I am new to online support

Hi,

My name is Lisa and I am trying online support for the first time. I have been considering it for a few weeks. I think I would prefer it to going to see a therapist.

Hi Monica, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I also have been through a difficult time. In 2014 I my father in law passed, and my sons best friend Justin. Justin was a member of the family he was 30 way to young to go. Meanwhile my dad was diagnosed with cancer. But the end of 2015 the worst thing happened I went to visit a friend that I have known since I was 12. I found him dead. He had been dead for at least a week when I found him. He (Mike) had been having trouble controlling his diabetes. Mike and I were boyfriend and girlfriend when I was 14 and he 16 we were together for 4 years then we both moved on but remained friends. I always loved him and always will. Finding him was devastating it shattered my world. Both from the grieve and the horror of seeing him like that. My father died 8 days later. He went peacefully at home surrounded by his girls, that's what he called my sisters and I. He was my Superman.

These loses have left my head spinning, sometimes I'm just numb and other times I just sleep all day so I don't have to think. The thoughts are crazy. It's hard for me to share my feelings with my family, I don't want to burden them with my troubles because they also lost their Dad. They never understood Mike's and I relationship.

I'm hoping that this online support will help. I just don't want to leave the house sometimes.

I would like you to share your story with me. I know if I lost my husband I would virtually be lost. He and I have been together since I was 18. He isn't perfect but he's my rock.

Please share your thoughts

LISA

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.
