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.

Thank you nadia. I am sorry for your loss. My Dad would be mad to see me crying over him, but I am an emotional person. And as my brother says I wear my heart on my sleeve. I haven't felt him around me but I'm syre he is here. That is why I go to the cemetary to see him. That gives me comfort. My thoughts and prayers for you.

so sorry you are here too debra....a group none of us wish to join but gives some relief when other cannot help much.. I know the feelings ... you speak to my heart... I lost my wonderful sister my soulmate in may 2011 and to this day the pain ir raw and i often feel guilt replaying random moments of our life when I could have done things better.... at times i do not seem to be able to have a life without her but there are some better days too... i miss her every second though and the hole in my heart will never be healed....i think you dad did not want you to suffer.. he is with you around you....

Joseph, I am not giong to alievate anything for you cuz no one can. But here is my experience. I have 5 other siblings. No one was able to help me grieve. I was very alone. The boys dad is one of 8. No help there either. Not because they didn't want to, there is just nothing anyone can do. When Craiger died in 1990 ane when Kev died in 2012 the only people that helped me was people who had lost because they knew how it felt. They knew exactly how devestating, how final, how debilitating this is. I hate that you have to go through this.

"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
