Lost my mom

I lost my mom a few weeks ago. At first I thought I was ok, but now I don;t know what to do. I don;t eat, hardly sleep etc. I get so angry I feel like I could seriously hurt someone. I don;t believe in talking to doctors nor going on meds. Is there anything I can do?

Dear Insp Gadget;

 

I am so sorry you lost your mom. Was it sudden? Were you close to your mom?

 

It's too bad that you don't believe in therapy, because it would help. There are all kinds and grief therapy is one.

 

If I can recommend another site, there is a grief and support board on WebMD that might be a good place for you to post and get support.

 

When my parents died, the grief came in waves. I would think it would be gone and then, like a wave that sneaks up behind you in the ocean, there would come one and it would crash over me, taking me by surprise and pulling up sadness and grief all over again. It eventually subsided as I went through the grief process. Now I am still sad they are gone, but I can miss them without pain.

 

I hope you will look into grief counselling, which is available in many places and can give you a support group to talk with and people to relate to who are having similar experiences.

 

Good luck and I'm so sorry for your loss and your grief.

Hi,

Here's the link. Or, go to WebMD, Board, Grief and Loss.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you still can't get to it, okay?

Hey Nanse,

I found that support group and created a message, however have received no replies. Oh well, thanks anyway for the info.....

Sounds good. I will wait a few days to see if I get any responses.

I actually feel pretty good this morning. The last 2 days were very hard. I felt so angry, but had no idea whya nd no outlet for that anger. I find that the hardest to deal with. I keep it bottled up and the stress builds to an unbearable level. I feel tense all over, unable to eat, sleep or relax. Can't concentrate etc.

I created a website in memory of my mother. You can have a look at it here: http://reta-berthelot.memory-of.com/about.aspx

I see you use Yahoo and AIM. I use MSn. Would have been nice if we could chat....
