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 9 year old daughter in January this year. She was in a car accident with two more of my children (who are thankfully ok, although severely traumatised). Although the paramedics and hospital staff did all they could for her, she couldn't survive her injuries and died a few hours after the crash. We're trying to cope with this sudden change to our lives but it's hard. Every day we're still in shock and struggling to accept that she isn't with us anymore. We all miss her more than words can say. We struggle with the fact that the driver (of the car my daughter was in, who fell asleep while driving and hit a truck head-on) survived but our innocent daughter (who was asleep in the car) didn't. Anyway, that's why I'm here xx

I lost my mom a year ago this Sunday. She finally lost the battle with depression and committed suicide. We had a huge fight two years before she died and I left and moved back in with my dad. That fight was the last time I spoke with her. I will never forgive myself for holding onto that anger so long. She wasn't perfect but she was my mom and it still hurts just as bad today as it did when I got that phone call a year ago. I feel so alone and sad. My sister stopped speaking to me after my mom died because she was angry that I hadn't spoken to mom for so long. So I'm trying to deal with this all by myself. I am not only mourning the loss of my mom but my sister, too. I hope this group can help me not to feel so alone in my struggle.

I lost my son, Jeremy who was 35 to a 19 year long struggle with drugs on November 26, 2009...I miss him everyday but I know I will see him again one day. My faith has brought me so much comfort just knowing that he has at long last found peace.

By Anita Kelly. I am new to this site. don't really know how it works. I came home from work on Oct. 26 2009 to find My Husband dead on the kitchen floor. He had not felt good for awhile. Was severly depressed cause he had an accident in 2008 which left him without a job. His job let him go cause he had to go to therapy. they would not work with him. He got fired, had to find something. Lost nearlly half of his income. Started blowing up with water, had to drag him to the dr. Finally went but he fought everything. He had no health insurance that may be the reason. He didn't care anymore. I wanted to put everything on my credit card I didn't care. I wanted him to get care. I would have taken care of him, I always did. I feel guilty, I feel like I could have done something more.for him I miss him terribly.

Today would have been my son's 32nd birthday. He was murdered while in the US army and life has not been the same since. It has been almost 12 years now and we miss him just the same now as in the beginning. I pray healing on my families hearts today and every day as our thoughts turn to him.

Hi everyone!
I am brand new to the site. I lost my soulmate, Damon, to a brain aneurysm, the day before Valentine's Day. It happened in my arms, though he lasted 2 days in a coma. He was also in my arms when he took his last breath in the hospital. I still can't believe it happened. I walk around in a fog most of the time. Though I put one foot in front of the other, I don't really know how I've made it these last 2+ months without him. I am so sorry for all of you and your losses. I know that here I will find people who have experienced loss and therefore understand. My family and friends have been so great, but in a way they don't get it.
Best wishes to all. Not sure what I am expecting here, but I'll stay tuned!

Hello I am 22 and lost my grandfather on Dec 22,2008 in a head on accident
sometimes I just feel lost not having him to call and get advice from anymore. Christmas just is not the same anymore.
I know he is in a better place but still it hurts to even think about it.
hugs and prayers to all

Hi Jennifer, my son would have been 17 this Friday (March 19). I dread Friday, I also have to view his autopsy this week. So I am preparing myself for a major case of depression. I hope all works out for you and your family. God be with you during these hard times.

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
