About my Loss:
Although I have struggled with my own loss, my concern right now is for my friend, Ron, who lost his eldest son 2 years ago to suicide. Michael was a vibrant young man, who had a young daughter and a common-law spouse. He had asked some family members what depression felt like, but never did anyone think he would truly contemplate suicide. One day, after an argument, Michael returned to his home to find his girlfriend had left him and taken his daughter with her. Michael did not reach out to anyone...instead he chose to end his life. Ron's life has spiraled out of control since Michael's death. His marriage ended and he barely holds himself together, but tries for his other 3 children and 2 grandchildren. A man who once had mischievous dancing eyes, and who was always the rock everyone leaned on, is now quiet, subdued, sad...a shell of what he once was. Please help me find a way to give him purpose ago...a way for him to cope. Thank you.

For me the only thing that helps is others who have lived it & truly understand. Also- online helps for I dont face to actually face anyone - I can just say it like it is without feeling like an ambulance will pull in. I truly would not be here if I did not have other children. - I struggle to just be... He sounds like me... See if he will come on the site - hand him the web address or pull up the page & just ask him to read some of our stories - If it will help him - he will return....

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. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
