Grief is Hard

Hi, I really don’t know how this app works. Im deeply longing for community that supports grieving moms with new babies. I lost my mom suddenly back in March when I was 6 months pregnant and my world has not been making sense since. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in January and kept it hidden for months until her hospitalization in March made everything come out. She passed a week later after I found out. I never got to properly grieve due to the fear and safety of my son and being pregnant at the time. Now that he is here I’m overjoyed with how happy and joyful my son is but another side of me is also devastated/angry/ sad and oftentimes feel very alone as I watch other news mommas being able to be supported by their mothers. Would love to connect with moms who have experienced the same. I miss my mom so much, most days I’m managing but lately it has been heavy.

My loss was no where near as recent as yours but I know exactly how your feeling being a new mom without that support. If you’d like someone to talk to you can message me and I’ll be happy to listen.

My mom passed away a month ago from stage 4 cancer and I’m 5 months pregnant. She was both mother and father to me because she was a single parent. She was my best friend. Most days are hard and I miss her so much! I hate that she won’t get to meet her first grandchild. I can empathize with you, especially being on this app and seeing all the support most women still have. I can’t help but feel really resentful. Like time and moments were stolen from my mom and child. I’m also experiencing the grief and worry that my baby can feel it. I’m available to message if you ever need to talk or vent.

Hi, I can relate. I lost my mum last year when my youngest child was 2 months old. Even now, 15 months later I am still struggling. The only advice I can give it to take each day as it comes. Celebrate your better days & be kind & to yourself on the bad. Trying to deal with grief & the settling of hormones after having a baby are hard enough on there but together it’s even harder. Be gentle on yourself x
