I can't believe that tomorrow will be two weeks since my mom died and my whole world changed. I honestly don't know I'm even functioning as "well" as I have been. Just to say or write those words..."my mom died"...seem so surreal. I think that's why I'm coping right now, because I'm just numb. These 2 weeks, and the month prior, feel like years

my father was pretty much my primary caregiver as a child. he died more parenting in the years he was alive than my mother has her entire life. he died when i was 16 and he was 32.

it doesn't so much matter if your comparisons are unproductive and irrational. you have to do what you have to do. period.

*hugs*

Irrational and unproductive or not, they are valid for you in your grieving process so just go with them for now. Whatever helps you get through this and keep on keeping on, because that's probably what your mom would have wished for you... *hug*

We're all here for you. Nothing you are thinking about is really irrational. You need a way of letting out your grief and your way seems to be to compare your situation to others. That seems normal to me. You are lucky to have spent as much time as you did get with your Mom, but yet you can also be upset for wishing you had more time. Everyone grieves differently, so do whatever it is that you need to do.
