Marti, we all grieve a little different, but I can relate to some of the things you said.  I know how you feel, but I want you to know that little by little it will ease up.  It doesn't go away, but it won't be there constantly.  In the beginning (91/2 months ago) I thought I would not survive myself and I really didn't want to, but now when I don't have such an awful day I am able to thank God for giving me a break.  My son had a little girl 21 months old when he died and we are so grateful to have her, but it also breaks our hearts to know that she will not have her daddy.  Feel your pain, cry, scream, pray.  You have a right to feel whatever you are feeling.  Blessings, Ann

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

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
