Community Hospice offers a Daughter's Group that meets for (I think) six weeks. It is free and available whether or not your family used Hospice. This helped me a lot after my mother passed. Going through my photo albums and seeing the pictures of the good and happy times is comforting too.
Bosscat, please accept my sincere condolences and continue to reach out to this site. We all care.
When we are unable to carry on with our lives after a reasonable period of time, which also varies from person to person, it’s time to get help. My mother’s funeral home offered grief counseling and I got invitations to groups for over a year. If you are in the grieving process and you feel you need help, contact your doctor, your church or as I said, the funeral home. There are people who can help if you reach out.
I grieved for my mom daily while she was living with Alzheimer's disease. It was a long slow death. When she passed in 2017, twelve years after diagnosis, if was a relief, she was finally released from her disease. I think of her daily, but I would never call it grief.
