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.

Hi everyone, I've seen so many inspiring stories on here and can't believe how much you've all been through. I hope nobody minds me leaving this message, I'm not meaning to intrude. 

I'm a feature writer in the UK and I'd love to share your stories over here. If you have fought for justice for your loved one or had them cruelly taken away, you can email me on Phoebe.Jackson-Edwards@pressassociation.co.uk. We can tell your loved ones story and would use happy pictures of your family, it would be a real tribute to them. You would also get copy approval, so you would have it read back to you over the phone so you know exactly what will be published. If you have any other questions, I'll happily answer over email or give you a call.

James 1:13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone.

Yes anne the bond is forever.  But we need to work on it to keep it going.

Dear Danielle, I am so sad for your loss. I feel the need to tell you that God did not do this to you. Life here on earth does this along with the wicked one. The wicked one does this to us to take away anything, and everything good from us including God. I thought God took my sons, and I was angry for a very long time. Then one day I opened up the bible, and found my answer as to why God would do this to me. The passage I read was Matthew 18:14 For it is not the will of my father in heaven that the little ones should parish. There it was in black and white. It turned my world around. I have buried both of my sons, but knowing God didn't take them away from me has made a big difference in my life. Death can not sever love. I hope your tomorrow is better. Peace and Love to all

I lost my little sister. Andraya was a beautiful gift from god. We adopted her into our family whenshe was only 3 days old, and at the age of 8, it was like I got my very own living doll. Growing up, because of our age difference, we did not always see eye to eye (literally and figuratively) but I loved her with every fiber of my body because she was such a specail and unique girl. She had a rough go through her teenage years, but for the last few years, she was coming into her own, building houses with my father. When she was 16, she met a boy. He was a few years older than herself, but when we saw them together for the first time, my parents and I knew that she was done, that she had found the one that she was going to be with for the rest of her life. She was becoming a beautful and compassionate young woman and we were starting to get to know one another more. The best day of my life was on August 3, 2013 when I was my sister's maid of honour at her wedding to her long term beau. Then...a short 19 days later, my little sister was killed in a head on collision. She was only 21 years old. The other driver was 17 and was texting and driving. She got away with it with no reprocussions. Meanwhile, I have lost my gift from god, and I am so incredibly sad. I am trying to come to terms with the foreverness of the situation....that I will never see her smile in person again, and I will never hear her laugh, and I will never feel her arm around me again as I did on her wedding day when she hugged me for the photos. My heart is broken and although I have been having a lot of good days, today I feel broken and unable to cope. I am sitting at work fighting back the tears and wondering why....why her? Why did god have to take back his gift so soon? Why was she not able to live a long and happy life? I know I will never get the answers to my questions, and even if I did, it would not bring her back. I just feel so broken today.

sudden is very tough all of you hang in there the first 6 months or so just try to absorb the shock believe me.  You never feel the real pain about sudden until it happens.  best to all susan, kary etc.

I lost my best friend and the love of my life on 2/19. We were only together for 7 months and lived together for 2 of those months. I miss Tom so bad, the shirt that he wore to the hospital on the night that he passed i brought it home and put his pillow in it and I sleep with it every night. Tom took me to my first Daytona Bike Week last Oct. and there he bought me a ring and we became one and I haven't took it off. I still cry and I ask him everyday to just come and hold me and tell me that he doesn't hate me for letting him pass and that he still loves me. I am empty and so lost and don't know which way to go'

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
