IT IS OVER 2 YEARS SINCE MY WIFE DIED.   THE GRIEF THAT I WAS SUFFERING HAS ONLY GROWN WORSE. MY CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN OTHER STATES HARDLY CALL ME.   I SPEND THE DAYS WRITTING POEMS ABOUT MY WIFE.  TODAY I SENT 4 POEMS INTO THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE.   I AM A VETERAN AND IT WAS EASIER IN COMBAT THEN GO THRU EACH DAY IN MY DEEP GRIEF.   I WENT FOR HELP BUT NOTHING HAD HELP ME IN ANYWAY.    THE DAYS COME AND THE DAYS GO BUT MY GRIEF CONTINUES TO GROW.   THANKS FOR READING.   HAVE A GOOD WEEK.      IRWIN

Thank you Irwin. Wow, Poems and music go hand in hand. You must be really good to win prizes. I play and pick acoustic guitar and have a knack for creating my own tunes. Also, my son and me make handmade paperboard model ships, Titanic, Andre Doria, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth. It's great for the nerves and mind to be creative. Nicholas is only 8 and has a ball with our hobby. We as adults forget that the magic of childhood is still within us! He truly inspires me to keep moving on. Keep up your hobbies and God Bless you! And thank you for your service too! We'll talk more soon. I'm damn lonely myself, even with Nicky. Have a great evening! Michael

Irwin, I am very sorry for you loss and for the family you should have that arent there for you at all.  I feel very luck to have the family I have to support me these days.  I dont know what I would do without them.  Tonight is 2 years since my darling middle son passed in his sleep and it has been a tough few days leading up to tonight.  So many regrets, so much I wish I could change.  My husband was with me for the first year after our son died, but this year I have to face it without him and it is just so much harder.  No shoulder to cry on, no one who feels the loss as strongly as I do.  I hope you find some peace soon from your grief.  You dont mention your friends.  Are they trying to help fill your days with companionship?  It is so hard to be alone.

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.
