My mother died last week and ever since her funeral yesterday, I have no desire to do anything. I've been on my bed for the past 15+ hours (only leaving for the bathroom) and I just don't want to leave. I really hate my life right now. I don't want to go out and see people only to be constantly reminded about what happened with their "I'm sorry for your loss" and other words like that. I just don't want to see anyone or do anything anymore. Just sit here and wallow in my own depression.

I'm sorry for your mother. My grandmother died a few months, and in some way I could have impeded it. I feel very guilty at times. I hope you get well and continue your life.

Just let your emotions take over. It is normal to feel grief and depression resulting from the loss of a loved one. When my grandfather died my mom was depressed for a long period of time, around three months or so. And even a year later when she saw the elderly having it tough it would just remind her of her Dad and she would cry, a lot. I didn't actually know my grandpa at all, I've never met him.To me, he was a stranger, a nobody.After he died, seeing my mother very emotional and in tears made me think much about how I would react if either of my parents died before I would, it's just...Even just thinking about it is hard.

Its a hard time. That's for sure. Your pretty tough believe it or not. I don't know what I would do in your situation. Stay strong. It will become better. If you ever need to talk the dollars are here.

i know how you feel i got so depressed when my grandfather died he was closer to me than my parents but you need to go out and see the people even if they will remind you about what happened and that would hurt you but but they will keep reminding you about it anyway when they see you later so now is better and in the end of the day cry as much as you can in your room dont hold anything inside you, you might get depressed for along period of time but that will help you to accept what happened and continue move on.i hope that helped

feeling sad and depressed because losing someone we loved has passed away feels bad but what can we do? the dead people does not come back sadly and i know your feelings but we should learn from this to help others to make it easy for them to make them strong and help them stand up again , sharing this with us its a sign that YOU are a strong person and you should know this and work with . hope you feel better soon and be happy soon.

its not easy to lose someone so close to you, that's for sure, but your life must go on. its okay to have time to yourself to mourn (or wallow in your own depression), but you may find that it is no more or less gloomy to go out and do things, just normal things that need to be done (school, work, whatever it is for you). if you feel like there's a distance between you and reality, that's not unheard of and it's also okay. just bear with it, you're more durable than you feel, and time will help you come to terms with what you are feeling and how you want to react. until then, curl up in bed for comfort if you want, just make sure you keep living your life, too. this is the precious gift she gave to you, and there will be a time when things interest you again, so keep yourself going however you must, and know that even if it is by hiding away in your room, or by going through the motions of school/work, you are slowly healing yourself and it takees time, so don't rush it. just keep going.

Thanks guys. Recently I have stepped out and have begun doing what I love again and it feels great. I'll never get over her death, but I need to move on. She wants me to be happy and so I will continue to live normally. Thanks a bunch guys. If I need anything, I know I have you guys to help me. Thank you.

Hey Lionheart,
all I can say is, that this will take time. It is truly hard losing someone so close to you. I signed on today to actually talk about a friend of mine who passed away 8 years today. He was like a brother to me and I thought it was some sick joke when I heard that he had died. But I just want to let you know it gets easier you never forget them but it gets easier. And just promise you'll take care of yourself. Sometimes during the grieving process you forget about yourself. Just take care okay?

Thanks guys. Lately I've been going along with my life as the happy person that my mom wants me to be. It's tough without her and I have to make adjustments around the house and just everyday life. I really thank you guys though for getting me through this. I know I'll always have you guys to talk to if/when things get rough. Thanks guys.

Glad you found some hope and a reason to keep you going strong :)
