I have a son who is 2 and a daughter who is 7 months. My mom died when I was 17 I am now 25 but I have probably gone through the rollercoaster ride of coping as I am sure you have.



I would never wish the death of a parent on anyone and if I could have one thing back it would be my mom...that said to see the positive out of the negative, I also feel blessed. Aside from all the obvious negative that came along with her death I have had a lot of positive things happen as a result. I appreciate life SO MUCH more and live every day to the fullest. I love deeper and am more present with friends and family. I have more patients with my kids because I do not take the moments I have with them for granted. I realize that my mood is a choice, I have to chose to be happy. I learned who my true friends are and who would be there for me no matter what. I saw how many people loved me and cared about me. I learned that I am a lot stronger than I thought. I have learned not to stress about things in life...they could always be worse. The list goes on and on but I make a choice daily to laugh, love, and remember all the good times I had with her and appreciate the time I did get to have with her.



I am sorry for your loss I can't imagine what a rough time you must have had and still have coping with it. If you ever want to chat or need any advice I am here and would be happy to.

Hey everybody, just wanted to see if there are any moms in my situation...I am 21 and have a 2 year old son, Brayden. Both of my parents passed away when I was young, my mom when I was 7 and my dad when I was 17. It has been a rough path, my son will never get to meet his grandparents and it hurts me everyday to know that. Any one in the same boat? It is also hard to not be able to ask for help and get advice I often feel very alone. Thanks for any input!
