My pops was dealing with heart disease for a while. Got a transplant that gave him 10 more years but he recently passed in June (3 days after my birthday). Its the hardest thing Ive had to deal with hands down cause I thought he would pull through. He was only in his 40s and im in my early 20s.

Never thought Id lose my pops so young :mjcry:

Beginning of the year was rough for me and I needed a place to stay and I thought about staying with my dad but I just slept in my car and stayed with some females until I had the bread to get my own place. Even on his hospital bed he offered to cosign for my place :wow:

I regret not just staying with him since that wouldve been some of my last moments with him. But one of my last conversations he had with me he told me he felt his job was done now that I got a nice new gig and got my own spot for the first time. :mjcry:

shyt is rough man :snoop: it distracts me from work thinking about it. I may need to get some type of counseling or something so I dont pick up a bad drinking habit.

I've said this on here before, I lost my mom to Brain Cancer December 27th, 2004. She died two weeks after I turned 14 and I'm still a hot mess to this day about it. This is the worst time of year for me because all of her final moments in life flood my mind like an overflowing cup. I've suffered from depression for many years and I feel it getting worse the closer it gets to December.

There are days that I can't cope with it and some days I can deal a little bit. I have a lot on my mind lately too, which doesn't help. She was only 33 and had shyt to do in life. This also made me realize early that my family truly isn't shyt and I'd give anything to throw my mom's sister 12 feet under and bring my mama back.

I don't remember my moms voice and I feel so damn guilty. I want to hear it again, see her standing up tall, I miss her hugs and the way she referred to tampons as "Coochie plugs". Ma dukes was and still is everything. RIP Nicole Brady.

Lost Dad in 2002 wasn't close with him but I didn't have closure so I'm having issues to this day.

Lost Mom in 2008 I had to become the patriarch of my family at the ripe age of 26.

Mom's death hurt like hell. Get sporadic bouts of depression. I haven't been in a healthy relationship since her death.

Also learned the world is a cold and cruel place no one really gives a damn about you except your parents. This instilled in me a crazy work ethic. I always get compliments on my work ethic.

My dad was murdered in front of me when I was a kid. Mom died from cancer when I was 17, two days after I signed to play football at USC. My dad's murder made me very anti social and combative growing up. Mom's death took away all my emotional feeling. Many hours of counseling and a very supportive friend who I'm actually married to now kept me from ruining my life. Also wife's mother and father have truly embraced me as their son so life is very good now.
I’m glad you’re feeling better breh

My boyfriend lost his mom last year suddenly, I suspect it has something to do with his drinking but he also has moments where he detaches. I believe it also sparked his anxiety flare-ups but he’s in therapy for it.

I lost my mom four years ago exactly on this day. It's really tough. I miss her laugh, I miss her voice, I miss her touch, her hugging me whenever I was down and saying "everything will be alright." :mjcry:

January and February are the absolute worst for me because January was my mom's birth month and February is the month she passed away on.
So every year around this time, i get super depressed as well as anti-social. Although I'm getting a bit better handling it...the pain never stops

Nothing lasts forever. So cherish your moments with your loved ones.

Just lost my mother (not covid) this past wednesday.

Didn't want to make a thread.

I still haven't told my job and we staring to come back.

I want to quit that bytch knowing we only get 5 days bereavement.

It was sudden. And it kills me that we didn't get to fight for her life. She was so young.

I only answered two calls from family. So, I'm only talking to the family I'm with.

Like, life just got deleted for me. I don't want shyt to do with shyt.

I been posting like normal and just put some subliminal shyt on IG and Facebook. Been sleeping all day and watching YouTube.

I'm fukked up.
