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.

Dear Ellen,
You should think about your sister, a month is not a very long time at all. Its been almost two years since i lost my son, Matthew, and i think about him everyday...How could we not. We love them and they were huge parts of our lives. Never think that you are hurting your sister by thinking of her. Dont worry about what other people say, they just don't know what else to say, After my son had been dead for almost a year, someone told me i just needed to stop thinking about him and I wanted to scream, "and just how the heck do I do that?". But with a lot more profanity :). Get with people who will talk to you about the good things that happened on your life with your sister. Talk about funny stuff you two did together or just memories you have that make you smile or cry. I find the best way for me to find a smile when i am thinking of Matthew is to picture him doing something sweet or funny, or picture him in Heaven fishing with the grizzly bears or taking a rainbow ride....Our loved ones cant be pushed off our minds and they shouldnt be. Memories are what we have left and we should cherish them. I bet people are not going to care about getting a Christmas card from you this year. You take care of you and remember that your sister gets to spend her Christmas without any worries or cares of shopping, Christmas cards, or any of that...she is finally seeing that Birthday Bash that Christmas is really about. What a joy that must be for her and my Matthew <3. This is a very hard time for you and there are no rules on how to grieve, we all do that in our own way. you take your time and do it in your own way. Prayers 2 u!

Hi Betty 2 months ago i lost my mum suddenly after she came home from hospital and we are sure it's their fault. I can strongly sympathise with you, it's a horrible feeling. I now hate anyone who has anything to do with working in hospitals and specially that particulr hospital. I have such negative feelings towards their nurses in particular.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. I just joined and am hoping this helps. I am still trying to figure this site out.

Kitty - That is such a nice way to honor Kevin, he is surely smiling. Hopefully his donor organization does it, it is a cool idea.

"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
