About Me:
I am a mother of 3 living boys, and I trying to put my life back together after a serious relationship filled with domestic violence and alcohol tore my family apart. i am back working and trying to regain my own strength, however I deal daily with my loss and grief issues, and wonder why people always tell you that time heals all.
About my Loss:
In August of 1999 my grandmother(whom was very young when I was born, and whom I was much closer to than my mother,)lost my stillborn in order to save my own life, and my mother was tragically hit by a car as a pedestrian all within 3 weeks. January 2000 my daughter started having grand-mal seizures as she turned 2 years old, and I tried desperately to keep her healthy, her father's family doubted the seriousness of her death, until April 9,2000 when my best friend had to call them because I couldn't to tell them my baby girl was gone. since then I have lost friends, paternal grandmother and watched other close family members get sick, always terrified of death. Somedays are ok, while other days, when things get complicated in life, I always go back to dealing etih the loss of my baby girl.

Hi Barbara,
I can't imagine losing a child. It would be unbearable for me. I wish I could hug you personally. So please accept a virtual hug. I'm just an email/message away. Feel free to pour yourself out here. It's a safe environment.

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood.
