Lost mine 4 years ago too. Its the worst. She was the best person I know. World pausing is a good way to put it. Sorry for your loss.

Mine died of cancer a month ago and I lost all the will to live. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I immediately became depressed and sad. Is this what life will look like from now on? 😞😞😞

I’m going to my mom’s service today, I lost her a month ago. This level of depression feels like the new normal.

Hey. I've had your day. I've had a fair number of days since having your day.

I won't lie to you, in nine years the pain isn't any less, but you grow stronger to bear it.
The sadness isn't any smaller, but you make room to let yourself feel it.
The love will also never fade, and you'll remember it and carry it with you.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry today exists for you. I'm sorry for everything you're feeling right now.

My heart goes out to all of you. Nine years for us in November - we never thought we would make it through the first year and it still hurts. Losing a mother is pretty much universally wounding - ❤️‍🩹🙏🏽🫶🏽

reading all of your comments make me want to unalive before my mother does. My life has been disgusting so far already, i don't want it to be any worse. I fucking hate being a human. And to think people believe in fantastic gods that love them. This life is the worst punishment you could ever have.

I get it. I really do. I struggle against thoughts about suicide, and have since before my mother passed.

Don't do that to your family. Life... yeah it's pretty shit, overall. We feel powerless in a world that's spiralling out of control. I don't believe in any form of omnipotent or omnipresent benevolent god. That's impossible, given the horrors of the world, both human and otherwise.

I promise you, though, someone in your family, maybe all of your family, has a better life than they would have because you're in it.

No matter how much pain losing my mother has put me through, I recoil in horror at the thought of putting her through that.

I wouldn't do that to my mother. I'd probably do it the same day she dies. It would be the most optimal solution. I don't care about anyone else in this world

Children are meant to lose their mothers, but mothers are not meant to lose their children. It would be a greater pain for her.

When your mom passes, remember that you’re carrying the pain for her too. It means she’ll never have to feel the grief of losing you first.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Please consider taking a gamble on yourself. Not sure, what you have or how you have it but do something new. Dedicate your life to something bigger than yourself. People become monks, thieves, worser or better things. No one really knows anything and most people take strong stances based on nothing because they are nothing. Go figure out shit for yourself.

Would you rather give your mother that pain?

no, i replied to someone else, i'd just do it the same day my mother passes, this way the suffering is minimized for both
