    My mother passed away 4 years ago. I definitely wasn’t prepared emotionally, financially and mentally. I assumed I would’ve support but I was greatly disappointed. No one really cared. No one provided me the support I needed to deal with it properly.

    I did everything in regard to my mother without financial or mental support.

    I learned if you don’t deal with things properly, eventually it will deal with you.

    My life has been on a downward spiral. I don’t know what to do. I really need help to navigate through life.

    I’m so disappointed. However, I refuse to give up. I’m looking for real help and support.

    am very sorry about your loss of you dear mother. I felt like you did: I had supported so many people, but when I needed support they were expecting me to be the one to support them. Someone told me it is because they see us as strong and so they look to us instead of trying to support us. They don't realize our great need .

    I am encouraged by your closing words that you refuse to give up. That is what it will take in order to continue on. This walk of grief is heavy, painful, and difficult, but with the help of God you can make it through to see a little light again. When you don't know what to do, try to just take one day at a time. If you will look to God and ask for His help he will give you help, support, and wisdom in making the decisions which have been thrust upon you. God really cares. We know how much He loves us by His being willing to take our place of punishment for sin, and making a way of escape for us. He can also make a way of escape when we are grieving. The scriptures say He makes a way where there seems to be no way.
    Stay in touch with us here.
