I guess for all of us and me too is to hopefully we able be with our love ones soon... for me i am hoping get illness as i am already have diabetic i am eating not good food bc i dont care n hopefully be with him soon i don't think waiting till your time comes ...its too long to wait or till a person get god forbid car accident or illness or whatever n goes sooner then expected... some ppl passaway whatever it may be. but living and waiting till your time comes and then be with your spouse as ppl would say... is too long for us to wait we all want to be with them right now.

Dear, Darlene. Sorry for your loss.

I also go through the time when emotional pain turns into physical. It is so scary as I am alone and nobody can help. I keep telling myself - you must get up, you must start looking for a job, but my body is having its own schedule. I look scary, I feel sick. I cannot believe 3 months ago I was active, beautiful, ambitious, professional woman. No more... Even hard to collect my thoughts, to concentrate now

Depression hits everyone sooner or later, suicidal/death thoughts visits... There is no help just your inner something. If you can afford, grief consultant can help. Maybe you can find somebody close who went through this pain. At the same time, I agree with AnneJ that your body is trying to protect you: I was numb the first week after his death.

I come here when the pain goes over the head. Chat is always empty. I cannot find anybody in Dallas. People show their location but there is no search option.

I had that feeling when my nephew called me and told me his brother had killed himself one year after my brother (their father) died. It was a weird sensation I have never felt before. From the top of my head all the way to my feet just a rush of ? I had to tell my mother when she got home from work. One of the hardest days of my life.

I prefer not to feel anything, now.

It's not healthy, I know, but it's my preference.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
