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 read in other posts but I share because this exactly how I feel since may 2011 when I lost my wonderful sister and soulmate. I do not know how to have life without her... There are times I had no little ones or my parents so that I could sleep and no wake up.... just sleep for ever.. I would not do anything but every day is a struggle. still raw and often getting harder as I see all other moving on and I am left looking at her beautiful pictures wishing she could call me like she did...to have our times...I wish I head told her more more often how much she is too me... I know I should be getting hope and some happiness from my little ones but I look at them and feel my heart tearing in a million pieces because they will never know how much she loved them.. too young... their memories will fade ... she was the best sister I could have..

Lately I can't stop worrying that I could be destined to die early as well and then our baby girl would be left without either of her parents... and if not that then I could be destined to lose her as well... We never know when tragedy will strike and I am terrified of that happening. I want nothing more than to be with Chris again but I could never leave our baby girl... and I could not survive if I lost her...

Kali, I don't think that, that's keeping you from healing because I have accepted that my mom is never coming back, do I like it, definitely not, but it has been accepted and I'm not doing great at all, my depression and anxiety is severely bad, not to mention that I have a lot of flashbacks with it and lack of sleep. Just because you accept something, doesn't mean it's perfect. You are just going through the grieving process and I hear that the first year or two is always hard! Thoughts and prayers are with you and Kitty..trust me, I'm angry too!

Kevin has been gone since January and I still don't want to believe it. I call Katie, his fiancee', and tell to look behind all the doors cuz you know how he likes to play jokes on people. I just want to scream at people to STOP! Quit saying that! There is no way he is dead! I keep saying "Kevin is" not Kevin was". It is just BS. I already lost Craig in 1990, why again? Why another son? How am I going to keep my other 4 boys safe? How am I going to keep my grandchildren safe? How am I going to get them through this pain of losing their friend/brother? How is it fair that 6 yr old Preston has to go through life without his best friend, his dad? Why did my youngest son have to witness both deaths? There is no hell because hell is right here on earth.
oh my but i am angry.

I know very well that Chris is gone and not coming back... but a part of me won't accept it. Part of me keeps holding on to the idea that he will come back someday... I feel like this is holding me back from healing... He isn't my fiance anymore because we can never get married..

Jeeze, I am still having such a hard time. It is in cycles. Some days or weeks are ok, then suddenly it feels as if it just happened. Still dealing with anxiety. That is very unpredictable too. Right now I just need some relief so I can do things and try to experience some fun. I haven't felt that for too long.

Craig, my 9 yr old son, died 22 years ago, May 24, 1990. From that tragedy, I know the time comes when the despair becomes less and less and the easy breathing becomes more and more. Part of what I have been feeling is guilt that I let go of Craig as much as I did. That just compounds the grief of losing Kevin this last January. I am more angry this time because there is a 'this time'. Because I know from experience what I am going through is 'normal' and that while the pain will never go away, it will lessen. No mom or dad should ever have to feel this pain in the first place, let alone twice. I am just angry.

"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
