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.

Support is with you Kadie Meyer.  Sudden is hard to absorb for all of us.

Comment by Debra A. Whitemaine on February 19, 2014 at 2:28pm

Kadie Meyer,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I lost my father and know that pain but losing a partner is different.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I lost my boyfriend suddenly on December 17th 2013 in a tragic car accident. I feel so lost without him. He was my best friend. My one true love. It is just so unfair. I wish I could wake up and it all be a nightmare.

Staceranger, it will probably be a mix of pain and a source of comfort. i'm not expecting the pain to ever go away if that helps you.  If it becomes a mix, I'd be happy.  Thanks for posting. best

StaceRanger,

Everyone's time frame for this is different.  Grieving is a process and does take time.  It has been 1 yr and 5 months since my father passed and I am doing better.  But I still and probably always will have times of pain/sorry that he isn't hear.  I have found comfort in honoring Dad.  Right now I am collecting donations for MDA Ride for Life in his memory.  He participated in MDA for over 20 yrs.  Just do what feels right to you and don't be ashamed if you need to get help thru counseling, it helped me.  Take care.

At what point do memories go from being painful (good and/or bad), and change to being a source of comfort.  It will be a year next month, and I still have intense pain with memories of her.  When I get together with her family, they want to talk about her and laugh and tell stories, and it is just too painful for me.  I fake my way through it, but I truly want to get to the place where memories of her and us feel good and become a source of joy.

Ali what a horrific ordeal you have had to deal with. I am so sorry for your losses. I understand - I am just entering the 2nd year of losing my 17 year old son - my only. It definitely still feels like yesterday. Sending love and prayers your way

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
