saying that it gets easier with time, but it is actually becoming more difficult for me.
