This is a mental health post... just here to empty my heart out... Few years ago, we lost our father. It was a long ailment, we were glad that he was out of his misery. But that created a hole in our lives we didn't expect. Specially my mom... she loved her husband... until his last day she stood by his side as he went through weekly hell of dialysis. Nursed him back each time. Every time I'd visit my parents, I'd admire her strength, courage and resolve. I felt bad for my dad, but felt bad for my mom too, who had given up her life to take care of the man she loved. When dad passed, I thought mom would feel free, but the opposite happened.. she felt lost.. she didn't know what to do with her time... we, her children, tried to make sure she wasn't alone.. but it didn't matter.. we had kids, thought it would distract her, but barely.. she keeps reminiscing about old days and the things they did.. I tried getting her back into one of her hobbies, but that didn't help either. Today, while all of us were gathered to celebrate buying our new home, she was so overwhelmed with joy that she collapsed. The thing is, we always lived in a rented apartment. My father tried very hard all his life, but couldn't fulfill his dreams so that we could fulfill ours. Doctor said, she just had a mild cardiac episode. I am laying besides her, while she sleeps I am unable to. I worry that something might happen.. the only thing that reassures me is her snoring. It's music to my ears... I personally have yet not recovered from the loss of my father, but can't tell anyone as ppl rely on me. If they knew what turmoil I was going through, it might break them. Am just running on fumes at this point, I cannot lose my mother. Don't know what I'd do without her...
At first I thought it’s really a problem related to snoring!
Try your very best to keep your mom distracted. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t win. Keep doing the right thing.
Power to you OP. Hope she gets better soon!
You've showed strong character and stood by your family when they needed you. Stay strong for the future, you seem like a good person, so God will support you with his blessings in the future.
Stay strong OP. I sometimes get the same anxiety. Wishing you tons of happiness
You need to see a mental health professional. Your family should get grief counseling. Your employer may already have mental health counseling facilities. If so, use those. Don't let your mental health issues fester. Treat them like you would treat a physical health issue .
Stay the course… fight the fight. Live upto your childhood hero and go beyond and show some zeal towards life to your kids. We often forget, what our parents mean to us and we are the same to our kids.
Sending you love ❤️ she’ll do great! You’re a great son and your father will be proud of you!
Be strong op. Enjoy the current moments with your mother. Looks like you were deeply connected with your dad as well. They must be proud of you 😊
Stay strong OP. My heart goes out to you and your family
