Mom passed the end of September. She had LBDementia, Cancer on her legs and Parkinson's. It was a long hard emotional summer. I was diagnosed with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma in August. I am struggling from her being gone! I miss her but I am a rational person, but my mind doesn't seem to get it.
The day we buried her I got Shingles and Hives. The shingles were mild (bc of vaccine) but the hives are still here. I am exercising, eating better than ever before, and trying to make my way back into "normal", but I took care of Mom for 6 years, both while she was at home and while she was in a MC unit.
Any suggestions?
Do I need counseling? Or do I just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
If you even suspect you could use a counseling session or two please consider a licensed social worker in private practice--they are good and quick at life transitions work and guiding you.
My heart goes out to you; there's a lot on your plate. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you will put yourself first now going forward.
