This post is probably the hardest one I will ever write. Only because I have just recently realized that some things are not good bottled up inside for years. So this is it. And I hope what I write today will help others who may have dealt with a similar issue.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was in 4th grade. The end of my 6th grade year, we were told her cancer had come back, and by the beginning of my 7th grade year, she had passed away. I do not like talking about about even after all these years. It took me over 6 years to visit her grave by myself. For me, if I did not acknowledge she was gone, she was still here.
My advice for something like this, do NOT hold your feelings in. They eventually come bubbling to the surface, and it is not pretty. Talk to someone. Anyone. For me, I talk to one of my friends who is in the same situation. It makes for an easier conversation. Another great person to talk to, God. He is always there. Does not matter what time of day or night. He is always there to listen. You may not know why this happened to you, but He knows the answers. He will not tell you the answer because we will not understand. I also like to drive and have my own personal cry session. Sometimes a good cry is all you need. And yes guys, women like a man who is not afraid to show his true emotions (as long as you keep them in check).
If you are in this situation know that I am praying for you. I know what it is like. Sometimes you feel lonely and like no one understands. I may not know the situation, but that does not matter. I hope this post helps everyone or even just one.
