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.

Where did you find the test? i havent seen that one.
You are right about being able to vent here because we understand that everybody's journey is ok. Nobody grieves the same way.

My dad told me that once. "He's gone, Kitty. Forget him." I simply said "Not gonna happen, Dad." He was kind enough to drop it.
I feel so bad for you. She was/is here. She is very special. She is very real. They obviously dont know how to deal with your pain or theirs. Too bad they don't know ignoring it will not make it go away.
I have so many thoughts going through my head right now, too many to jot down here.
I am trying to figure out what they are trying to do. I am sure your family loves you and are trying to do what they think is right and it just isn't.
Death messes with everyone. I am so sorry they are choosing this way to handle it. I am going to pray for peace for you and your family.

Yeah, it was her family. My friends have said that too but it's mainly been her family! I just don't get people sometimes!

We always hear "Life is Short"... which is true for those who die at a young age or before they have reached old age... But for those of us who are left behind life seems so long...

I don't know if anyone is interested in this but I found this website, that makes bears or pillows out of loved ones clothing..highly considering having a bear made out of one of my mom's scrubs!

Kitty, I couldn't agree more! I am very happy for her, that she is no longer hurting anymore and is happy and peaceful..just sucks that her family pretend that she didn't exist or something..it's like a hush hush, don't talk about it type of thing.

"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
