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 need help! I wake up in the mornings and wnt it to all go away. My pastner died suddenly on 25th September 2009. I found him and had to perform CPR but it was too late. I miss him more than is bearable. I don't want to go to work or do anythin but know that I have to go on. It is terrifying when I remember that I will NEVER see him ever again. I feel anxious and scared and panicky. And dreading XMAS.

My heart goes out to all of you who have had a loved one ripped from your life, that is what it feels like to me. I always thought as you got easier it would not be so hard to lose a parent, I am 47 and it is breaking my heart to bits. My best friend finds it too painful to discuss. She misses her but what about me?

This will be my first christmas without my mom and dad it will be 5 long years on Feb 18. They are together now!

We must stick together and support each other because I have found some folks don't get our unique loss. I have no spouse and a few family left.

Today the Christmas tree is up. Some years are easier than others. This year I just feel empty. I don't think we would have placed one in our home had it not been for our grand-daughters living with us. How they fill our hearts and bring smiles to our faces. I pray all of you have someone in your lives that help yo...u do that. The holidays seem to be the worst. All those holiday shoppers out there smiling, shopping with their children when ours aren't with us. I just want to go up to them and tell them how lucky they are. Each night we will light our angel candle next the picture of our daughter, that is the closes we can get to her. I pray for each and every one of us, that we have the strength to indure the rest of this year. That we all have a better New Year. God Bless Everyone. (my words I just posted the same thing on different sites

I just joined the support group today. I lost my partner/soulmate on October 14th very unexpectdly in three hours. We later learned that a blood clot had passed through her heart. I am having a hard time trying to go forward and am hoping joining this group will help!

Julie:
I know the feeling. I have been in a fog since my husband died. I do the things I need to do but there is no joy in my life right now. I do everything I can to get out of bed in the morning and take care of my son. Thanks for sharing

It has been awhile since I have been able to write as I am in the middle of my externship for the Ma program. Your stories have all touched me very much and we all have lost someone we really love in a very sudden and dramatic way!!

Does anybody have trouble getting back to life? I have NO desire to do anything and I have worked real hard to get where I am at in my career and I have little desire and everything I take to get going in the morning. I just do not feel like doing anything.

katherine i am so sorry about your daughter how can a company be allowed to operate something like this without any proper training? Have you looked into a legal advice. how old was she what was her name. my condolences to you i know that it doesnt seem like it will get better but there is light at the end of the tunnel i too am going through the same thing my cousin killed himself, and right now i am on auto pilot i just keep going because it is the only thing i know how to do, my life is so dark right now i sleep all day sometimes i dont sleep, sometimes i eat sometimes i dont eat. the hardest part was having to call my brother and to have to tell him that doug had killed himself. btw doug was my cousin, 24 yrs old, and now he is dead. all i can say is wtf, and im pissed off. anyhoo got to try to get to sleep.

We had to stand there and watch while they worked on our daughter. we were white water rafting, she went down a small fall and fell out. She pushed her foot down to kick back up and it was stuck in some rocks. The company had nothing set up or trained in case of an accident. So I watched our daughter die. This has changed me. Part of my heart will always be done. I don't laugh anymore or feel joy. Life is darker, depressing. I know all of you will understand. I feel like crying but the tears are all dried up. i know i will see her again. but that is such a long time to wait. I miss her joy, laughter and fun. she was my best friend.

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
