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.

People are horrible, I don't know what worse people ignoring you or saying stupid things. Iv even been told I'm still young and plenty of time to meet someone else!! I'm surprised I not done for murder, I have that much anger in me. Also I think I'm going mad as still can't except she has gone, when I'm out I'm praying she will be in the house when I get back and when I'm in I keep looking for her to walk down the path. Everyday it's like it's just happened again when I realise she not here . Pleae tell me this hell goes away

I wouldn't wish this on anybody but people are so idiotic. I have had 6 week off work with broken ankle then this happened, iv no Money and self employed so have to go back. People seem to think that means I'm ok and moved on. I don't know how I'm driving from a to b it must be aotomatic. I just want it all to stop. Seeing people on here who are the same 5 years down the line is scaring the hell out of me

Why is it so hard for people to understand what this is like. Someone just rang and asked if I'm feeling a bit better now and a little less sad!!ffs this time 4 weeks ago the love of my life and my whole world died in my arms. So sorry if I'm not recovering quick enough but I just want to die as well.

2017 Valentine's Day, my soulmate of 12 years had a heart attack driving to work. This has been very traumatic, because it was sudden and he was only 45 years old. I wish he was given a sign or a second chance.
Everything hurts, the way he died, when he died and where he died. I cry everyday and feel like I'm going to die of a broken heart, because sometimes the pain is unbearable

Ok so here is my story, on a Thursday my mom complained of her stomach bothering her, on Friday she went to the dr he sent her for an x ray and then told her go home and take a laxative......
That was Friday, Saturday morning she called me and said this is really bothering me, I called the dr and he told me to go to the hospital. So I said I will take you and she said he told me to call the ambulance.
I said ok I am leaving right now, there was no distress in her voice she sounded fine, upon hanging up she said you know what hospital right and I said yes mom, she said I'm going to hang up now I'm getting a pain in my shoulder, I didn't think anything of it.
I got in the car and I stopped at her house thinking the hospital would take time to get her settled in and I was there maybe five minutes, I left and was pulling in the hospital parking lot when I got a call from the hospital stating "your mom is in full cardiac arrest"
do you want us to intubate her and do CPR, I was like what is that, yes of course.I went in and they tried to put in me a room and I went by them to my mom, where they were doing chest compressions, she looked like a rag doll.
I got there too late my mom died, the past 15 months have been an nightmare for me, we were very very close.
She went home to be with the Lord on 12-19-15, my life will never be the same, I have no one now.

"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
