This week is the 2 year anniversary of my Dad's passing.

Hi everyone. This is really a tough week for me. My Dad passed away on the 12th of July. Thankfully I broke down and went to see someone because not only had I lost myself I almost lost my husband. I realized I needed to go and talk about this to a professional. My husband just doesn't understand grief and depression. Hopefully the antidepressants the doctors have put me on will start working soon. I did realize that I was being selfish in my grief and instead of enjoying my family that is still here with me I was longing to be with the ones who have passed. I honestly realized how selfish I was being. I just pray that things will be ok and that I will start to feel better soon. Thanks for listening.

Which antidepressant did they put you on? And is it helping? You can vent here anytime. I know that venting, journaling, posting pics, etc. does help. I have been on antidepressants myself and I guess they take the edge off, but they are not an end-all be-all if you know what I mean. Support from others that understand is really what I have found to help. (((((hugs)))))

Melissa, Its really bad news that you have lost your dad or husband. I feel so sorry for that. I know its difficult time for you and difficult to deal with this grief. When we lost our loved one, its the worst time in our life. We can't think forward at this time.
I lost my uncle 3years ago and its really hurting me. I loved him so much. Death is the reality of life because its the law of nature. Everyone going to heaven one day. My prayers and condolences for you..........

"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
