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.

Hello, Theresa

I want to offer my virtual hugs here to you.  You have truly suffered, as has your daughter.  It is so hard to cope with the loss of your mom....I lost my mom in Jan. 2008 and dad in March 2010, though neither were sudden.  My late husband, however, who passed Nov. 28, 2000 was a sudden, shocking loss due to a massive heart attack when he was 44.  I have a friend who lost one of her twins, as well.  I know she participates in a support group and will get information from her if you would like me to do so.  Please know your grief is real and like others here, it will soften in time, but until then...welcome to a place to share and be understood.

Hello K. Broussard and everyone, I agree with what you said about not holding back your feelingsfor the sake of those that, fortunately for them, truly do not understand. A lot of people take offense or feel uncomfortable with some of my answers to "stupid' questions but I am not intentionally trying to make them feel that way. My heart is just forever broken and nothing could ever convince me why it's "OK" that my child is gone. I will never give the hope that this could all be a terrible dream. I still keep hoping that this can be "fixed'.

K.B. I hope your mom gets the justice she deserves, so sorry.

My first day without a full blown cry... I have been keeping busy almost convicing myself that when back home from business trip she will back waiting for me at airport .. now I feel guilty for having a more normal day through denial... I love you tonitsa I cannot believe you are gone...

Next month will be a year since my mom was murdered.  It does not matter to me when people say things like "She wouldn't want you to be sad and crying"  That is ridiculous!  You don't have a 39 year old relationship, have it tragically ended, and not be upset about it!!!  Unless you don't care about the lost one.  In my opinion, I will cry, scream, be sad, be angry, ache to hear my mom's voice, and want her back forever!  If people in my situation are able to get over it quicker then good for them but I am SAD.  I MISS my mom.  I WANT her back.  I WANT the killer in Angola for the rest of his miserable life.  I HATE it when people say STUPID things.  They don't understand.

I hear all of you and we are all going through the same struggles. Mom wanted me to have a happy full life as she did and I know she would hate it that I’m so sad and depressed about me losing her. My dear brother who also died in June of last year suddenly was so caring and would want me to be happy. I know everyone means well when they tell us to try and move on and be happy, but it’s easier said than done. The only way I can get through the day is to push thoughts of my mom and brother away, then I end up feeling guilty for not thinking about them. Unfortunately, this is the price we pay for loving and losing.

Hey everyone, family and friends out of concern for me, also try to convince me that my son doesn't want me to cry or be upset, they try to convince me that it makes him feel bad and keeps him from having peace.......that's the last thing I want to do is disturb his peace. I really can't help it, that's why I long for him to let me know that he is truly ok, I know it's crazy but its like I need his reassurance daily. I keep thinking that he is angry and afraid, I need to believe that I am wrong about that. I do feel like I am being selfish by asking him to NEVER leave my side. I am really not doing well with this.

Thanks everyone.

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
