Dealing with loss
My mom is in her mid-70s. She survived a lot that should’ve killed her a long time ago. That said she’s my best friend and I know time is limited. Long story short how do you deal with the lost of a loved one
Also I am an only child and my parents are divorced and don’t talk
Hello. You can never be prepared enough with losing someone. The grief that comes with it is unimaginable. The pain will be in your heart for a very long time. But time heals pain (or helps you forget the pain). Getting a grief therapist helps.
When my father passed away suddenly, I cried every night. An understanding friend called me every night for a few weeks (I can't remember how long) just to listen to me telling her the same thing that I really missed him. It's the most painful pain I've ever experienced in my life.
The pain remained for at least 1.5 years.

Everyone's grief process is different .... i have several neighbors who are elderly and i imagine each time i do not see them for a couple of days they may be gone it is an awful way to worry abut it.
my mom passed a few years ago not an only child but close as siblings do not even talk ....
i thought it was ok but hit hard about a year later .......you really cannot prepare as it will hit you like a ton of bricks eventually the best you can do is understand that death is part of life and something we all face.
