I took care of my mom who had Alzheimer’s for 10 years bedridden, long story short, and thought after she died it would be a lot easier ( at least that’s what everyone told me would happen since I did everything I could for her). But mourning is tremendously difficult and I’m depressed. But siblings and family have moved on and I can’t. Mom only talked to me in her ways of communicating , smiled every morning when I woke her, laughed, but couldn’t do anything herself. But she wouldn’t to anyone else. I don’t know why, I have suspicions though. We were best friends in life and I can’t move on. It’s been one month and I cry and sleep. I did the best I could, 24-7, she’s in a better place with dad, both taken young, it comforts me somewhat but my heart is broken
Depression

Cut yourself a break, it has only been a month after 10 years.
What you are experiencing is normal and it is a terrible time for the world, so that adds to your grief I am sure.
Find little ways to help yourself smile daily. Get physical and get that dopamine flowing in your system.
May God give you grieving mercies and comfort during this difficult time. May HE help you over this difficult time a stronger person.
That was my sisters nickname. given to her by our Father.
I understand your feelings and grieving. Your life is now so very empty.
After Luz passed, I just hung around the house and moped along. I finally realized I needed to get out and do something. I just walked around the stores to see people living their lives.
That helped me a little. I did not stop grieving but it helped. Then I started to use the memories to help me. All of the little things she did or that we did together. All of that helped me even more.
Yes I was sad and still lonely but I have all of those beautiful memories. some still make me cry and I am glad for that. I just don't cry as much. I smile more and enjoy the memories.
I even talk to her pictures now and then. Silly isn't it. I don't care, I do it anyway.
This month marked one year since her passing and I made it just fine.
You will too eventually.
Best of luck and be patient.
