I was 17 when I lost my mom. She was literally everything to me, on my bad days she would give me the best advise, on my good days she would join me. She had always had heart problems but in her eyes that would never stop her. When I was a kid and my parents explained to me why she was in the hospital all the time. I started to try to get use of almost losing my mom. When she was gone I don’t think I could’ve ever prepare of all the emotions that came with it. 
 

It was just like any Saturday. I had to go to work and my room in the house got no lighting from the sun so she wanted to take a nap in there and because I had to work it was no problem. I left around noon and told her “goodbye I love you”. And then three hours into working my oldest sister called my work to talk to my manager and she wouldn’t tell me why. I also worked with my second oldest sister so both of us were there. Her and I both knew something was off when our sister called and didn’t say anything to us. From that exact moment I knew I for sure knew and when I left work and went straight home everyone was there and she was gone. 
 

anyways I wanted to share my story because I want to seek help and talk to someone but I’m having a hard time trying to find someone.

I'm sorry for your loss. I just found this forum today and the people on it provide very helpful advice. Please continue to share your story if it helps you. Speaking with your sisters and family about how you or they feel may also help. It is a very young age to lose a parent. Regardless of age, I believe we are all going through the same emotions.

@Chloe just I am so sorry for your loss, my own mom passed nearly six years ago but she was in her 90s, had dementia and it was her time.  It's harder, I think, when they're younger and suddenly die, it leaves no chance for you to begin to adjust or expect it.  I'd encourage you to get some grief counseling and try a grief support group when you feel ready.

@mikepa  Thank you for chiming in here.  You don't give specifics about your loss, but I also wish you the best going forward.
