it's so hard to join a new group and answer everyone..so I am just going to list my losses so each of you know I belong here and understand....I'm going to list chronologically:

Dad

21 year old daughter.(will be 15 years next week) caused a dx of PTSD

cousin ..51...lung cancer (we grew up like sisters)

closest friend of 30 years (her son died cron Leukemia 6 months before my daughter)

my sister....51.....suicide

mother-in-law and father-in-law who I was caretaker for a week apart from each other

my husband....54....lung and bone cancer ...18 months ago

one month ago....a first cousin ...62 ...to cancer....and the next day ...my friend since we were 10 years old...48 years we were friends..

I now believe I suffer from multiple loss syndrome...I have met a man who is kind and gentle and understands me totally...but I keep running from him...I cry if he's not around....but when we get close I run..I am petrified..to love...I am so afraid of what I feel for him..Have started to see a psychologist for this reason...have done my share of grief groups and will be starting a pretty intense one in Oct..I hope it helps....I pray alot...My thoughts for peace of mind and heart to all of you

I lost my close family members in the last 3 years, one each year.  Gran in 2009, Dad in 2010, Mom in 2011.  Now my other gran has been diagnosed with lung cancer and doctors don't think she will live to see next year.  I have a younger sister and she is the only close family member left.  I am 26 and she is 25.  We have to spend the rest of our lives with no more parents and pretty soon no more grandparents.

A young adult orphan with no siblings or children. I asked GOD why I was not left with anybody or someone to understand exactly what I want to go through. I am so lost!

Comment by Lori on June 1, 2012 at 11:12am

Thank you Anna. I met my husband at 21, so my whole adult life has been with him. I honestly can't stand this which of course I don't have a choice .

Comment by anna l. on June 1, 2012 at 3:05am

Lori I can relate to the differences.  When my dad died I was only 9 and my family surrounded me with love from all sides.  He had been ill for many years so I think I also had gotten used to him being gone for prolonged hospital stays.  There were other family and close friends deaths through the years but I met my husband when I was 19 and he was my rock.  Last year when he suddenly got so violently sick and then passed away I was left reeling. 

Comment by Lori on June 1, 2012 at 2:53am

I joined this group because it fit me best. I lost my parents by the time I was 19. Subsequently, I lost my closest Aunt and Uncle, and then my sister and brother in law. I have learned to live with these losses..of course it will always hurt.

Recently, (March 19) I lost my husband of almost 35 years. He was a widower when we met and had also lost his sister so I guess we understood loss and where there for each other.

Each loss is different and brings different pain. I really thought I was a tough cookie, but I have to say this one has crumbled. I am having such a very hard time, my heart is breaking, I can't sleep..it's awful. I try to do ONE thing each day. I tried to go back to work, I thought it would be good for me, but unfortunately my work environment is rather hostile and with everything going on I can't deal with that too. Our only son is in the Navy and currently deployed, so that is rough too. I have some wonderful navy mom friends that are beyond incredible but they live all over the country. At home, I have a few close friends but its hard as they are busy. I try to be strong, but I know I have to grieve. When my Mom passed I went about my business as usual and ended up getting paralysed on my right side, it was caused by not dealing and coping with what I was going through.

I just want to scream.

Thank you for letting me share and vent, I know you all are going through rough times as well.

Hi everyone, have not been on the site for awhile. A lot of times on get on and read everyones comments and just feel your pain. Joanne, I know how you feel, sometimes the pain is just unbearable. I have lost parents, brother, nephew, grandparents, sister-in-laws, mother and father-in-law and lastly on September 3, 2011 I lost my son in a tragic accident. I didn't think I would ever be able to go on if I lost one of my children. I still really don't know how I am functioning, I think it is just through everyones prayers because if it was up to me I would just give up. I just try to do this today, and try my hardest not to think about tomorrow because that is unbearable. Hugs and prayers for everyone who is suffering. Robin

I feel like I've lost everyone I've ever loved.  Over my lifetime I've lost all grandparents, both parents, in-laws, multiple pets, and now at 47 I've lost my husband.  I have no one left.  It's so hard to even come up with a reason to go on.  It hurts so much.

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
