Losing ground

On Sept 13, 2006 I lost someone who was like my brother secondary to complications from chemo. We had to make the painful decision to take him off life support when it was obvious there was nothing else that could be done. He died at 3:45 PM. The next morning I received the news that my father had been killed in a car accident at 11:45 pm on Sept 13. My family had been trying to contact me during the night but after 7 days at the hospital exhaustion set in and I did not hear my phone. With the anniversary looming I was feeling more of a sense of dread and have found that a lot of the feelings I bury by working like a fool have recently been dug up. Then today my 14.5 year old dog that I have had since she was a baby became acutely ill and had to be euthanized. I don't know how I am going to get through this week. I have to work all weekend and put my game face on but just don't know how I am going to pull this off

That is a lot to handle, but sometimes it is better to work and by doing so, you work through it. If you need someone to talk to, you can send me a message. I'll be praying that you will make it through the weekend. I think we have all had these times when we have felt that we couldn't make it through, but you will make it through. ((((((((((many hugs)))))))))))).

Wow. I can completely understand how you are feeling. I had my uncle, my great-uncle, my great-aunt and then my dad all pass within one year. I am here for you to talk to...at any time. Truly I am still miserable, and currently just signed up for a grief support group near by. I'm really excited for it. I feel like it will be really good for me to be around others who know what I'm going through. That is why I am here...to help others and help myself.

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.
