How do you get through life when someone you loved as in a parent is gone?

WHat's the rest of your info sweetie? What kind of gone? Moved? Passed away, just out of your life?


I do not know your deails. Both of my parents are still living. My mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly and I can tell you that it has taken a long while for reality to set in with her children and for them to learn their own way in life. Especially her daughters.


It is hard to learn your own way. Even if you are an adult, it is hard and hurting to have to figure out things w/o this ';parent'; to guide you. It is going to be the same way when you experience something sad or joyous b/c you do not have them to share it with. But time will help you. Time will not make the hurt or longing completely go away, but it will make it easier. Just cocetrate on the good times you had together and all tat he/she taught you and shared with you. Take them with you in your heart, but the most important thing is to learn to live your YOU. Take their happy memories, and let it comfort you, but always live for yourself. Being a happy you would make any parent happy. How do you get through life when someone you loved as in a parent is gone?
Understand that life can sometimes be cruel. Its hard to go on without them, but you must learn to move on.





Ask yourself if you're the one you loved would like to see you in such a state of sadness.





Take time to think about the good and bad times =]





Just know that wherever they are they are watching you, and they want you to be something amazing =D You might have completed their life, but they were only a chapter in yours.





Take your time to recover, but don't get overwhelmed. You have a life to live, and people in the here and now to still enjoy living with =]How do you get through life when someone you loved as in a parent is gone?
It's tough but you just have to take one day at a time. I lost my step dad to cancer when he was only 36 and I was having a hard time remembering things about him so I started a journal and wrote down as many memories of him as I could so I could hold on to them and him because as time goes on it's hard to remember certain things. It does hurt for a long time but it does get easier as time goes on.
one day at a time,,, one moment at a time. mom has been gone for 20 years now and in some ways it seems like yest. in other ways it seems so long ago. don't be suprised if about 6 months down the road from the time of death,,, it hits you again really hard. it does get better and hopefully there are plenty of memories to sustain you. was he or she you idol or mentor?. try to be like them and honor them whenever possible. i mean be yourself but the things that you adored about them, bring them into your own life and with your own children. best wishes and my deepest sympathy.
you just get through it. you have to. you have to believe that the person you lost would want you to go tho life being the best you can be
i wouldnt care personally... i'd be like ok they died... everybody does it was their time... why cry about it's dumb
My mom died from cancer when I was 19 -





You will still love them, but after years go by, you will adjust- i promise..it takes time.
I just kept on trucking, still trucking. The one that's alive doesn't give two you know whats about me anyway.
