Im just wondering if Im doing something wrong as I have not received many responses.

I lost my dog almost a year ago & at that time I joined an online support group for pet loss.

I don't mean to sound rude but I was overwhelmed by the support I received on there. And Im a little hurt & a little surpsied at the lack of support here.

As I previously stated, is there somethin else I should be doing?

Im really desperate for some words of encouragment, a little bit of advice from people who have lost a father or someone to cancer.

I hope this message is received the way I intended. And that is of course to not sound harsh

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Elizabeth,

I just saw your posts.  I wanted to say that I almost never check the blogs here, just the forums, so although I try to respond to people if I feel I have something to say, I never even saw your blog post.  There may be others like me, who look at the forums more than the blogs, in which case they may not have seen your blog post either.  So please don't feel badly that you haven't gotten more responses, it may very well just be a matter of your post not having been seen.

 

That said, I am very sorry your father died.  My father (and mother, and sister) are thankfully still alive, but my husband died, and my life ended when his did, so I do understand devastating loss.

Dear Elizabeth, sometimes we don't know what to say. I still have my father, but I have lost both of my sons. Any kind of loss is difficult. I have lost a few of my dearest pets also. Yes it is devastating even after the loss of my children. I guess I don't know much about losing a father, but I do know much about loss. Grief does not come with instructions. You just do the best you can. It's a journey that only you can decide which way to go. I write. Writing gives me a way to cope, and a way to express feelings that no one else understands. Coming here is a good step in the right direction. We are all compassionate here, but sometimes our own grief takes up what little ideas we have. You may not get the responses you would like, but I know when you write here someone is thinking of you. I'm sad you lost your father, and I am thinking of you. If I can help just drop me a note. Sincerely Anne

"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
