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.

I didnt write this, but I love it....
When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence...a quiet sadness. A longing for one more day...one more word...one more touch...we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good bye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again someday in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean goodbye...

I have friends that I completely trust who have experienced the other side. It is there. It is beautiful. And I can't wait...but in His time, not mine. God Bless you all. I pray for Peace for you.
Please, God, help us accept this and help us learn how to live with this hole that our loved one's passing has left.
By the way, Mr Bartlett, beautiful, meaningful, wonderful, insiteful poem.

Good morning Kitty,
Sorry to hear about your sons. It must be hard to grasp what happened. And like you said it is tough no matter how you lose someone. Similar to your father, my father passed suddenly after surgery. And if they would have revived him, he wouldn't have bben the same person or been happy with needing help. He was still sedated, so it was peaceful for him. I just miss him so much!
A friend has read a book about the spiritual word and she said it sounds so wonderful there that she is looking forward to going.
Take care.

Hi Kitty - Just wanted to send you {hugs} and let you know I read your comment and my heart goes out to you. The last sentence you wrote touched my heart. I have been bitter and my faith is rocked just like my world. Just wondering where my husband is and if there really is a place. I used to believe, but its been tough lately. Thanks for your words of faith and bless you. There is really nothing anyone can say, but "things" touch us in all kinds of ways.
Karen

Good morning,
Both of my sons were killed in tragic accidents. my first preference would be that it never happened....of course. But, I don't know that I could sit and watch them die of a disease where there is no cure and the pain was so terrible and there was no hope. But then, the way they died, there was no chance of possible cure or help either. I don't know which is better or worse, all I know is it all hurts. My dad died 4 years ago of a massive heart attack. Had he survived, he would have not been able to care for himself. He would've been in so much misery, at least that is what the doctor's said. It was better for him that he went so fast. Plus, if Heaven is so awesome, why do we fight so hard to not go there? In my book my boys were too young to reap that great reward, but who am I to say. I am rambling and I am sorry. I don't have the answer, but I do know they are in a wonderful, beautiful place. And the world is not.

"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
