The Loss of a ParentWhen I was born, my mother was present and active in my life. She took care of me, sang lullabies, and kissed my forehead. But as I grew older, I started to notice that something was different about me. I was an only child, and my mother was never around like other mothers were for their children. She was always busy with work or other responsibilities, and I often felt like I was on my own.As a child, I remember feeling a deep sense of loss. I wanted my mother to be there for me, to hug me and tell me that everything would be okay. But she was never around. It felt like she didn't love me, like I was a burden to her. I would often ask her where she was, and she would give me excuses or ignore my questions altogether.Searching for AnswersAs I got older, I started to piece together the truth. My parents were divorced when I was young, and my mother had custody of me. But she was always working or involved in other activities that kept her away from home. I found out that she was struggling with her mental health and was dealing with a lot of issues that she never talked to me about.It broke my heart when I found out the truth. I felt like I had been lied to for so long, that my mother had kept me in the dark about her struggles. But at the same time, I also felt a sense of relief. Finally, after all those years of wondering why my mother wasn't around for me, I had an answer.Finding AcceptanceAccepting the truth about my mother's mental health has been difficult, but it has also brought me a sense of peace. I know now that my mother did love me, even if she wasn't always able to show it. She was dealing with a lot of demons that she couldn't share with me, but that doesn't mean that she didn't love me or care about me.I have found comfort in knowing that my mother is no longer suffering and is at peace. She is no longer dealing with the demons that plagued her in life, and I can finally mourn her loss without feeling angry or bitter.Moving ForwardI will always miss my mother, but I have learned to accept that she is gone and that I can't change the past. Instead of dwelling on what could have been, I focus on what is and try to make the best of my life. I have learned to forgive both myself and my mother for the mistakes we made and accept that we are both human and make mistakes.I have also found a sense of purpose in helping others who are dealing with similar issues. I want them to know that they are not alone and that it is okay to talk about their mental health issues or struggles with their families. I want them to know that they can overcome their obstacles and find happiness in their lives, even if it may not seem possible right now.
