I Have Lost People I Love From Cancer

My mother died almost 18 months ago. I think losing her really did something to me. I don鈥檛 cope as well with problems as I did before. I used to be stronger and braver. Now it鈥檚 hard for me to imagine any good things happening in my future.

Everything is scarier after your mother dies.

You probably agree that your mom always wanted you to have a good life...this past January made 10 years that mine passed. I can still hear her voice, and I know I will see her again...

Yes, you're right about that.
I lost my mother to cancer almost three years ago and I'm still having trouble dealing with it..

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I'm really sorry. My mother has gone through something similar. There are no words. But I hope you at least know that your feelings are valid and normal.

I鈥檓 so very sorry for your loss. Death, but certain deaths in particular, can make us feel incredibly vulnerable.

You will go back to being strong and brave, but for now, you are still grieving and trying to get over a tremendous loss. Even though losing a mother deeply changes us, you will find the strength and the courage to go back to being strong in all the love she gave you.

Indeed, everything changes. I hope you have a sister, aunt or friend that supports you and helps fill that void. 馃挏

I think its traumatic experience and loss in general, Kat. With each trauma (and you and I have experienced enough as it is) tearing us down a little bit more, so that our resolve and inner strength diminishes over time. The human psyche and nervous system can only take so much before its exhausted.
It鈥檚 almost 2-years for me, after losing my H, and I still miss him. I am a changed person both cognitively and how much I can bear. I can鈥檛 deal with things I used to be able to without feeling overwhelmed, and yes, scared. I鈥檓 a shadow of the woman I used to be, and I haven鈥檛 seen a future for a long time.
You are still grieving, and after everything else you have endured, it鈥檚 no wonder you feel this way. I feel the same.
Love and hugs, Kat. 馃挄馃檹
