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.

take it slow Rachel. Everybody is too involved in their own life today. I just read the web and books related to this to take it one day at a time. And try to find a grief counselor if you can.

Is anyone awake? I can't sleep anymore. I'm good if I get 2 or 3 hours a night. Then I'm up for the rest of the night.
I'm beginning to feel cursed. My only child is gone, my mother has Altzhiemers, my dad is getting old,
my boyfriend left me, and all my friends are gone and living their lives. My brother and sisters all live in different cities and they have their children and grand children. It's so hard to read or hear about how my so called friends are out having a good time with each other. And with the same breath they tell me, "I'm there for you". But they're not. They're not calling or inviting. I'm texting or calling them. And then I get to hear what they're doing. In all reality I have no true "friend" or "friends". I just want to die. I hurt so bad from a completely BROKEN & SHARTERED HEART!!!! I feel like Job. I feel God is gone, he abandoned me. My prayers are just void to Him. I don't understand????

Another sleepless night. I still can't believe my child is gone. And I still can't have a good cry for her. In my mind I just feel she's at her home in San Antonio (3 hours away from my home town). What's wrong with me??? It's so hard being here in my home alone. I have no one to lean on. My friends are becoming more and more distant. They think I'm crazy. One even told me I was acting silly. And I needed to accept it and move on. Like its that simple???? I was so hurt. (If they only knew!!!!!). If they only knew what WE are ALL going through. I feel so very much ALONE.

Oh Rachel, I'm so sorry for your loss. Of course it's not fair. Life is not fair. None of us is promised a tomorrow. I know how scary this profound loss can be, and I tried for weeks and weeks to understand why a tiny flu bug killed my husband. Here's an idea for the wedding....have a short ceremony where bride and groom light a candle in memory of your daughter, to celebrate her life and assure everyone that she is there in spirit. Your pastor or chaplin could suggest the exact words to use. We cannot understand these great mysteries of life and death. We will never, ever "get over" our losses, we will never, ever forget them. I promise you will not always feel this way. I pray that the God of your understanding helps you get through this terrible time. Feel the love of this grieving community. We are all dealing with this awful pain, but together we can find comfort. Many blessings to you.

How? Why? Why? Why? How am I suppose to get thru this? I hurt so much. I'm so scared to let go. I'm so scared to give into believe she is really gone.. My daughters best friend's wedding is quickly approaching. She was suppose to be her maid of honor. All it does is remind me how she will not be here for that day. Nor will I ever experience the joy of her wedding day. It's not fair. She was my only baby. My only child. She was to young. All of our children were to young to die. It's not fair!!!! It's not fair!!!! Please, please someone help me to understand.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
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.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
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
