Not really sure how this works, but I do know what it's like to lose multiple loved ones.  I've lost my mom, dad, brother, grandparents, uncle and aunt.  I'm all that's left of our family.  I never knew what it meant to truly be alone.  It's scary.  My brother and I were very close and I miss him more than I can say.  Still, I've found a way to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward, but it took a very long time to figure out who I am without my family.

Theresa:  It definitely sounds like you've been traumatized over and over during the past 6 years.  Wow.  Losing 18 loved ones in an average lifetime would be hard.  I'm guessing you are young to have experienced so much loss.  I also suffer with PTSD as a result of events that took place over a 2 year period almost 20 years ago.  That trauma exacerbated the major depression that existed my entire adult life.  My salvation has been a wonderful psychiatrist, therapist, and medication.  The multiple losses I've suffered in the past few years worsened the depression and PTSD.  I hope your doctor can help you find ways to deal with the PTSD.  Unfortunately, there's no "cure".  What you describe being fine one day and lost the next is familiar.  There have been times where I feel like a wave of pain just hits out of no where.  I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

Dear Tammy:  I can't begin to comprehend the extent of the pain you must feel at the loss of your son, daughter-in-law, and precious grandchildren so suddenly.  The only thing I could tell you is to be gentle to yourself and give yourself permission to do or not do whatever helps you the most. If you need to vent, feel free to share with us.  (((HUGS)))

Hi to everyone, my heart breaks for every person here. Tammy, I don't know what to say. I think that losing a child or a grandchild is too much to bear. They are your heart and a piece of your heart goes with them when they pass. I'm sure that you feel like the tears will never end and maybe they won't. I'm glad that you can express it on this site. I will keep your broken heart lifted up before God when I pray. Jo thank you for your kind words also. Peace and comfort to everyone

Comment by Connie K on January 28, 2014 at 7:32pm

Tammy - what a horrific experience you have had.  My heart is with you and I am sending you lots of prayers and hugs. Tonight I will light a candle for your family when I light one for my son and all of my friends an family who have passed.

I hope everyone has a peaceful evening

Today makes 3 months since the house fire. Two of my granddaughters passed away immediately. The fire started out on the porch, a corner far from the main part of the house. The fire went up through the walls to the second floor coming through the wall in the bedroom shared by the twins and 4 year old. There were smoke detectors in the house but there were no batteries in them. ATF and the fire marshal said the way the smoke and fire came into the house the detector would not have saved them. This just seems like a nightmare still. Tomorrow it would be three months that my son and 2 more granddaughters passed. Today has been a day of tears to sobs. How do you accept this. My daughter-in-law lived 15 days after the fire before she passed

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief

Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More

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
