Therapy is Helping Me Deal with the Loss of My Mother
Six months ago my mom passed away due to a cancer illness, and my life fell apart. My mom was my world. I don't have any brothers or sisters and the rest of my immediate relatives, live far away so mom was all I had growing up. When she died I didn't know who to turn to. I felt awkward trying to talk about how sad and empty I felt with my friends… I mean, they meant well, but they just didn’t understand how I felt.
I tried to go on with my life as I always had, but everyone could tell that the loss of my mom was taking a toll on me. After a couple of months, I finally decided to go talk to a professional who could help.
As I think back, seeing a professional was one of the best things I did. The psychologist I saw had lost a close family member too, so he understood how I felt. After the first couple of sessions, I felt reassured that I would be able to get through this difficult time. I still have a long way to go but I am definitely better off because I decided to go to therapy.
