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.

So sorry to hear Tracy. How sad. My dad passed suddenly in June. And it still seems like yesterday. I miss him more each day. Holidays were the hardest. Just seemed like a motion to go through. You're not alone in your journey of loss. Almost six months have somehow passed and the pain is still there.

My husband passed away suddenly last year...nine days into the year 2011.....this was after we had made a new years toast to 2011 being the best year ever..we both had new jobs ahead of us...our relationship was mending..our daughter was our sav iour...nine days later he was dead!!..followed by three more deaths before this "best year ever" was half way through!!!..so..Iam not making any new years resolutions this time around.....Iam going to let what happens..happen.....so if tragedy shall befall me once again..I will definetly not be surprised....so here is to 2012 and may our healing continue and to all of my fellow followers in pain and loss...I wish you the best in your journey in 2012.

Oh Mercy ...I feel your pain. I am having a very hard time today. I don't want to let this year go. It seems so final now....this day seems worst than the months following his passing. Hate this so much.

Christianlee I thought I was the only one who felt this way about leaving 2011 behind. I feel like am leaving behind the last year of my moms life, in fact, I posted this last night. I miss mom so much, its like an open wound that will not heal. I hate that I cannot call and wish her happy new year in three languages. I took so much forgranted.

I'm not ready for 2011 to be over. My dad died in June and I have this feeling that dad will be forgotten. I don't want to move past 2011.....it seems I want to stay in last summer.....and not move forward

It got really bad for me about a month before a year.  The few days week before was really sad but the weekend before I was on a men's retreat that went a long way to helping me heal.  

Christmas was very difficult this year.  Last year I was numb and still in shock and really just emotionally dead.  This year I could feel again and it proved to be painful.  This past Wednesday morning I was at her sister's house where we spent Christmas, and she and I talked for several hours and shed many tears.

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
