So sorry about your lost. I can understand you as I gained all my weigh after my dad passes three years ago. I was struggling with depression for a while and I found comfort in food. So I understand perfectly! You are gonna be okay, just stay surrounded with good and positive people. Wish you all the best! 

Thank you Selmaperi! It was rough and I went to my old ways of junk food to cope and no exercise. I am sad and still in the early stages of processing the loss. I hope that your loss of your father and the grief is getting easier.  

Hugs on your Mom. It's very difficult. Taking care of yourself is such a good course. 

I understand, it takes time for everything get back to normal. I am better but still miss him so much. That part will always stays with us. Stay strong ❤️ 

Time will help, but will never fill the void. Lost my mom on June 15, 2015, five days before my birthday. Please take good care of yourself and know we are here for you. ♥️  

Thank you for your support tatauu22 & Erquiaga.  

Sorry to hear about mom. Take care of yourself. 

So sorry 😔 my dad passed 9/11/14. It’s not an easy thing to deal with. 🙏❤️ 

oh no, I am so sorry. It hurts... and yes, food is comforting. We are here for you!  

My mom and dad have been gone 12 and 11 years respectively. The “first year of firsts” was the hardest (first birthday without them, first Xmas, etc.), and of course the first few weeks and months are a flurry of things you have to do (planning a funeral/burial, cleaning out their home, etc.). Be sure to order *at least* 25 official copies of your moms death certificate. You will need them for YEARS to come (for every credit company or utility, etc. that requires proof of your mom having passed, they will not accept xerox copies). People will disappear on you at about the 3 month mark, so practicing self-care now is a good habit to get back into, it’ll propel you forward when everyone else has moved on and thinks YOU should’ve too. 😢 I’d like to tell y’all it gets better with 10+ years of time, but it merely gets different. Wishing you comfort during this difficult time, hold on tight to your nearest/dearest, get as much sleep as you can, and spend time in places that bring you a sense of peacefulness. For me, that was nature. For you, it might be a quiet bookstore. Just be sure to take care of you! (((hugs)))
