Profile Information
- About Me:
- I live in CT and own a production and publishing business.I am a former paramedic so prior to my own family's sudden extinction, I was pretty used to people dying suddenly.
I'm not going back over a lifetime to count all the people I've know who have ever died like many people here, that seems a bit self indulgent as everyone will have loss over the years. I would think the purpose of this group would be the exact death(s) that brought you here or losses in a short time, not several years.
- About my Loss:
- In the past 15 months, my Mother, Father, Brother, Aunt and dog that I had for 14 years died. Everyone died a few months apart from each other from illness. I have no family of my own.

So sorry to welcome you to our grief site. A brochure that I found very helpful is: When Someone You Love Dies
Under the subheading, Releasing My Grief it states:
Talking can be a helpful release. Following the death of all ten of his children, as well as some other personal tragedies, the ancient patriarch Job said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life. I will give vent to [Hebrew, “loose”] my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” (Job 1:2, 18, 19; 10:1) Job could no longer restrain his concern. He needed to let it loose; he had to “speak.” Similarly, the English dramatist Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth: “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”
I have had multiple losses as well and talking has really helped me. I know that we are not friends, but we may turn out to be as we all go through our losses, memories and feelings. Together we can cope. I will listen anytime you need to talk.

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.
