About my Loss:
In the span of 8 months between 2005 and 2006, my dad, grandpa, grandma, and mom passed away, in that order. I was fourteen when my dad had a heart attack, and fifteen by the time my mom died. We were a very close-knit family. My mom struggled with cancer since I was 12 or 13. My dad had a massive heart attack - probably from all the stress and unhealthy coping mechanisms - and died six days later. Then, his parents - they were of a ripe old age, but I think it was the grief that drove them over the edge. They died two weeks apart, a couple of months after my dad. My mom planned all the funerals while getting chemo; not completely on her own, we had supportive family and friends, but it took a toll. She died 8 months after my dad.

I'm 20 now. It's taken me a while to address my feelings - and they've been coming out in weird ways. I've seen quite a few therapists. Right now, I'm between anger and acceptance, it seems; as in I've worked past the anger, and close to acceptance. In any case, I'm finally crying. I'm in a committed relationship and we've been together for about 2 and a half years; I've found myself externalizing a lot of my emotions and being unrealistic about my expectations. I've felt alienated for a long time, and I've never been part of any kind of grief support network.

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.Β https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

"Professional help gives you a safe space to talk, understand your emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope. It can make grief feel less overwhelming and easier to manage over time.Β https://www.ambrosiatc.com"

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
