When my dad called at 4am to tell me my mom had died. I screamed like I’ve never screamed before.

My mother was in my arms as she died from cancer. I got to recite the Benediction for her and to sing her the lullabyes and family songs we sang at bedtime when I was a baby. She died in peace. I do not grieve. I knew she had gone to the next great mystery.
She has visited me, with my Dad, in dreams and visions. It has been beautiful. Death is not the end, but the beginning of everlasting life.
See you down the road, Mom...

I was 7 months pregnant with my first and only child, and my father was over. Its was around 9 am, Let me add my parents haven't been together in 33 years. I'm 35 but he came into the room and told me my mother had passed away there's nothing to describe that moment I was angry I was sad I was scared I was shocked i was in disbelief I was confused I was heartbroken it's just something I even still look back on and it doesn't seem real😢 the police had called the house phone for some reason they hadnt tried to contact me through my cell phone and my dad just happened to answer the phone so I can't imagine how tough it had to be for him to have to come and tell his 7-month pregnant daughter that her mother just passed away who was also his daughter's best friend😢 nothing can prepare you for the moment you find out that your parent has passed ! Sending love and condolences to anyone whos expirenced or to experience this 🥰❤❤

Quick edit : my mother's passing was very sudden and unexpected we had spoke literally a little over 24 hours before that but with heart situations you don't always get a warning😢

One of the worst moments of anyone’s life!! No matter what stage of life you are in, losing a parent is like losing a part of you; you’re foundation in life; of course I understand it is different for everyone, because not everyone had the proper nurturing from their parents, but if a parent played a significant role throughout your life, the grief can be devastating.

I lost my Dad in March. I relate to it being surreal. I didnt ugly cry for weeks. I withdrew from people. I didnt even talk to my partner with whom i share a home. Im a recovering alcoholic, 7 years sober. I always expected to relapse when i lost parent. Im so grateful i met w a spirtual healer a few years back. She was able to show me we never truly die. That time with her changed how i would live my life. Im at peace w mortality now. I didnt have to drink. And i take dad w me everwhere i go now. I have faith he is with me. My soul dogs, too. Still hurts like crazy. But im okay. Grief is weird.

When my father died from cancer is was the hardest moment of my life. I was is power of attorney making all the decisions even thou my mother was alive she couldn’t do it she said along with my other 6 siblings! So I was the strong one I made the decisions! When he died the pent up emotions came out all at once I couldn’t believe the raw emotions it sounded like a wounded animal my oldest brother walked up wrapped his arms tightly around me! Once I felt that security from him I was able to calm down! My younger brother told me later it had scared him he didn’t know what to do and was thankful for my older brother! We need a support system even the strong ones!!

When you lose a parent, you literally lose half of yourself.
When I lost my Dad someone told me that when you lose your Father you become an adult, and when you lose your Mother you become an orphan. That notion has been stuck in my head ever since. Hold on to and appreciate those you still have because someday we’ll all be orphans.

Yep, we found our mom who had passed away alone at home..

I felt the same way and then grief kicks in

[Blackfox_Kitsune]

that moment is not grief that is shock grief kicks in a little while after. Both things need to be ackloawge because so many folks feel guilty and ashamed because of those first shock reactions, and they shouldn't be, it's just shock and logic trying to work out what's going on, it dosn't seem real, and this can last for a day or two sometimes longer, and the longer this stage takes the harder and longer grief will be. so people please let yourself just feel what is going on, let it flow, let it process, and when grief hits don't try to fight, let yourself feel that and let yourself move though is stages. If you are struggling reach out to a grief counsellor you don't have to go it alone.
