Traumatic, Sudden Loss

I have started this group for people who like myself have suddenly, tragically and traumatically lost a loved one.

My mom died 8 weeks ago (August 17, 2009) She had been sick but I did not know the true extent of her illness. Her doctor knew she did not have long and I went to each doctor visit and talked to him at the hospital and he never told me and I do not believe mom knew either. I am not sure.

I found my mom sitting up on her bed and I know I knew she was gone. I still am in deep shock and cry occasionally but only a minute or two. Then I am back to not feeling or feel numb.

Connie, I am so sorry for your loss. It is unfair that someone else's actions have taken away your son. I understand what you mean about shock. My mother passed away suddenly 3 months ago and I still have these very surreal moments where I forget that she is gone or where I am in complete disbelief that she is not here anymore. They are the worst. Everytime I remember she is gone it is like the walls come crashing down all over again.

There is nothing I can say to take away your pain, however I can tell you that this community is a very safe place to express yourself, event just vent sometimes.

My thought are with you, as they are with everyone who is grieving.

My son was stolen from us on Dec. 1, 2012 as a passenger in a tragic car accident. I still feel like i"m in shock and sometimes when I go by his room I just can't understand how he can possibly be gone, forever. I will never see his sweet face again or hear him call "Mom!" How can this be? He should be graduating tomorrow and I still just can't believe he's gone even though I live the nightmare. How can he be gone? Just like that? With no warning. No goodbye. Oh God I miss you so much my sweet angel boy. More and more every second...

Thank You everyone, I feel so lost, and like I am going to go crazy, losing my mom has been my worst fear since I was a child, and losing my granddaughter, was never even something I would have though could ever happen......I have been crying for 2 months, and my mom always comforted me, now she is gone, and I dont know what to do with myself, I just want to sleep. :(

Patricia,

I'm not sure words can express how shocked I am to hear this or comfort you.  I am terribly sorry for another loss.  My condolences, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.  God Bless.

Hi Connie, thank you so much for your post. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. You think these things only happen to OTHER people, thne you find no one is invincible. Its just been 4 weeks, and my grandson, Olivia's brother is going to sleep over here for the 1st time.........also tomorrow is my others sons daughters 1st birthday party.........I dont know how I am going to get through these events, I have cried nonstop for 4 weeks. I do alot of reading, and am in a grief group, and in counseling, and on meds.......I suffered from clinical depression, OCD & Panic disorder since I was 10, so I am feeling like this is going to put me over the edge......I am having some comfort knowing my precious Olivia, that is the HEAD angel up there leading all the small children, that was just her way, she is also the 1sy great grandchild to get to meet her 3 great grandparents..........I know she is always in my heart & soul and I talk to her all the time, until we are all together again. This is also a tragic loss for my son, & daughter in law, so its really hard...........HUGS

Hi Patricia
 My name is Connie and I lost my only son in a tragic car accident 5 months ago. He was seventeen. I am so sorry for your horrible loss. I can relate to the overwhelming feeling of grief consuming your while being. I sometimes feel I am going to go instantly insane when that nightmare reality seeps in. It helps me to read meditations from others who are making their way through life with this loss. Being outside and hiking help me. I know it is hard and I just wanted to send you a cyber hug. Try to have faith that your grand daughter is still alive in spirit and is with you and help you get through things when you just don't know how you will. This is the only way I survive.Energy never dies it just changes form. And the love you shared with her will always be there and never change. It's what we have left. HUGS

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.
