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.

Kali,
My grandson is now 6. His daddy, my son, passed this last January. We have asked everyone we know to write down funny, interesting, any kind of stories/memories they can think of about Kevin. We also asked them to write down what kind of man he was, how he impacted their lives. We are going to put it in an album or 3 ring-binder to give Preston when he reaches a certain age or even read to him now....depending on the content of said memory :). It most definitely does not take the place of his daddy, but at least we can give Preston a sense of him. This actually has a win/win aspect to it. Those who are remembering and writing are benefiting, we benefit by receiving just a bit more of Kevin that we didn’t have before and Preston gets to know his daddy better.
Just a thought.

Still can't believe I am a widowed single mom at the age of 27... Or that my baby girl will never get to hug, kiss or play with her daddy.

I am nearing the passing of the love of my life too. I haven't been able to listen to music for some time (anxiety attacks). It brings me to tears, but when i'm home i can and think the grieving is somewhat therapeutic. It is not easy when in public places that I hear a song that we liked together. I have to leave those situations immediately (don't want to be crying in the middle of the grocery store aisle). I feel that this is healthy, but I have to be a bit sheltered with my life. I can't go to most places that we had our great times together without panic attacks. Should i go these places and try to work through it?

Michelle,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have a 16 year old and I can not imagine loosing him - especially not now that we have lost my husband... I understand your hurt that your son will never enjoy all the hard work and accomplishments - it hurts me everyday that my husband will not get to enjoy in all that our son will accomplish. That my husband will not be able to enjoy any of his own hard work...My heart hurts for you! *hug*

"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
