Traumatic, Sudden Loss

I have started this group for people who like myself have suddenly, tragically and traumatically lost a loved one.

My mom died 8 weeks ago (August 17, 2009) She had been sick but I did not know the true extent of her illness. Her doctor knew she did not have long and I went to each doctor visit and talked to him at the hospital and he never told me and I do not believe mom knew either. I am not sure.

I found my mom sitting up on her bed and I know I knew she was gone. I still am in deep shock and cry occasionally but only a minute or two. Then I am back to not feeling or feel numb.

I lost my unmarried husband of 22 years to a glioblastoma, an agressive brain tumor on March 30, 2011.  It was diagnosed middle of January and we spent the 2 1/2 months in surgery, and trying to recover from pneumonia. It seems sudden and traumatic, He was well and active until the surgery, though his personality was changing.  I have ricocheting between numbness, emotional pain and anger that this has happened.  I miss him terribly.

Melissa, I too have smelled the unique scent that was my husband and this has made me believe that he is still present and I find that very comforting.

Greetings Linda, sorry you feel that way, the members are very supportive on this site. Sorry for any pain that you may be feeling.

I would like to know if there are any amongst us that are believers in the afterlife and that your loved one is still present in your life even after death?

Dear Shelia, I am so sorry for your loss. I have found that time and writing has been a great help to me. My youngest son was killed in a car accident. I was told that the boys were goofing around in the car when they hit a semi. My oldest son was driving. It's much to difficult to try to understand why. Now they are both gone due to car accidents. I feel your pain. I wish there were answers to it all for all of us. Take care.

Dear Kelly,  I am so sorry to hear this.  I lost a friend to suicide many years ago and it was tough but I was young and able to move on pretty quickly.  I do not know what it is like to go through what you are going through but knowing my own situation, be aware that you will not just "get over it", as some people might say.  It takes a LONG time just to learn to cope with death not to mention the trauma which just makes it harder.  You just have to get through it somehow.  I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I must tell you that I do not think that I would have made it through the past 8 months if I was not.  Cry whenever you need to and talk about whatever you are feeling with anybody willing to listen.  If you come across someone who can identify with your situation, I bet that would be helpful.  One of the hardest things is feeling like nobody really gets it or understands.  Your son is graduating!  That's a great achievement!  Focus on that.  You want to make sure that he knows that even though, you are hurting horribly, you are still his #1 fan band will be there for him no matter what.  Sending prayers, Kandi

I lost my husband two months ago to suicide. I found him hanging in our shed. I am traumatized. I feel like I have no future and don't want to get out of bed in the mornings. I have a son who graduates next month; he is my only child. I hate being this way because my son has already suffered so much. How long will I feel like this?

today would of been our twelth wedding anniversary. it is hard knowing we will have no more anniversarys. i don't take anything for granted. i love all those around me. i try to never stay angry at anyone. i miss jeremy very much he was my sole mate. he was very proud we made it into double digits into our marriage. i feel for anyone who is going through grief. it is one of the hardest or is the hardest thing we face on this earth. i couldnt do it without god in my life.

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
