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.

Danny,
As long as you are trying, you can't ask more of yourself at this moment.

Welcome Patricia and Danielle,
This group and therapy has helped me a lot. I lost my father suddenly Sept of 2012. I also do things to honor and remember him. Currently I am raising money for MDA Rife for Life 27 in his memory because he participated with this charity for 20+ years.
My best advice is do what feels right for you, even if it seems strange. My father's name was Kermit and he had the nickname "Frog". I bought small statues of colored frogs to represent my siblings, husband and nephews and placed them on Dad's headstone base. This way we are always with him. I even found a frog on a motorcycle to represent Dad. I have a picture of Dad in a key chain that is always in my Jeep so he goes everywhere with me.
Sorry, I got to rambling there. Prayers to you both and take care.

Thank you Patricia and Connie. Every day it gets a little easier and a little harder at the same time. So many conflicting emotions, but the comfort that I receive from other peoples comments and stories keep me going. Love and prayers to you both!

Thank you Connie K. I am hoping to find comfort here just hearing other people's stories and words of courage/strength. It has only been 12 weeks and I know it is a long road ahead with many highs and lows. Sending love and prayers right back, and to Danielle too.

Welcome Patricia and Danielle - I hope you can find some support and comfort here. A sudden loss is so hard. The shock seems so unreal yet all encompassing. I am so sorry for the loss of your sisters. Each day is it's own journey and we have to take them one at a time. Sending you love and prayers.

I am a new member, and hoping to find some comfort here. I lost my sister on Dec. 20, 2013. She was my best friend all through life. She was only 62, and not ill -- she died suddenly of what they think was a blod clot in her lung leading to a heart attack. I miss her so much.
I have gone to a grief counselor and read many books, and prayed and prayed for strength. The pain is less frequent, but still comes and I cry and cry. I just can't believe I won't see her on earth again. As the spring flowers start their growth, and the sun shines a little more frequently I thought it would get better. But I miss her even more.

"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
