my mom died yesterday. the most surreal thing and heart dropping

you got any hobbies? do them or play vidya games if ur into that just anything to keep u busy and to take your mind off it

Exercise a lot. Think about the happy times with your mom. You knew this day was gonna come eventually, accept it. No one is gonna live forever.

Spend some time with friends. Don't stay in your head too long.

seconding these. spend time in nature and spend time with people who love you.

I am sorry for your loss, OP.

Also don't be afraid to cry

I'm sorry op.
Do things you love, focus on yourself. Don't let yourself spiral into a dark place. It's hard op but you can be brave.
Doing something physical would be a great stress reliever, so if that means putting your time into a new hobby that would be even better too. Sports, yoga, simple jogging, and if you like singing maybe even that?!

I never knew my grandmother, but that's about the age she was when she died. my mom was 19 and in college. idk how she managed to get through it, just that it was hard.

most college campuses have counselors, usually at no cost to students. might not hurt to talk to one.

also if you feel like it's affecting your studies, talk to your professors about it. don't expect a bunch of special treatment or anything, but most of them are human beings. if you're in a rough patch emotionally and need an extra day to finish a paper, ask for it. worst they can do is say no.

you will. sometimes people don't cry right away. it'll come when it comes.

a good cry followed by a good night's sleep can do wonders in helping a person get through day to day.

Remember it's okay to be sad.
Remember that it's also okay to be numb.
Remember that it's also okay to be happy. You're not "betraying your mom" by laughing.

read camus "the stranger"

My mom's only 19 years older than me. I guess I'm kinda lucky not to have an older mom, but if my mom did die now, I don't know what I'd do. The most important person in my life really.

that's kinda hot

Well, I'm 24 now, which is weird looking back on when she was 24. She already had a 5 year old kid, and was divorced. I'm sitting here alone lol.

Man, if you cared about the deceased, dont ever mess with its face. Every dog and cat Ive ever had, Ive had to bury them myself, and the shittiest part is always throwing that first shovel full of dirt over their face.

In all honesty I think you should get used to the idea and accept it. Take a few days off and take that time to remember her, accept that she's not here anymore and cry, if you feel like it. Yeah, I know I'm telling you to be sad, but it helps in the long run. Less residual emotion.

I'm sorry for your loss anon. I'll say a prayer for you if that's okay.

Thats why i bury my cats wrapped in their favorite blanket.

Let me have my grief, you piece of shit.

Surround yourself with family/friends, it's what they're there for. It'll hit you hard and you'll want to make sure you're in good hands.
