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.

hello to all. Today marks the 12 week mark of the last time my life was "normal" and "happy". I lost my husband of 16 years on Memorial Day. The Saturday prior to the holiday was so good. The Sunday before the holiday was not. Then I came home on the holiday to find my husband, my best friend gone -- -  This past week has been so incredibly difficult. I miss him so very much! I wish so much that I could go back in time and change at all! I hope and pray everyday that my husband is at peace and that he is in such a better place than we are. I just wish there was a way to know that for sure. I am so empty and so loney even though I have an amazing group of friends for support and I also have my incredible 16 year old son who is so strong. My son starts his sophmore year in 2 days and I just know my husband would be so proud.

I am so sad, lonely, mad and in incredible denial over this whole ordeal!

Today we bury my fiance's ashes... I wish we could have done it right after the funeral but his mom wants to bury him with his grandma. My stomach is in knots and even though I know he is gone it hurts so much. Our daughter is too young to know what is going on today which in a way is a good thing but I wish she had more time to get to know him so she could remember him...

Today was the last time I saw my son alive one year ago. Please say a prayer for Danny and my family. We are in pain.

It's coming close to a year that my babe has passed. I am adapting to panic attacks without meds. But I am having a hard time because these are the months that we met and September when she passed. She had a son that passed in these months too. And I remember what a hard time she had. Now I know what she was going through. Not easy and the hardest thing ever in my life.

Comment by Kali Grainger on August 11, 2012 at 1:01pm

Still can't understand how or why this happened to us.... We were just starting our lives together, had a beautiful baby girl. Now he is just gone and I never get to kiss him or touch him again.. my daughter never gets to know her daddy. I feel sick inside all day everyday and my heart hurts in a way I could never describe. If I didn't have my baby girl I don't know where I would be...

Haven't been on for awhile but it is only 15 days until one of my sons murderers gets sentenced. I have been a huge ball of emotion, anger, fear and just plain missing my son. I miss his strength that he brought to our family, i miss his smile, his laugh and his beautiful bear hugs..... i cry so easy and it has been almost 2 yrs. It seems like the shock is gone but the pain is still so fresh in my heart. I dont think i will ever stop missing him. i know i won't!!! My son was also shot 7 times, it is terrible that you,samantha, had to witness that...

I lost my 17 Year old brother just 2 weeks ago. I cant sleep, i feel like my family is ruined. Its so hard burying a younger sibling. Im only 20 and i wish it could have been me. My brother was walking along the side of the railroad tracks listening to his ipod and was hit and killed on impact. It was my mothers birthday and 2 days before his 18th birthday. Its so hard to hear ppl say things like "stupipd he was on the railroad tracks anyways" or whatever they wanna say. ppl are so.judgemental. but my grandma died just 17 days before this and austin couldnt sleep Well since her death. The whole thing just.creeps me out because i feel like he was sleep walking or hallucinating due to lack of sleep. But well never really know. An undercover Cop even came to my house because the cornor didnt know whether to call it accident or suicide. Even though he wasnt mangled just had some broken bones in his skull (most ppl who kill themselves thru train walk down the middle of the tracks or lay on the tracks). The conductor, the only witness even said he was on the side and looked back right at last minute. I dont know How to move on with life.

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
