  1. Thank you for replying. It is nice to read some friendly words. I guess you never really know heavy something is until you put it down. I never realized the tremendous burden of what I've been carrying around with me. I learned early to care for myself emotionally and phsyically and I've just been doing it. Without thought to options or choices. Now that I stop and think about putting the weight down I feel so overwhelmed. I feel like I don't know who I am if I don't preface it with 'my mother died when I was six but please don't apologize.' I think overwhelming is the best word I have...I don't know where to go next...any ideas?
  2. It has been 25 years since my mother died. She died when I was six. My parents separated when I was three and I had been living with my mother. After she died I went to live with my father. I believe he tried to do what he thought was best. Instead of mourning we pretended that nothing happened. We put away pictures and didn't talk about it. We even got a new mother. She was there on my first day living in his house. Here I am 25 years later and I want to start my grief journey. I don't really know what that means except that I have a lot of work to do. And I'm not sure how I'm going to get it all done. It seems overwhelming. Maybe that's why it has taken so long to start. Thanks for listening. I hope this site will be a good resource on my journey.
