Hi Deneene I just read your message. I lost my 16 year old son due to a drug overdose on Dec 26, 2009. I just wanted you to know that I understand what you mean about not realizing how bad it was until after. The what-ifs some days and nights just won't stop! You are in my thoughts and prayers

I'm not doing well!!....I lost my fiancee in a car accident Oct.27 2009. Anyone that says it gets easier with time is wrong. It's getting harder and harder everyday. I feel like my life is over too. I can barely get out of bed and I've become physically and emotionally sick.

I am new to this. I am not sure what to do. My husband died a month ago. He was undergoing a liver transplant when his heart stopped. The last 6 years I have been dealing with his illness of Hep C. Now that he is gone I find myself empty, doctors and hospitals have been the normal for our life.

Diana,
They started the night of the accident. I just laid in bed and thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest and fly around the room. And I couldn't get out of bed, the fear was so bad.

Kathy,
Do you have a history of panic attacks or did they just start?

My mom and grandma were in a head on collision in September 2009. My mom survived but my grandma died soon after at the hospital. They were hit by a wrong way driver who was going into a diabetic coma.
I never truely realized just how physical grief is. I have had numerous panic/anxiety attacks since that day. Just when I think everything is going to go back to normal, it just hits me again. I lived with my grandma and mom for 25 years and I was so very close with my grandma. The district attorney in the county we live in has chosed not to prosicute the individual who caused this. I am mixed on that one. Yah, he didn't intend for this to happen. But there are numerous witnesess who told investigators that he was driving irratically for at least 2 miles. He got off with just losing his license. But he does have to live with this for the rest of his life. As do we.

How much longer is this pain going to last? It has been 28 days and I still have the same pain as I did when I first got the news of my Sister dying. She passed away on New Year's Eve from an accidental drug overdose and she was 35 years old. I am going back and forth from sad to mad and I can not control it. I just want to go to bed and wake up and it all be a bad dream. I started back to work and when I am working trying to stay busy all of a sudden I will start crying real hard and can't stop. Can someone please tell me how to ease the pain I have. =(

Tammie,
The pain will ease and deepen, and each day brings a small shard of light. Each of our experiences are personal and shared. I know that you miss him. I could write here and describe your loss, and mine, but no words could ever explain it. Please know that some of us have some small understanding of what you are feeling right now. We have to be strong choose it or not. It has been four months yesterday for me . tHow we can all forget those first few weeks. I dream every night...good ones and questioning ones. Regrets and smiles. It was not your fault Tammie, so go gently with both him and you. And I know the only hug you want is from him, but we are all doing our best to hold you now. Sleep tight and cry as much as you want and need. You are not alone .
Xxx

Jen,
That was traumatic. Nightmares are a normal response. Speak to someone who is trained in trauma. Or go on to sites for PTSD. Your experience is too much for you alone. Get support. It will make a big difference in the long term.
I wish that none of you had had to go through that. Go gently with your self.
Toni
