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.

Behind Blue Eyes poem
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
It won't be happy
It won't be pretty
The way I act
Makes me seem happy
It makes me seem fine
But look into my eyes
There you will see
See the hurt
See the hate
In my eyes I will seem distant
Look into my eyes
There you will see everything
Everything I hold inside
There you will see me
Looking for you

Hi Joseph,
I am very sorry for your loss. I believe writing down our feelings or talking about them are healing. I am fairly new to the group, my father passed Sept 21, 2012 from complications with surgery. It was sudden for all of us, never thought or talked about death as a possibility. Were you with your wife when she passed? I was on my way to the hospital when Dad passed. Hope you are doing ok and take care.

Debra, I'm so sorry for you loss! That's so sweet that you have been able to have pleasant dreams of him! I still cry when I talk to my mom and it's been nine months. I'm so happy for her but sad for me..it's confusing at times because I can be content and sad at the same time! My thoughts and prayers are with you and everybody else that is going through a terrible loss!

jb, thank you for your comment. I have had dreams of fond memories which make me smile. I have been to the cemetary almost weekly since he passed. One day I sat with him and had lunch. It was so peaceful. This week I was able to talk to him, I stilled cried but I could speak to him. I have a locket with his hair in it and a picture in my car so he can go with me always. Take care.

"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
