About my Loss:
i lost my 30 year old son 5 years ago and am still at times overwhelmed with his death. my husband at the time did not know how to support me. i just needed to talk, he didn't want to listen (not my son's dad) while i am not as deep in grief as i was the first couple of years
i at times feel the loss as fresh as when it happened. i suppose this is normal but it would be nice to have someone to talk to who could just say, i'm sorry and i understand

Are Any Of You Angry With God?

When my son died from a drug overdose I didn't blame God. (I thought) Rationally, I knew that my son's use of drugs was far removed from the life the Lord would have him lead. But still...I was faithful to pray for God's intervention in my son's life and I believed with all my heart that everything would be okay.

Let me say also that I know that I know, without God in my life I would not have survived Ryan's death. God held me when I couldn't think or speak. When I did not want to wake up… Continue

Hi Connie and thanks for the kind and supportive words. I guess my husband just doesn't know how to provide long-term support and to be honest I don't know how to guide him. He gives me my space and allows me to grieve but it just seems at times that his actions, not words, show impatience with my continued grief. It's hard to explain...
We should not outlive our children and when we do our whole world turns into chaos...I have never felt so alone and overwhelmed in my 53 years. Only another parent grieving parent can identify with our loss and provide words of comfort and empathy.
Laura

Addie replied to Kali's discussion It was not supposed to be like this in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"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
