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.

Worst xmas ever, I didn't do much after we opened the presents. Nadia; I know the feeling; I too love my little girl but sometimes am in so much emotional pain that I feel she would do better witout me. I don't even feel like I've mourned my brother who died just one year before mom......So many raw emtions to deal with, I've pushed many of them aside since I would totally lose it if I tried to deal with them now. I'm just so glad Christmas is over and I don't have to keep lying to everyone how I had a good time.

Christianlee, The night before my husband died he was in a drug induced coma to give him relief from the pain. Our children and grandchildren were all there with us. When it was time for them to leave my 10 year old grandson sobbing, said, I cant say goodbye to Papa. I just cant. It was one of the most painful saddest thing to see. Even the kids knew they would never see their papa again, and I could do nothing to help him or my son deal with that. I only had enough energy to deal with what was happening with my husband. And yes, your mom is feeling so alone now, I know, I am all alone too.

Getting ready to spend this first Christmas in 44 years without the love of my life. I don' t know how to do this without him. My son is coming tonight to take me tomorrow to be with my children and grandchildren and I guess that is how we will all get throught this. Leaving here I feel like I am leaving part of me behind. I feel like I am deserting him. This I'm sure is probably going to be one more of the difficult steps I take alone but for my family I will do it. My thoghts are with all of us who struggling through this time. My hope is for some peace in our hearts for the New Year.

I lost my husband of 30 years to a tragic accident, he was trimming tree branches and fell and hit his head on some rocks at base of tree and died instantly Oct. 22, 2010. I was waiting for him to come home so we could eat supper and my son walked in my door and had to tell me that his dad was dead, I was in shock and didnt believe it at first, how could this happen? I talked to him just a few hours earlier, then I never saw him again, the fall was so bad that my son said no, not to see him like that so I would not remember him that way. He had no health problems, he was in good health and he always stayed in shape, just a tragic accident. Our youngest son was married 1/1/11 and his dad was not there for him. So sad without my husband the Love of my Life and my best friend. I miss him dearly. I think of him every day and I have not moved anything of his left it where he put it that friday before he left to go trim tree branches.

"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
