Christmas is harder than I had anticipated

Information

Christmas is harder than I had anticipated

My Dad passed in September 2013 and my Mum January 2014.  I have been trying to prepare myself for the emotions that I may feel in the lead up to Christmas but it is more of a roller coaster than I thought it would be.  I jump from acceptance to being philosophical to utter heartbreak to tears to body shaking sobs to (and this is the way I am feeling at the moment) anger.  Not sure which direction I will take next but if you are feeling that this time of the year is rocking your world even more, feel free to share the heavy burden...

I hope that you have made it through the holiday.....

I did not think that I would my soul mate and I decided that we needed to get a new fiberoptic tree this year and when I pulled out the old one, I thought my heart was just going to stop, it was so painful that I actualy was going to die...

I am sorry to hear that you had to go through this, and Joe there is no wrong thing to say..

God Bless

Hi JO, You're not saying anything wrong at all.  I am sorry for your losses.  I hope that you have friends or family or both there with you to help you through the tough times.  I know that even with friends and family there, it can be very lonely.

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
