Traumatic, Sudden Loss

I have started this group for people who like myself have suddenly, tragically and traumatically lost a loved one.

My mom died 8 weeks ago (August 17, 2009) She had been sick but I did not know the true extent of her illness. Her doctor knew she did not have long and I went to each doctor visit and talked to him at the hospital and he never told me and I do not believe mom knew either. I am not sure.

I found my mom sitting up on her bed and I know I knew she was gone. I still am in deep shock and cry occasionally but only a minute or two. Then I am back to not feeling or feel numb.

i miss my mom so much she recently died going on 6 months ago and the pain only seems to get stonger. i have a son he is 1 and its now that i understand the love of a parent and it just make the pain of losing her even greater. she use to always tell me she wouldnt be around for ever but i didnt believe her even though u know everyone dies you just dont believe it will happen to the person thats the closes to you. she was murdered by her ex she was shot 4 times and he shot himself. i still have so much emotions inside i just dont even know which emotion is the strongest. sadnesss, hopelessness, vanerable, angry, or just depressed. .the funny thing is that i was chatting to her online the night before and i was having some problems and the last thing she told me before she logged out was you have to be strong like your mama i didnt think it would have a dobble meaning until she was dead the next day and i saw her life less body being put inside the crime sence van in a body bag

Greetings Tina Miller, I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your mother. I have never lost a parent before, so I can only imagine what that must feel like. I am suffering the tragic loss of my son. So sorry that you are a part of this "club". I hope you are able to get justice for your mom. Take care.

I don't know what to say to all of you.

It has been thirteen months since the person who challenged my heart and soul suddenly went.

I know it sounds different from all the other messages here, but this weekend I sanded and painted. I have done nothing for six months and it is showing.

He gave me the most beautiful gift. Dave made me feel special. I am not going to waste that gift.

It has taken me a year of waking up every morning, wishing that I had not woken up. I would have been happy to have died as well.

All of you, like me, probably have people not quite getting it, and saying stay for us...we need and love you. All I can say is that I can give more now that I care less about outcomes and tomorrowes.

It is hard when some people grab on to your pain and say they understand, when they have divorced, seperated, had someone they have left but come back to if the mood takes them.

The hardest thing that I have had to grapple with, is that there is no where that I can ever hold or see him again, and he no longer exists.

He was not a perfect man, and I wasn't a perfect woman, but I am only just now realising how lucky we were. I get to remember safe arms around me, and mine around him.

My husband was depressed over being unemployeed due to the economy for the last two years and turned to alcohol. He got real sick and I called 911 and 6 days later he died in the hospital. I DIDN"T know how sick he was and NEVER thought he would never come home. I miss him so intensely, I lost my best friend, mate and am paralyzed. Help me cope I need suggestions. I still wait for Doug to come home. In disbelief my mind wanders.

Is there anyone else who lost their wife suddenly without any cause?
Comment by Toni Davis on October 2, 2010 at 6:06am
OK, it is coming up spring in NZ. Had the first anniversery last week.

How do I posy a new thread on here? What has always helped me is music.

Can we start a music thread? Stuff that meant something to us and them.

Will try it now.

For example...this makes me feel better

My mom was stabbed to death on Aug. 5th. I am having a very difficult time getting her final moments out of my head. I meet with the DA tomorrow morning about the murderer and I am scared.

On August 2,My boyfriend died very suddenly, when I left for work that morning I kissed him goodbye and that was the last time I saw him alive. He was driving in his truck and had what appeared to be a heart attack. He must have known something was wrong because he pulled off to the side of to the side of the road. I never knew a person could hurt so bad. I miss him so much ,sometimes I feel like I am going crazy. He was my best friend and biggest suppoter. When ever I felt really stressed or troubled he was always there to make me feel better.We have been together for 7 years. When I first met him because of a prior relationship I had very low self esteem and he should me what a smart and good person I was. I will always treasure that gift but right now all I want is to have him back. My life feels like it is over. He was my soalmate ,the other half of me.

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
