Find Care & Housing
These are all great answered your your question. You are on the right track. It seems to take longer to start to grieve when you have been the caregiver and it's normal to question yourself. Just don't beat yourself up about it. There is no right or wrong way as long as you try and try different ways. I saw a psychologist until that wasn't helping. Then meds and what really helps for me is this site and my fiance. All you need is one person to support you and just remind yourself how wonderful they are for that.

Martinamarie, my prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I too just lost my mother 4 months ago. The grieving process takes time and we all go through it in different stages. But that numb, lost feeling that you are in now is one we have all been through if we have lost a dear loved one. There is no one "best" advise unfortunately, but there have been many wonderful suggestions given here. The most important thing is, don't rush yourself. Give yourself time to grieve and process your loss. And don't make any real decissions about you future or your career yet. How you feel now may not be how you feel a year from now. Just take it one day at a time. There is a wonderful website, www.jw.org, that has beautiful bible-based information on how to handle death and grieving. I went to "Publications" and then "Books and Brochures". There is a brochure entitled "When Someone You Love Dies". It explains the 5 stages of grief and gives real comfort and hope. You can even download a copy for free. You can even get a free Bible from that site. I highly recommend you check into it. But whatever you decide to do, please decide to be good to yourself and be patient. Your feelings, your happiness, and your life will come back to you with time. In the meantime, please know you have a support group right here ready to listen and help where we can.
