Lost

As I write this I am getting ready to go to my ex-girlfriend's funeral. I lost my ex-girlfriend on March 22 she was a recovering addict's who had a relapse. She died from a heroin overdose. We had recently started seeing each other and talk together again and I discussed the possibility of getting back together, she overdosed on a Sunday afternoon and I was supposed of been there with her that evening. I have all kinds of emotions that I'm feeling, guilt been a huge one. I know it wasn't my fault that she did this , it was the disease of being an addict. I am just trying to find ways to cope. I have no one to talk to that actually understands how I feel. I get a lot of, "I'm sorry". I appreciate everybody who tells me that, but it's starting to get to me.

It seems like every day gets a little bit easier, but little things will just set me off and I will lose it.

So far I have not lost anyone close to me like you have but understand in a way what you are trying to cope with. I want to suggest a movie that I have watched many times that might help you.

It is called "28 Days". It is worth a try. I am very sorry for your loss.

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.
