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.
Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide
If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression.

When I read your words....I feel that I can make it too. You have had so much on your plate in your life. You are a strong woman. Love Sue
Jennifer, I'm very sorry for the loss of your daughter. There really isn't anything that can help right now. Your loss is so fresh. Take it minute by minute. Breathe. Be gentle with yourself and know that what you are feeling is what we all feel. It will gradually ease some, but you will always love and miss her. This will become your new 'normal', but we are here to listen and help in any way we can. This is a wonderful group. I pray your day went okay. Hugs..
