My parents never got to meet my baby
My mom passed in 2021, and my dad passed last year, one month before I had my baby. Has anyone else out there had to face motherhood/parenthood parentless? How do you do it? I don't have much help, not a lot of family left or any that lives nearby. My in laws live in another country. I also have chronic pain due to a disability I was born with so I'm stuck in my bedroom all day everyday with my 4 month old. It gets lonely and frustrating. And sad. My kid is so cute and growing faster than I can keep up with. But I thought I would be enjoying this time of my life more. I always wanted to be a mom. I'm scared I'll regret not being happier while he's this small.
I'm sorry you're going thru this. My dad passed away a year before the birth of my youngest, my only daughter. My mom only met her a few times. Then my mom passed away when she 3 months old. I only have 1 picture of them together. So I can relate to what you're going thru. Moments are bittersweet. Loving the moment but feeling like you shouldn't be happy bc they aren't here. I don't have many family members. I did it pretty much alone. It can be tough at times but it gets better.
I tell my kids all about my parents. I taught my kids my dad's magic tricks. I share my moms cooking with them. Sing songs to him from your childhood. Try to incorporate your memories of your parents into things you enjoy doing with your son. You can do this momma! 💪🤗
