In reply to the discussion: About an hour ago my mom died. [View all]Blue_playwright
(1,568 posts)201. Sending some empathy and love
I lost my mom to a fast moving liver disease just six weeks ago. Im still in a complete daze and shock. I cry and grieve but at the same time its just not fully registering as real. As final. All advice I can give you is to take time to grieve. I lost my favorite aunt a couple weeks before my mom and between funerals, paperwork, thank you notes, organizing their things and helping to care for my dad - I havent had down time to process.
Make sure you stop some- and take care of you.
So sorry about the loss of your mom.
