My mom died two years ago and every single day feels like my life has been significantly worse ever since. I don’t want a pity party but others in my family truly brush over it like it was eons ago, yet not one day goes by that I don’t notice she’s supposed to be here. And no she was never supposed to die in the first place, she was relatively young and it was an accident. I feel like I cannot truly be happy if she isn’t here and not one day goes by that I don’t miss her.

Hoping to see that I’m not alone in this? I know grief is messy, non- linear, and complicated but it feels so fucking intense. Yes, I’ve been to grief counseling and it is the equivalent to putting a bandaid on a gun shot wound. So if anyone has any advice, or is currently experiencing it, please let me know.
