How can this pain never let up? I am a 52 year old woman who is no strainger to death and dying, but day after day, bad dream after bad dream, two and a half years later and I am in asmuch anguish as I was on the DOD 2/4/2011. I dont know what to do anymore.

Doesnt anyone care?
Hi Lois,

I lost my beloved mother on July , 22 , 2013. Certainly the worst day of my life. She was my everything. My beloved mum, my best friend, my role model, my truest wellisher, my constant companion. She was the epitome of love, beauty, grace and dignity. For me the world has come to an end. Pain, sorrow , grief and depression : I'm drowning in all these. This was the first time I've dealt with death and its the most tragic loss ever. I don't feel like going on. I'm here for you Lois. Please don't think you are alone and hurting. There are many wonderful people here. You can count on me. Please contact me anytime. Hugs.
Lois

I am so sorry for the pain you are suffering.

Death is indeed such an enemy. It robs us of so many things. It's so final.

With all of that said, I do know that we can gain comfort through our struggles. Don't misunderstand. Comfort will not take the pain away. But comfort does help up move forward. It does help us cope successfully.

I find that one of the greatest sources of comfort is HOPE. Hope changes our focus. It salves our heart by giving us something to look forward to when our heart feels absorbed in darkness.

Where do find hope when we feel totally hopeless? That can be different for each person, but for me, I find it in the TRUTHS found in the Bible. NOT necessarily religion...the BIBLE.

For you, hope might come from something else. But wherever you can find it, please grab onto it.

If there is anything that I can do to help you please let me know.

Your friend

Dennis

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
