I know your post is from a few years ago, but I came across it just now and feel like I can finally relate to someone. I’m only 21 years old too and my mom passed away from cancer almost three months ago. She was my best friend, and it doesn’t feel right that she’s not here anymore. It feels like the more time passes by the harder it gets for me because it’s like really setting in that she’s gone. I’ve never experienced death before, and to lose someone who is so significant in my life has been pretty unbearable. I’ve had friends/family who have lost a parent let me know that they are there for me, but they are not the same age group. I feel like it’s worse being so young, knowing there are going to be many instances I’ll need my mom still. I’m not sure if you’ll reply, but I was just wondering, does it get any easier? Do you have any advice on what has helped you be okay?
