Marci Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi All, Just venting here. After my Mom passed 2/21/09 I had been so strong for my brother and father. All of sudden I seem to cry everyday and just can't stop. I need to function to work and am finding functioning to becoming an issue all though I keep the feelings at bay right now so not to lose total control. My therapist says its normal to cry like that and go through all kinds of emotions. I am angry one minute sad the next. The missing her and knowing that I have to face each day without her is just so horrible to me. Just venting.... Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Marci, sounds like your grief is catching up with you. It usually does feel big when you have been trying to be strong so long. Hope you get a lot of it out and start having some "fond memory" days. Glad you have a therapist to help you with this.

Ann Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 It sounds as if your strong shoulders have been holding everyone else in your family up since your mom passed. Now, it's your turn to grieve, which is completely natural. For me, realizing the finality of my husband's death was the hardest part. I felt I had to be strong for my children and his parents all during his treatment and then, when we lost him, it all hit home for me. The best "medicine" I had was a best friend that's a really good listener. The love and support she gave me in the months following my loss was incredible. Having someone to talk to and just getting it all off your chest always seems to help. Please let us know if you need us to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa0323 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wow Marci, I feel like I could have written your post down to every single word. I lost my mom on 2/17/09 and I've been "functioning" because I HAVE to, but I am deeply depressed and mad. My heart goes out to you ...

dchurchi Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Marci, Crying is healing. It will be one year this month since I lost Alan, and the tear storms still come fast and hard. I am sending you a very big hug. (((Marci))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marci Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I love all you guys so much, I can't tell you where I would be right now if it wasn't for all the support here. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I pray for all of you and continue to rally for those fighting the fight. This site seems to make the journey more manageable in a way. I love you all and will continue to hold all of you in my prayers daily. Thanks for the support ALWAYS- Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trawna Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (((Marci))) ... and (((Alyssa))) too! I get it .. did the same thing for three weeks after my husband died, for the sake of the rest of the family. and then everything just came apart and I cried for three days straight! Glad you have a therapist to help you through this, Marci. You may also want to see a family doctor. He gave me an anti-depressant which really helped (after about a week - it takes time to take effect). and I am now at least semi-functional. And venting really helps, too! So don't hesitate to do so here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
