Profile Information

About Me:
I live in CT and own a production and publishing business.I am a former paramedic so prior to my own family's sudden extinction, I was pretty used to people dying suddenly.

I'm not going back over a lifetime to count all the people I've know who have ever died like many people here, that seems a bit self indulgent as everyone will have loss over the years. I would think the purpose of this group would be the exact death(s) that brought you here or losses in a short time, not several years.
About my Loss:
In the past 15 months, my Mother, Father, Brother, Aunt and dog that I had for 14 years died. Everyone died a few months apart from each other from illness. I have no family of my own.

So sorry to welcome you to our grief site. A brochure that I found very helpful is: When Someone You Love Dies

Under the subheading, Releasing My Grief it states:

     Talking can be a helpful release. Following the death of all ten of his children, as well as some other personal tragedies, the ancient patriarch Job said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life. I will give vent to [Hebrew, “loose”] my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” (Job 1:2, 18, 19; 10:1) Job could no longer restrain his concern. He needed to let it loose; he  had to “speak.” Similarly, the English dramatist Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth: “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”

I have had multiple losses as well and talking has really helped me. I know that we are not friends, but we may turn out to be as we all go through our losses, memories and feelings. Together we can cope. I will listen anytime you need to talk.

Brenda

"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
