Although I don't live in the U.S., there is always fireworks on the 4th of July and last night was no exception.  However, my electricity was off so I was sitting outside (with my dogs) and 3 fireworks went off in my neighbourhood.  It brought back immediate memories of that night, Dec. 9th last year when my husband was shot and I ran into my house and broke down.  I was automatically terrified again and re-lived the whole nightmare last night by myself because of some stupid fireworks.  When does the fear end - if ever???  I know the grief will never end and I miss my husband so much, I cry every night missing him (we were only married 3 years).  I have some of his ashes in a small urn and I pick it up and hold it close and can almost feel him.  I asked my sister-in-law why did God allow this to happen - we did not deserve this, she replied it was not God, it was the work of Satan.  Can someone who reads this please re-assure me that our loved ones are up there watching over us all the time.  It is so hard.

I do not know when or if the fear ends....I hope they are there with us, but I don't know....I do not have any answers.  Satan seems like a pretty easy answer, if things are simple....what I do know is this is far from easy & I am going through it too, so you are not alone

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
