I could really use my parents right now

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

I'm 42 and you'd think I would have gotten over it. My life just sucks right now.

My mom died when I was 9 so I don't remember her as a person; she was "mommy." She was a compassionate, loving person. I miss that.

I grew very close to my dad after my mom died. He was so cool, so understanding. He was a great person.

I know I've prattled on about this for years on the board. I'm going through a rough patch and I wish I had them here. My dad died when I was 20 and I had to figure out life by myself.

I'm not doing a good job at all right now.

I'm sorry.

I seriously need to call my Mom now.:glurps:

Lots of tough times right now, you just have to keep your chin up. I am actually in a bad spot right now too, I just try to get up every day and do it. Try to enjoy the small things, they may pale in comparison to the heavy stuff, but a pretty day can make everything feel just a little bit better. And a good laugh doesn't hurt either.

:bye: just a little hope for you from a complete stranger.

have you considerd prayer? if you struggle w/ the concept of a higher power... plug into meditiation. the act of quieting the mind enough listen for the little voice inside.
a list of spiritual principals ? dont focus on them all at once, just 1 to 3 a day.
coffee confesional - buy a stranger a cup of coffee and just dump everthing - they may think your strange; but this is about you.
... and just give yourself a break , and BREATH

folks really don't understand what its like to not have a parent or parents around...

my wife has both and takes them both for granted...I warn her everyday that she's gonna learn to regret it.

Im really really sorry

My father lost his dad 8/23/95 and honestly hasnt been the same since, and I never want to know pain like that.

The only wine fueled advice I can possibly give, is embrace any family and loved/trusted ones or start your klan.

Nothing ever makes losing someone easier, but babies laughing and running around always helps any bad situation.

Remember that you have all of us.

[Death Metal Moe]

Just for the record I think you're doing quite well for yourself. But I may be biased.

Sometimes this place can be SUCH a fluster cluck of personalities! It's so nice when people come together!

Thank you all for your kindness. Sometimes shit happens and I miss my mommy and daddy! ::stamps her Buster Browns!!::

It's nice to have a place to voice it and know you'll be understood.

And to those of you who have lost a parent or both: we're all in this together and doing our best. Our parents wanted nothing but the best for us. Some days are easier than most.

I hear ya. I lost my dad in 2004 shortly after my wedding and my mom in 2007. There are still times where I just wish they were here for advice or when things seem to get overwhelming

[Aggie]

I don't really know what to say but hang in there, fuzzy. ::BIG HUG::

Try to use your longing for them to motivate yourself or pick yourself up out of tough situations. I like to think, as childish as it might seem, that even though I don't know where we go when we die the deceased never loses their memories, so your bringing great joy to loved ones who aren't here in the phyiscal. Alot of us are going through though times but at least were going through it together and thats cool, I wish I had an apple to bite on.
