Thanks Paulie-I'm new to this forum have been posting on the grief/loss page. Been dealing with my mom's disease since I was 16 or so. I'm 33 now. She recovered for seven yrs. and so I 'm not new to ACoA. Went to Al-anon for awhile but wanted to get help for her and not me. Then, I didn't know what it was all about but now see it's important to help myself too. I miss her beyond words- today has been hard.
Just got back from a vacation in California and it seems I'm right back in my grief. The time zone change has zapped my energy and I forgot to take my meds. So depression is at it's full today. I think I'm so lost that I just needed to post here as well - to express my loss and pain. Life is so unfair - I was blessed by having such a wonderful devoted mother. We both (my mother and I) didn't know it had reached this stage and I didn't get to say goodbye. Instead I had to call 911 and was told by her neighbor that she had passed. She was my world -
lovetoall
