Pennies from heaven or no?
I use to tell this story before my husband died.
I was visiting a friend and her young sons parakeet passed away while we were there. He was so upset. I told him a story about "pennies from heaven" and every time you find a penny it's from your parakeet who has joined your grandpa in heaven. His little face lit up and he said "they're togther?" I told him he would soon find a penny and he would know they were saying hello
That night we took the kids to midnight "glow" bowling. As we… Continue

Ugh
It's bad enough I have to stay on this earth after my husband is gone......then I think I found someone again and he takes his own life.
It just seems that men over 40 and after divorce just don't want a relationship and they're perfectly comfortable leading women on to believe they do just to get what they want.
I really thought time would make it easier and I could be happy again.
Time does not heal anything
Time only makes more days between meltdowns.

"I lost my husband overnight that it happened so fast that I still can’t accept that he’s gone."
My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

I know its like "Is this my life" "did this happen". Crazy for me as it has almost been a year and I still have that confusion. Take Care, Ruthie
So sorry for your loss Melanie, loosing oe loved one is hell, thinking you have found someone and then to loose them I can't comprehend and won't try to. Lost my mother few months ago just found out father has cancer don't think I can take anymore bad news this year.
Wishing you the best and some peace x
