Just sad.

It has been a year and a half later and it feels like he died before I was born. I went through a hard time grieving but, now I feel the grief again but he feels so far away. I don't know if it is him I am grieving or if there is something else. I just know I am sad and unmotivated to just take life day by day. I want to know how to slow down and take life day by day. I feel like I am on edge for the next thing to happen..good or bad.  Just sad.

Faith

Today was the first day since he passed that I felt a stillness inside. I have cried more the past week then I have since I was 15. I saw the quote, title of my blog, today in a store.

Starting to grieve, but not able to let go

I have never had this feeling before. I know I have to let go of him, but I can't seem to do it. I went to a health fair the other day. They were collecting money for the American Cancer Society. Once you donated, you can put the name of to whom you are donating on a card they would hang on the wall. I couldn't do it. I couldn't imagine his name on one of those In Memory of cards. How do you let go? What holds me back? I don't know what I can do to actually let go and accept he is gone. I am…

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.
