well before it was pretty predictable.She would go out to do what she does (nothing bad) I would enjoy those moments. The die had pretty well been cast for a long time for us. I wonder if it would be different if I paid attention to her health.Its hard to say she went on dialysis in 2008 .We got married in1977.So there must have been a time where her kidneys started to fail. Did she ever pay attention to her health or maby I should have. I don,t know.I guess there things you have no control over.We didn,t have a outwardily loving marriage(hugging .kissing presents going out) but we did alright in a sense. I was pretty well dependent on her.She made some terrible decisions,some I feel if I jumped in might have saved us a lot of grief. I wasn .t a real man for her.I started to develope some terrible coping mechanisms in dealing with her "temper tantrums" well.ll leave it at that. I don,t think she saw it that way we let things fall where they may.

 

There is no use anaylizing what has gone on . It just happended as dysfuntional as it gets. Its a terrible burden for someone so dependent for decision making on someone else.We had some good times though.

So there is a void,a dark space which your thrust into and try to work yourself out,

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.
