Lost my baby and my mother this year, to say it’s been a struggle is an understatement
My husband and I finally got pregnant for the first time this year after ttc for a few years and unfortunately we lost the baby in the first trimester. That destroyed us and we were learning to cope and grieve and move forward. About a month and a half later I lost my mother after 5 years of battling cancer complications, started out as breast cancer, then rectal cancer that was treated but sadly metastasized to her lungs. She passed at home with hospice. I have never posted on Reddit and I’m just trying something out because I can use all the advice or support from anyone who has gone through something similar. She was my best friend and thinking of the fact that she will never see me be a mother or that we won’t ever be able to talk on the phone, shop, or cook together again kills me. It has only been a little more than a month and I can imagine time will help but I feel as if a part of me went with her when she passed. These losses were practically back to back and I have never gone through something so traumatic.
