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.

Sorry for your loss Panni. So sad for you and your children. I'm sorry for your loss. I feel the same about living in a fog.

I'm very sorry for your loss Christianlee.  Trauma and grief are two very difficult things to deal with.  I know for a fact that the trauma (shock) does lighten up eventually.

In my case, I wasn't able to go to my mothers or wife's graves for months.  I had to face my fears and just do it.  It also took months to go through my wife's personal things, but I did it.  So, the shock does fade, but the grief is a real trip.

Still, it's nothing we can't go through and accomplish.  Many people have, and you will make it too.  

Here for you,

Wish you peace!
Michael

Thank you Anne. Your reply made me cry. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone. I just miss him so much.

Dear Christianlee, I am so sad for you. As I was reading your story tears came to my eyes because I wish I could let you know that your Dad did know you loved him and my heart says that he knows how grateful your are to have had him in your life. Through everything i've been through and trust me it's alot the one thing I was always sure of is that my boys knew I loved them and I was sure they knew how grateful I was and always will be to have had them in my earthly life. As a mother just watching my kids grow and going through all the stuff we do as parents I feel their love in everything.So i'm thinking that your Dad probably does too.

Hi I just lost my Dad this summer. Three days before his anniversary. And four days before my birthday. Saddest birthday ever. I didn't get to tell my Dad goodbye. He passed so suddenly from a blood clot. We were close and saw him everyday. I just wish that dreaded day I would have seen him and told him I loved him and thank him for being a great dad and papa to my boys. Life without is is very hard and I feel so sad without him. He is all I think about. Its hard to accept.

anna l.  thank you.  I will sleep better tonight knowing I am not in this alone.  I am sorry for your loss also and will say a prayer for you too tonight.

DL, you asked for a hug in your other post.  Well here are a whole bunch of gentle holding you up hugs.  My husband passed away on July 1st so I know the pain you are in today.  You are still reeling from the shock.  Nothing I can say can help, but knowing other people understand and care does help.  Hugs dear comrade in this society of grief.  I will be thinking of you in the days to come.

I lost my husband suddenly on August 5th.  He went into the hospital for a 'routine' procedure he had had done twice before.  Something went tragically wrong and I am left alone and suffering.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
