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.

Today is six months since my beloved husband left us. I can't bear this any longer. I'm struggling to hang on for my kids, who clearly need me to be here-- but I need him!! I can't do it, I just can't. I pray constantly for release from this horrible pain. I manage to get through most days, keeping my mask of "okay-ness" in place, but inside I'm endlessly screaming in agony. I hate this. It's not my life. It's not.

The non stop self destruction and the non stop drinking will numb the pain. I blame God too. I ask why Me? I get not answers. I will continue to try to keep my head clear for my Only Son.The tears just tear me apart when I am alone, the grief is after me like a thief in the night.

Yes in a sense we are alone on this journey but we have ourselves, our loved one is watching us and with us spiritually and emotionally. Remember these two bonds can't be taken away from us. Support to all

Will I ever sleep again? Tuesday the 16th will be 3 months since I lost my beautiful girl. And yets it feels like it has been so much longer. The days and nights just drag on. Every day that passes I just miss her so much more. The hole just gets bigger.
I'm still feeling disappointed about my first grief support group meeting called “Compassionate Friends”. I was looking forward to meeting other people like me. And much to my disbelief I was the only one who showed up that night, other than the group leader. I did share with her. I felt as though it was an affirmation to me that I was in fact in this journey “ALONE”.
Oh Lord, please send me someone to lean on, a good friend.

Same here... I'm so lost, and no matter how many times friends and family tell me otherwise, I'm so, so alone. My sweet husband promised me forever-- he left me once a long time ago, and he finally came back to me, and he vowed he would never leave me again. And then he did, and now I'm completely broken. I didn't ask for this and I DO NOT WANT IT. I don't want to go another step without him. I don't want to be here at all, I just want to lay down and wake up in the next world, in his arms.

Steve said he would be with me forever and now here comes another stupid holiday. We didnt do much but at least we were together and now Im alone. My kids say Mom go meet someone. Its not the same, you may have some one you can talk to for awhile but then you are alone again. I know you are not supposed to question Gods work but you have to wonder why does he take one and not both
. Steve was my partner and I dont know how to do this life thing without him.

People mean well with those comments. Nothing they say can really help and they know that. However, I take comfort in the comments such as your loved one would want you to go on and be happy, because I have said this to myself many times. Sudden death grief, as is all grief, is a horribly lonely journey that each one has to travel on their own timeline. Sudden death leaves things unsaid and worse yet, things said that you regret. It is our own unique hell. But I know in my heart that my Bill would want me to go on and be okay, so that is what I am trying to do. But what comforts one will not comfort all, and I am so so sorry for everyone here for your loss.

"is griefshare a website like this?"

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.

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
