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.

Thank you nadia.  I am sorry for your loss.  My Dad would be mad to see me crying over him, but I am an emotional person.  And as my brother says I wear my heart on my sleeve.  I haven't felt him around me but I'm syre he is here.  That is why I go to the cemetary to see him.  That gives me comfort.  My thoughts and prayers for you.

so sorry you are here too debra....a group none of us wish to join but gives some relief when other cannot help much.. I know the feelings ... you speak to my heart... I lost my wonderful sister my soulmate in may 2011 and to this day the pain ir raw and i often feel guilt replaying random moments of our life when I could have done things better.... at times i do not seem to be able to have a life without her but there are some better days too... i miss her every second though and the hole in my heart will never be healed....i think you dad did not want you to suffer.. he is with you around you....

I am new to the group.  Earlier I thought I was making a post but sent an e-mail to everyone in the group, I am sorry.  Should I repost my story here on the comment wall?  Thank you for your help and understanding.

Joseph, I am not giong to alievate anything for you cuz no one can. But here is my experience. I have 5 other siblings. No one was able to help me grieve. I was very alone. The boys dad is one of 8. No help there either. Not because they didn't want to, there is just nothing anyone can do. When Craiger died in 1990 ane when Kev died in 2012 the only people that helped me was people who had lost because they knew how it felt. They knew exactly how devestating, how final, how debilitating this is. I hate that you have to go through this.

YOU KNOW I HATE THE FACT THAT MY WIFE IS DEAD AND I HATE  THE FACT THAT IM ALONE IN THIS  AND THE ONLY PEOPLE TO TALK TO IS EITHER TO YOUNG OR TO OLD  TO UNDERSTAND ME  I HAVE NO BROTHERS OR SISTERS  FAMILY OF ENY KIND FROM BOTH SIDES AS WELL  I HATE THE FACT THAT ME ANDD MY BELOVED WIFE WERE ONLY CHILDREN  NOBODY SHOULD MOURN ALONE BUT IT SEEMS THAT WHAT IM STUCK WITH  AND I HATE THE FACT THAT IT WASN'T ME INSTEAD  I WOULD OF GLADY HAVE GONE IN HER PLACE WITH OUT QUESTION        

                                   I     JUST    H   A    T   E

How do you get through the holidays? I am dreading them and want to skip over them if I could. I plan on not decorating at all or celebrating  :(

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
