Heartbroken...

On May 5th I lost my youngest brother suddenly....then on June 28th I lost my only daughter to an accidental heroin overdose....this has been so hard.  She left 3 children behind.  Some days the grieving for both is almost un bearable.  I feel like Im losing my mind some days...and having to deal with work is just as hard. I would just like to stay hidden in my home and never come out.:(

I am so sorry for your severe set of losses.

Below is a link that answers the question "Why do we die?"

Why do People Die?

There are other resources on that site that can help.

One thing that I know...I need HOPE to be able to get through each day. What the Bible promises about the future for our dead loved ones gives me HOPE.

If there is anything that I can do to comfort and help please let me know.

The words I'm sorry don't convey the full impact of ur loss.  It seems that these things come in waves, and the grief comes in waves, when least expected.   Just try to walk through the really bad feelings, it will lessen, but never go totally away.  I lost my oldest sister, a friend, and a granddog within a couple months of each other.  It was like one blow after another.  I'm finally able to go out a little from my house, but know the feeling of the days staying in just seems easier.  I joined a yoga group, and a painting group (anything like knitting, crafts etc), and it seems to distract me.  No one in the group know of the loss and that seems to have helped also, as I don't feel the need to "explain".  Just suggesting as may be it will help u take a couple small steps out of the deepest part of this.  Best to you in this terrible struggle, just know it will get a little better.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
