I lost my mom back in January. Two days before school started to beexact
Took the semester off from the UofA, but came back to Tucson after about 5 weeks back home taking care of *#*@ (services, moving out of the house, etc.)
Anyways, there's like 10-15 people that I talked to on either the daily or at least a couple of times a week that I just never hit me up anymore. My boywas telling me that it's because people didn't really know what to say to me or whatever. I was, and still am pretty open about everything that me andmy mom went through in the 4 or so years that she had cancer. I shared numerous stories, updates, concerns, all that with these people. I feel like I have noreason to talk to these people, but the thoughts of how I wish things could go back to how they were before she passed always come back.
It's been getting to me, and I've been trying to think of a way to reach out to these people and tell them that they can talk to me, and that I'mnot mad. I just can't come up with a good way to say, "Hey, I know you were nowhere to be found in the toughest part of my life, but it's cool,let's move on."
So, to NTers who have been through similar situations, how did you handle them?
