Dear Marlene,

I am heading for the six month mark of my husbands sudden death and I don't know how anyone who has been through this could put a timeline on our grief. I think the first few months I was still in shock. The holidays came and were gone and I went through them like walking through a dream. I went to stay with my daughter and all I could think was I want to go home even though I would be alone. I agree it seems to be getting harder. Maybe as time goes on the harsh reallity is with us. I am finding it harder to get motivated. Each day I think what he and I would be doing even if it would be nothing. I long a day that is not so painful but noone can tell me when that will come. My wish is for all of us here to find some peace in our hearts.

My thoughs are with you Barbara

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.
