Profile Information

About Me:
I am a widow of 7 years who has lost so many people recently - people are either rude about it or keep pointing it out to me as if I wouldn't know. The 2 losses that hurt the most were sudden my husband seven years ago in a farm accident and now my daughter in a car accident
About my Loss:
I lost my 27 year old daughter in a traffice accident 3 weeks ago In the space of 1 year I lost one of my best friends, my mother, my mother in law, my brother, my sister-in-law, but this last is almost more than I can understand, it hurts so much. She was a wonderful person and we were extremely close in our relationship

Pat. my daughter was married but had no children. Like your Angela my Angela was a very loving person and very giving of herself. I am just so lost without her...I just can't begin to imagine how you are holding up grieving for your husband and daughter. I am just so tired all the time, physically, mentally and emotionally. Write anytime...Laura

Laura - my daughters name was also Angela, she was a registered nurse who worked with the elderly. She was such a loving person. Do you have any grand children? My Angie was single. I do have an older daughter who is presently pregnant. She tried for years to have a baby - it was our Christmas miracle. then Jan. 7 arrived. I lost my husband on Dec. 23, 2002. This was the first Christmas we were all happy. Angie found her dad the night he was killed from a tractor accident on our farm. She always suffered with the thought she should have been able to save him. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense at all. Pat

Pat, it seems like you are doing just fine with the computer part of this...I have come to believe my heart will ache forever and I will just need to learn to live with it. There are times I feel like my daughter is just a phone call away then a cold, hard slap brings me back to reality. We are required to redefine who we are...at least that has been the case for me. For 33 years I was Angela's mom and my world revolved around her...I am so lost now and the road is difficult. You will be okay but I know it just doesn't seem that way right now. "One day, one hour, one minute, one second, one breath at a time".

Pat, there are no words to convey my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your daughter...my only child, my 33 year old daughter, died as the result of a 4 wheeler accident on May 25, 2009. Please know you are not alone although I know it feels that way...there are so many of us here grieving the loss of our children. Finding this website was a Godsend for me; I hope it will be for you too. I have found there are no guidelines to grieving, we all grieve in our own way and in our own time. Most importantly take care of yourself and allow yourself to grieve. Come back as often as you need to share, vent, etc. we have all done it and I for one continue to do so.
Sincerely,
Laura

"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
