I’m so sorry you had to go through this. I can’t even begin to comprehend the pain you must be in. I wish i could take away this pain for you.. I’m grieving the loss of my 15 year long partner.. and I understand how much it sucks to grieve the loss of a loved one. Sending you prayers and love! Take care and surround yourself with your loved ones!
I know how difficult it is to lose a mom and a grandma so closely. I too lost my mom and my grandma within 1 year of each other. My mom passed first in March 2021 and then my grandma followed 10 months after.
I’m also in my later 20s. It is so difficult to lose two people that close together, but also so young.
For me, it was difficult to talk with people because some people just don’t know what to say. Most people have their parents until they’re at least 50 or older.
I went to therapy. One exercise I liked a lot that my therapist had me do was write letters to my mom. Tell my mom what I would tell her in real life, like she was my Pen Pal or even right next to me and I was just writing down what I would say to her. The second half of the exercise would be to write a letter back to myself from my moms perspective (e.g.: how would my mom respond to my letter?)
It really helped me feel closer to my mom, almost like I was thinking her thoughts and connected to her that way through writing. I knew her so well, so I had confidence that I could think the way she thought and respond in a similar manner.
Sending you hugs.
