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.

So sorry to hear Tracy. How sad. My dad passed suddenly in June. And it still seems like yesterday. I miss him more each day. Holidays were the hardest. Just seemed like a motion to go through. You're not alone in your journey of loss. Almost six months have somehow passed and the pain is still there.

Oh Mercy ...I feel your pain. I am having a very hard time today. I don't want to let this year go. It seems so final now....this day seems worst than the months following his passing. Hate this so much.

Christianlee I thought I was the only one who felt this way about leaving 2011 behind. I feel like am leaving behind the last year of my moms life, in fact, I posted this last night. I miss mom so much, its like an open wound that will not heal. I hate that I cannot call and wish her happy new year in three languages. I took so much forgranted.

I'm not ready for 2011 to be over. My dad died in June and I have this feeling that dad will be forgotten. I don't want to move past 2011.....it seems I want to stay in last summer.....and not move forward

It got really bad for me about a month before a year. The few days week before was really sad but the weekend before I was on a men's retreat that went a long way to helping me heal.
Christmas was very difficult this year. Last year I was numb and still in shock and really just emotionally dead. This year I could feel again and it proved to be painful. This past Wednesday morning I was at her sister's house where we spent Christmas, and she and I talked for several hours and shed many tears.

"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
