Hi. I'm new to this group. I've been on a group for losing my Mom and my Dad and there have been others I've lost that I never got in a group for. My father-in-law passed away on March 14. I'm sadder than I thought I'd be. I've been a caregiver for a lot of the people I lost including living with my father-in-law for a while taking care of him. I'm just sad. I'm sad he's gone. I'm sad he suffered at the end. I'm sad for mistakes I made that I can't forgive myself for. I'm sad because I'm remembering all of the other people I lost like I'm grieving them again. I just sad.
Hi. I used to belong to just the "I Miss My Mom" because I lost my Mom in Feb 14th 2017. April 9th...20 days ago, my sister's husband died suddenly. It is effecting me not only because I love my sister and really admired her husband, but also because this is another loss so soon after the first. For my sister, it is a double whammy because both of us were close to Mom and still mourn her loss. This is bringing back up a lot of sadness and tears are falling as I write this.

My apologies to you, Hannah, for my misinterpretation. I now understand what your counselor was saying. Yes, finding people who understand is extremely helpful for sharing. Oddly enough, I find great comfort in my working on genealogy. Learning how they lived and the struggles they survived are testimonials to the human spirit. My best to you all.

My apologies for not clarifying or sounding insensitive, my counsellor meant it in the way of we are dealing with a lot - as in it's rare for people to have multiple losses. It is so hard to heal when we keep getting bombarded by loss. Reaching out on here with people who have experienced loss on such large levels is very helpful.
I am deeply sorry for your losses Kris. I do too feel those around me too sometimes. It's difficult navigating life without them. I know the pain will never go away but we do learn to cope.My thoughts are with you.
I do whole heartedly believe you when you say they have made you a better person. I believe that the people I have lost really shaped me into the woman I am today and I am so thankful I got the opportunities to be such big parts in their lives.
Hi Jo and Hannah,
I don't believe that only war or natural disaster survivors are the only ones dealing with multiple losses. I've had in the space of a six years I've lost five close friends, my mother, her sister, a neighbor and nephew-in-law, both to suicide, and two fur kids who were a part of my life for 18 years.
No, it doesn't seem fair. And I have spent a good bit of time in trying to accept that dying is a part of life. Sometimes the circumstances of a death have made it easier to accept because our loved ones are free from pain--Mom's stroke that left her brain dead; my aunt's complications from cancer, or organ failure. In the case of my nephew, I still have a lot of anger toward him but also realize that he too was in great pain--emotionally.
What I miss most are the holes they left in the fabric of my life. Yet I often hear in my head the wisdom and love of my Mother, dear friends, and even my fur kids. So I guess they haven't entirely left me. I am a better person because of them. I have come to be more compassionate towards my self and others.
I hope this may help. Sending you prayers.
Hi all I've lost most of my family in the past 10 years or so and my bf 4 months ago its been very hard to deal with I ask why this has happened and don't have any answers it just doesn't seem fair
I'm recently a victim to multiple loss myself. It's not fair, nor easy to deal with. Any tips?
My counsellor said generally only people who go to war or deal with a natural disaster are the ones who are faced with multiple loss.
