hi i am 19yrs old, my mum passed away on the 28 May 1997, when i was 10. She died of leukaemia which she was diagnosed with when i was 7. It feels like that is the age i lost her since she spent most of those 3yrs in a hospital in a different city. I dont remember hardly anything at all about her I have 2 brothers, so have grown up being the only girl in my family. We dont ever really talk about her. But both my brothers and my dad have seemed to have grieved and moved on. I havent. And have no idea how to. Am going to uni away from home, and feel very much alone. I am suffering from depression and have seen various uni counsellors all of whom i find uncomfortable and they havent helped at all. Losing my mum isnt the only reason im depressed but it is a very large part. I miss my mum but i know she wouldn't want me to be like this. I know other people who have lost someone alot more recent and they are finer then me. What is wrong with me? why cant i move on and stop being over emotional all the time? how does a person grieve? can anyone help me? also how much did mothers day suck!
