I am hopeful i will meet new friends when i start group therapy since they have all lost children. I feel i need to be in sessions where the group is and or has lost a child by suicide to really help with the layers of my healing. We are all grieving and mourning the same way, no matter how we lost them. Kim, are you still taking any medication? I am still taking my xanex but also taking zoloft, its been 3 weeks now. I have to say it has helped some.

That is the group i will be attending soon. I am hopeful it will help. I missed the last one, backed out at the last minute, i think it was too soon.

Sheri see if there is a Compassionate friends group near you. Everyone there has lost a child. Where do you live? Try and find one that has a group for grieving parents.

I just went back to work last week, and just part time. My husband stayed home for a month too. After he went back, he was worried to leave me home all day alone. Going back to work is both good and bad. Makes me get out of bed, but I still do have my crying episodes...so it's difficult. The support group Compassionate friends is very good. Everyone there gets it. I'm the newest griever tho. Still very hard. Everything is hard now.

Rj - yes we've all felt that way. And sometimes still do. You feel like you are going to throw up all the time. the simplest task seems insurmountable. Everything is exhausting. People seems oblivious to the most intense pain I think there is in this life. Sometimes you feel like you can't breath. I tell you i couldn't make it through the grocery store for a year. Good thing my husband could. Now i have to go to different stores, restaurants etc if the memories are too painful. Be kind to yourself and do what you can. Even if you just walk around the block. I think the support group will help you not feel so isolated. Hang in there, you will slowly learn how to manage the pain. You will find a way to carry on and your child's spirit is there to help you. Call and them and trust that they hear you. Hugs and love to everyone.

Lynn I wish it would warm up for you!!! Enough already. I think of you often.  ((( )))

Well i had good intentions when i woke up to do something productive and positive for the first time. But didn't work out that way. It is 3 pm and i find myself in the same position as most days, curled up at the end of the couch, looking up at the mantle that is full of that happy and good life i once had,photos of larry. The heart ache, that feeling in the pit of my stoamach rolls around once again. This truly is hell on earth. Hoping i find something positive when my group sessions start next week. I do not seem to be getting anything out of the one on one sessions. Lynn that is a good way to explain the zoloft, i am going to continue it. I swear the rest of the world goes on, but i have not moved since larry has been gone it seems. I went to brush my teeth this morning and no water! Omg, i did not pay my water bill...i honestly do not know when anything is due. I had the money but that is how out of my mind i have been. I called and paid it right away...i have got to get myself together. Do you all feel like you will never catch up to the world? Or did you feel that way? Its moving so fast, i feel i am in slow mode in this new shattered place, i just hate it. I want my son back!

I hope you can shake the bug you have soon Michelle and I hope you felt Chris around you on the anniversary of his death. Connie I am so sorry to hear the prognosis on your cat. I went through it with my kitty last fall. It was very hard. She was 14. RJ and Sharon I have been on 50 mg of Zoloft for a long time. It took a month to kick in and really helped my anxiety when Kyra died 16 months ago. It didn't stop the grieving process but I didn't fall into another major depression. I will probably be on it for the rest of my life. It was 12 degrees this morning in VT. I doubt spring will ever arrive here. Love to all

Connie and RJ, thank you for your good thoughts for my health. RJ I think you're right about not healing as quickly when you're grieving. Connie, I hope they find a treatment for your cat. our furry friends bring us so much comfort and it's hard to see them sick.

Im sorry michelle, prayers being lifted that you feel better soon, you are so kind. I think sadness prolongs recovering from any illness. When our hearts have been broken forever it is harder to mend other health issues. Probably always will be. Connie i remember having to make that decision with my sweet dog clark, he was 15. Oh what a heartbreaking and painful decision. Its been 10 years and i still miss my sweet buddy. Im sorry, i know your pain

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
