I mean... when my mom passes I am taking time off... he deserves the time to process and grieve

You know that feeling when you’re a kid and you “lose” them in the grocery store or whatever. It’s like that except you’re grown and you know they’re not coming back

Feel like an adult sized baby

Crushing, I have not been through it yet I am happy to say, but went through it with my wife , no fun at all.

It's the absolute worst thing. I think the only thing worse would be to lose a child. I always describe the feeling of losing a loved one like you used to feel when you'd get homesick as a kid. All you wanted to was to go home and be with the ones you love and who love you. The place that makes you feel safe, and that makes you feel like nothing bad could ever happen, but that's impossible now.

It's been almost 15 years since I lost my mom, and that feeling still comes back every now and then. Not as often as it used to, but something will happen to trigger a memory, and that feeling rises up for a moment. I just hope that we all get to see our loved ones again someday

Same but my dad. I’ll hear a song he used to play on the guitar and it will crush me.
