I guess for all of us and me too is to hopefully we able be with our love ones soon... for me i am hoping get illness as i am already have diabetic i am eating not good food bc i dont care n hopefully be with him soon i don't think waiting till your time comes ...its too long to wait or till a person get god forbid car accident or illness or whatever n goes sooner then expected... some ppl passaway whatever it may be. but living and waiting till your time comes and then be with your spouse as ppl would say... is too long for us to wait we all want to be with them right now.

Dear, Darlene. Sorry for your loss.

I also go through the time when emotional pain turns into physical. It is so scary as I am alone and nobody can help. I keep telling myself - you must get up, you must start looking for a job, but my body is having its own schedule. I look scary, I feel sick. I cannot believe 3 months ago I was active, beautiful, ambitious, professional woman. No more... Even hard to collect my thoughts, to concentrate now

Depression hits everyone sooner or later, suicidal/death thoughts visits... There is no help just your inner something. If you can afford, grief consultant can help. Maybe you can find somebody close who went through this pain. At the same time, I agree with AnneJ that your body is trying to protect you: I was numb the first week after his death.

I come here when the pain goes over the head. Chat is always empty. I cannot find anybody in Dallas. People show their location but there is no search option.

I had that feeling when my nephew called me and told me his brother had killed himself one year after my brother (their father) died. It was a weird sensation I have never felt before. From the top of my head all the way to my feet just a rush of ? I had to tell my mother when she got home from work. One of the hardest days of my life.

I prefer not to feel anything, now.

It's not healthy, I know, but it's my preference.

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.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
