About my Loss:
In the span of 8 months between 2005 and 2006, my dad, grandpa, grandma, and mom passed away, in that order. I was fourteen when my dad had a heart attack, and fifteen by the time my mom died. We were a very close-knit family. My mom struggled with cancer since I was 12 or 13. My dad had a massive heart attack - probably from all the stress and unhealthy coping mechanisms - and died six days later. Then, his parents - they were of a ripe old age, but I think it was the grief that drove them over the edge. They died two weeks apart, a couple of months after my dad. My mom planned all the funerals while getting chemo; not completely on her own, we had supportive family and friends, but it took a toll. She died 8 months after my dad.

I'm 20 now. It's taken me a while to address my feelings - and they've been coming out in weird ways. I've seen quite a few therapists. Right now, I'm between anger and acceptance, it seems; as in I've worked past the anger, and close to acceptance. In any case, I'm finally crying. I'm in a committed relationship and we've been together for about 2 and a half years; I've found myself externalizing a lot of my emotions and being unrealistic about my expectations. I've felt alienated for a long time, and I've never been part of any kind of grief support network.

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
