I lost my Dad June 12th

This is my first loss of someone close to me.  I'm overwhelmed, was out of state for 2 weeks and have to start resuming my life today in a few hours.  I don't feel ready.  Maybe you never feel ready for a long time.  Ours was a conflicted relationship.  He wrote me a letter asking my forgiveness which I thought might free me from some of what I'm feeling.  It was a perfect letter.  I don't feel like I should drive, but I have to.  Almost 3 weeks and it is still just too new.  I'm here seeking support and will give that back freely.   J

I am sorry for your loss. No words can explain or reason what you are feeling. Your emotions will take you all over the place, it is a complete state of confusion and nothing will get you back to normal. I will pray for you and just know it is a process and you will have to find your way via various avenues to keep you going. I am sorry if this is not sugar coated but its reality. I was close to my dad and he passed away March 4th and i still bounce back and forth with my emotions. I miss him dearly and try to figure how how to deal at times and at other times i am okay. So may God give you the strength to endure and send you support where you need it. Love and God bless ya, mel

"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

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
