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.

Patricia,
I'm sad to hear how broken hearted you are. If you haven't done so already, please seek help. I have been seeing a therapist (does not prescribe meds) and she has helped me a great deal. I think it helped just to talk to someone who didn't judge me and was neutral. I'm sure the person you lost would not want you to grieve like this. Please take care of yourself.

Hi Ron,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine your experience. I can understand how you would relive it. If there is a blessing in any of that, it would be that she went peacefully. But not a good thing for you to experience. I pray with time you will be able to heal and focus on all your fond memories and not that night. I lost my father a little over 7 months ago and found that honoring/remembering him has been helpful for me. Maybe you can do some things for your wife. Sharing your feeling with others may also help you to heal. I wish you well and take care.

I am new to this site, don't know where else to turn. I lost my wife on march 15 2013. I watched her health get worsefor the past year, in and out of the hospital. She was born with a bad heart,and also had diabetes and I was aware of that. We were working to get her ready for heart valve replacement. She wound up getting an infection in her foot and had most of her foot amputated.Somehow the infection never went away. They called in the mrsa infection. When she came home for the last time she had balloned up by about 75 pounds, couldn't walk without a walker and then only a few steps. We were injecting anti-biotics and blood thinners daily.
Her last night, she was very upbeat and felt well. We went to bed and she rolled over and started to fall out of bed, I caught her but couldn't wake her. Called 911 and did cpr till they got here, but she was already gone.
I can't stop reliving that night over and over again the pain gets to be unbearable. I know it will never stop ,butIwishIcould learn how to cope with it.

I lost my dad three and half years ago - he was murdered (stabbed over six times) my my step brother who was addicted to meth. He never was put in prison for this. his mother got him out of it all. (My step mom of course).
Anyways. I try to move forward but I fall behind alot emotionally (of course only inside) and I just feel so betrayed and empty when I think how my dad was hurt so badly and died like that......

"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
