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.

JB I am so sorry you are hurting so much right now. I have lost many loved ones in my life. My mom, my dad, my brother, nephew, and so many others but the latest was my son. He died on September 3rd from a fall. I don't think we ever get over the loss of a loved one, some how in time it gets a little easier. I admit tonight has been a very painful night, it felt like I had a hole in my heart and it was hard to breath. I hold on to the hope that someday I will see my son, and all my loved ones. Sometimes I just have to let myself cry and feel the pain. I have to remember though, that at least for me, the pain is not always so intense. That this too shall pass, that I don't have to worry about tomorrow, I just have to do this today. I pray we will all be able to get some relief from our pain, and someday be able to hold on to the happy memories to help us through. Hugs and prayers to all. Robin

I agree JB a broken leg is much easier to heal than a broken heart. I don't think that we get over things totally. I know that I will always have a pain in my heart from my brother and this will not completely heal till we meet again. I hope you start to feel a little better, death is such a hard thing to deal with and it sounds like you had a really great father. I can't imagine lossing my father, he and I are best friends as well as father and son. sounds like this is the case with your father and you. If there is anything I can do to help you please do not hesitate. You and your father are in my prayers. Take care and hold on tightly to the joy that your father brought you. Be well.

JB sounds like you had a wonderful and caring father. I think how hard things are really depend on how close you are to the person and their feelings. I know when my grandmother passed it was hard but nothing compared to my brother. Every situation is different and everyone is different. The one good thing we can all look to is the grace of the Divine and how we can harness those graces to heal our wounds and to help others recover from traumma. My the Grace of our Lord be with you JB and may everything be as it aught to be. Be strong and realize that the Lord takes us when we are ready and when it is most likely that He is able to guide us and when our energy is most in tune with the Will of the Divine. You and your family will be in my prayers. Tears sometimes can be medicine to the soul. As I said earlier, we are blessed with this line to discuss how we feel and what we are going through...

JB it might be good just to be there for your mom. I know my parents have been terribly affected by my brother's death and I simply try to listen to them and comfort them when they are sad. I know the first three or four weeks after my brother passed I was tearful all the time. I think once I saw the grave and realized that he really is gone, at least physically, I came to terms with the fact that he is in a much better place and that we will see each other again in the glory of the Divine. It was really hard, I do think that if you can just hold your mom, give her as much love as you can and cry with her that would be one thing that will be helpful. My parents and I shed a lot of tears together and it did seem to be therapuetic. I still walk up to my folks house and if there is someone in the front chair I will think that it is my brother and am saddened and distraught when I realize it is not my brother.
You certainly will be in my prayers and I hope that you saddness is lessened as time and grace flow. It is so good to be able to chat with other folks out there that have similar situations and we can encourage each other and lift each other up. There is hope for humanity. Take care and be well.
In Christ
Collin

"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
