My mom passed almost two months ago after a 14 month battle with brain cancer. My father passed when I was little, so I find myself at 36 with no biological parents. Two weeks ago I had my second child, and I feel like grief smacked me in the face all over again. I remember my mom being here when my first child was born and to not have her now has been unbearable. I miss her terribly and am really struggling with how to move forward because I know I have to. She was my best friend.
