Self Care

Hello,

I too lost my daughter of 24 years about 8 months ago and miss her everyday. There are days that my body hurts and I just can't find the strength to get into the shower. How are most of you taking care of yourselves? I do get out sometimes but lately I have been feeling anti social.

Sandy, my son at 34 died over eight years ago.  I still just hurt.  I do work which has saved my life -- just to get out of the house.  I exercise, I rescue animals too many).  Tomorrow would have been his 43rd birthday.  I swear, I still don't get it.  But in the meantime, my purpose is to save animals.  I had his three too.  Sending all I have for you.

Thank you Jill. I haven't been on here for a month. Mother's day was Sunday. How are you?

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.
