So, I met a woman 6 years ago and became very very close to this person. So close I was calling her mom for the last 4 years. She was like the mother I never had. I learned via Facebook that she lost her fight with liver cancer, and passed on on February 16. I only found out last night since no one contacted me. I feel like my entire world is shattered by losing this person. I did get the chance to spend a few weeks with her after my daughter was born, and I did name my daughter after her. I am not sure what is hurting me the most right now, that I have lost her for good, or that I had to find out via Facebook, 10 days after she passed away. Other then my husband and my daughter, I have no one to talk to, confide in, or anyone that I love or trust, (family or friend) and that is why I am posting this here. I am sorry if this isn't suppose to be here, I just needed to get it out. Thank you for listening, or reading, and for your precious time.

You have to remember they where/are also dealing with their own grief. Some people can't cope with making those phone call rounds. They may have not been the one to do them, maybe they had a relative or friend who did not know you do them, or if they did maybe your number was not easily found. So don't assume it was anything personal people who are grieving don't sit down and think 'who would be offended if I did not call them'.

As for people alone once you are feeling up to it the only way adults make real friends these days is to go get involved in something. Find something you enjoy, gardening, sewing, conventions, what ever does not mater there is a group for everything. Don't just join up actually get involved in putting something on.

My prayers are with you right now. It is such a sad time, and time will help...

Ammit has great suggestions to meet new friends! Get involved with a hobby you enjoy and you will meet new people.

Thank you for the feedback. I did talk to her husband today, and he said he had her brother do the calling, and he forgot to give him my number. So you were right Ammit. I do feel alot better after talking to her husband. I started work 3 days ago, and I have met a very nice person, who is training with me. I am also going to volunteer at the Humane Society to help me, and look for other activities for me and the baby to do together, Maybe find a good daycare for her to be in, she needs to interact with kids too. (Can't keep her to myself forever, lol). I wish everyone a wonderful day. Thanks
