My supportive living person that see me weekly, mother has died. She talked about it in the last few weeks and she knew she would not live much longer. She was fighting cancer for 2 years and was in a nursing home. I found out because she was suppose to meet with me today and did not show up. I can go without her for some time, but i feel so bad about her mother. I feel so hurt, almost like it is my mother, but i never meet her. How do i deal with her loss? It hurts me so bad...

Do the best you can. Keep the truth there for yourself, this is about your SLPs mom, not yours.

However, some of your sadness could be from your "knowing" that you, too, will probably lose your mom one day. Think about what you would like to do and say with her now, before it's too late. Listen to the conversations your SLP and you have, and see if she has any regrets or affirmations of what she did or didn't say or do.

I think you're already doing some of this.

You must be close to your SLP. I know that sometimes I hurt when a friend loses their loved one. For me expressing my feelings for my friends/SLP loss, honor's my feelings and theirs. I like to write a letter or buy just the right card. Its been my experience that people really appreciate others reaching out to them during a time of loss. You know what to do.

It takes time to heal. I lost my mom, too & it drove me to deep depression but I am hopeful that time will heal.
