Irene , it's hard , your best friend in the world is gone, of course you are lonely and feel alone. I understand as I had a very close relationship with both of my parents. I know how hard it is. But through prayer GOD will strengthen you day by day. IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME. It is not the way most people say. , John

Traumatic loss of an only child

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.
