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.

Tahnee,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I can only imagine the pain of losing someone in a traggic motorcycle accident.  As a fellow motorcycle rider, this is close to home for me.  People do not look for motorcycles and it can be scary to ride.  I lost my father due to complications during surgery in Sept 2012.  So I know the pain of loss and my heart still hurts very much.  Letting my grief out thru crying has been very helpful for me.  So my advice is to let it out and cry whenever you need to.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Take care.

Debbie

If my son was here. I would have never asked my daugther with 2 kids under 3 to move in, because they fought so much. Now that he is not here and she can not afford a place I asked here to move in. I have raised 6 kids, 3 of them were my biological kids. I am 50 and wanted to have a quiet house. Now, it is too quiet. My son still stayed with us. I knew one day he was going to get a job out of town and leave, just not now. Now that he is gone...I miss his noise, playing and talking. I don't want to raise any more kids..but I will help my daugther with her kids. I don't want her to leave everyday like she has no responsibility. My daugther is blessed to have help. I did not have any help when I was raising children.

Hi Jane,

We all grieve in our own way and there is no right or wrong.  Your loved ones that have passed probably wouldn't want you to be living the way you are.  The longer you stay at home and avoid living the harder it will be to break the cycle.  Try to keep your promise to yourself and God and take baby steps back to living.  Don't wait for your children to call you, maybe you should call them.  It is tough to lose loved ones and continue with life but it can be done.  Take care.  Thoughts and prayers.

I have also lost a child, and for me I found that it alright to grieve, its a natural response to a tragic loss.  Prayers and thoughts your way Gina.  I also lost my brother on Dec. 28. 2012 and am also still grieving.

Hi my name is Gina and I lost my only child on Dec.31, 2012 he was only 26 years old, my whole being just hurts so very much. I just dont know how to move forward, nor do I want to yet. I get mad that its already been a month. I just want time to freeze.

Buyten a year ago you loss your baby too. I loss my only son 10-2012, and we would love to have another child but we are too(50) old. So I know how you feel when you want to be needed. I don't want to replace my child, I just want my own son to start over.

Comment by A. Buyten on January 21, 2013 at 7:08pm

It gets tough and uncertain at times . Sometimes tough to get responses to my postings, so unfollow them. Just because it hurts. doing what's best for me.

Hi,

Have not been here in awhile. It brings me comfort reading comments and where people are.

I am struggling after the loss of my babe. It has been more than a year. Everyday she is in my thoughts and memories. I feel soo alone, yet I feel I want a "rock" to hold on to. As in a new lover that can hold my heart. It feels soo heavy and egotistic, if i did. Anyone have simular feelings as we try to move with life and loss?

Comment by Jim Eginoire on January 7, 2013 at 10:13pm

Michele, I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing a child.  Nanette and I lost 3 babies in miscarriages, with the last one the most traumatic. 

Nanette was 5 months pregnant and the baby was a fully developed boy.  After that she feared getting pregnant as she didn't want to lose another baby.   She is with our 3 babies now, something I drew comfort in after she died.  I pray the Lord heals your heart

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
