My mom’s fiancé died last night. I didn’t care for him (and I really tried). Her grief is breaking my heart. It’s hard to watch a loved one suffer. She has lost 2 close friends in the past 6 months in addition and she seems lost right now. Doing my best to provide comfort and keep her busy.

Sending big hugs to everyone who is struggling.
You and your mom are in my thoughts.

Take care of yourself, ok? It’s great that you’re so supportive, but I know firsthand that she’ll need to go through the grieving process...you can’t do that for her. Just being there will help her a lot. It’s hard to see loved ones in pain. Sometimes I’ve wanted to take that pain away from them and shoulder it myself...it’s not possible, but I understand.

PM me if you need support. I’ve been on both sides of the fence. My stepdad had a terrible time when my mom died. He was heartbroken for a long time. Now I’m grieving his death.

Here for you.
Hugs from:

Thanks for this!
