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.

Good for you Jim. I am glad you were able to find someone. I just found out I was pregnant a week ago. And while I am super excited, this pregnancy is unlike the others. I have never experienced a pain like the pain of losing my daughter before. And while I really want this baby, I still wish I could have my little Ivy back.

Jim, I am glad you are finding a way to love again. I am not near ready to try that. What caught my attention in your post was that you found the second year worse than the first. I have been feeling that as well. This Christmas was so much worse and I have been struggling to understand that. It feels strange because it should be getting better not worse, but then again I know it is a roller coast ride so I need to accept the ups and downs. I hope you are on the up side now and with the help of your new love you stay on that path.

A new year now, and a new start for me. The 2nd year was much more difficult than the first year, but here I am on Jan 7th, married to a wonderful woman who is the promise of God.
The pain really came back when I fell in love again. After 25 years of feeling love only for Nanette, it was bitter sweet to feel those feelings for a different woman.
It was extremely sad as memories of Nanette filled my head each time feeling of love covered me.
Fortunately, God blessed me with a woman I could be honest with and discuss this with.
My in laws from Nanette's family struggle with it, and I understand that, but I cannot live life on memories of a marriage that no longer exists.
We still have major hurdles to clear before we can "blend" our families, but we will wait upon the Lord.

Hi Berna. How very tragic to have that happen to your son. I hope they are able to catch who did this and throw them in jail and toss the key. So so so sorry this has happened.

"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.
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
