Rough days

It has been 18 months since my true love and great friend's death, he took his own life by walking the train tracks after a long battle with mental Illness, I have my good days and my bad days and today is a rough day were I just wish he was here with me and I keep finding myself down and crying. I have so many regrets and unanswered questions and the what ifs is the worst.  I keep asking myself could I have prevented this? Would he still be here with me if I just told him how much I loved and cared for him. My family was and is supportive but they don't understand my anxiety with trains and how I can't stand to see a train go over the tracks were he took his life, and the images of seeing the train stopped that day and all of the first responders before I found out it was John are stuck in my head and I just wish I had someone to talk to who understood.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I am so glad you came here and let us know about John and your pain.  I'm sure it is hard to put into words your experience of loss and suffering.  Be gentle with yourself.  It is understandable that trains can be a trigger for you.  Perhaps someone outside of your family, a good friend can listen to you. BUT you always have us to come back to share. That is what the online grief support is set up for I believe.  We are a caring group.

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.
