Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
First post. Not sure where to start.
The last 6 weeks have been overwhelming. I will briefly provide some information.4 friends and family members have passed away in the last 6 weeks. This week I learned of my friend of almost 40 years has 6 months to live. My children from my first marriage want nothing to do with me. My father will not take care of himself physically and will not quit drinking.
At the same time, I am blessed with a wonderful wife and friend. She has been supportive of my bi-polar depression and other health issues.
I just feel overwhelmed and alone as I process my feelings. Anger, sadness, being numb, tuning out friends and the rest of the world. My job is very stressful this time of year. I did write downs some thoughts and feelings.
Not sure what I am looking here for. Maybe a thought or two that has helped.
Thank you

Hi GM Akehurst.... Sounds like you have a good reason to be depressed..... most of us on here are distraunt in losing a loved one... for me it was my son of 14 years. I came on after 2 1/2 years of feeling alone in my emotions... it has helped to chat with people who are in the same boat... hope it helps you too.

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.
