Just joined this place!

This isn't really a question. I thought that I should tell why I have joined this community and introduce myself to you. I lost my mother when I was 5-6 years old, due to suicide. I have learnt a lot about grief after I got a daughter. Anyway, I wish you all the best and some peaceful days ahead.

Thank you for replying Red. What a tough story you have! Grief does so easily get complicated. We kind of put it off until we can deal with it don't we?
How is it to come off the drugs?
I really read so much strength in your reply, I don't know where to begin!
I didn't always think it was manageable without my mother, but I was lucky though - my father re-married someone else after a while and we had a stabile home after a few hustle-bustles.

I am sorry to hear you were raised without a mother, that had to be tough. I can relate on a level of losing my mom but not to death, to prision for 5 years so it was hard I was left to raise my little brother whoi died at 14 in 2004. I am dealing with thta I turned drugs when he got killed and I am now practicing a recovery program clean and sober. It has been truly rough. I have lost 2 brothers, 6 friends, granparents, pets and so much more in the last 10 years I have became a pro at not feeling grief or accepting. I became so sick in my addiction to drugs I thought I would see my lost loved ones again. My story is very complicated but I have had so much Grief in my life and I am just finally dealing with God Bless You and your daughter take care.
