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.

Kadie Meyer,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father and know that pain but losing a partner is different. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I lost my boyfriend suddenly on December 17th 2013 in a tragic car accident. I feel so lost without him. He was my best friend. My one true love. It is just so unfair. I wish I could wake up and it all be a nightmare.

Staceranger, it will probably be a mix of pain and a source of comfort. i'm not expecting the pain to ever go away if that helps you. If it becomes a mix, I'd be happy. Thanks for posting. best

StaceRanger,
Everyone's time frame for this is different. Grieving is a process and does take time. It has been 1 yr and 5 months since my father passed and I am doing better. But I still and probably always will have times of pain/sorry that he isn't hear. I have found comfort in honoring Dad. Right now I am collecting donations for MDA Ride for Life in his memory. He participated in MDA for over 20 yrs. Just do what feels right to you and don't be ashamed if you need to get help thru counseling, it helped me. Take care.

At what point do memories go from being painful (good and/or bad), and change to being a source of comfort. It will be a year next month, and I still have intense pain with memories of her. When I get together with her family, they want to talk about her and laugh and tell stories, and it is just too painful for me. I fake my way through it, but I truly want to get to the place where memories of her and us feel good and become a source of joy.

Ali what a horrific ordeal you have had to deal with. I am so sorry for your losses. I understand - I am just entering the 2nd year of losing my 17 year old son - my only. It definitely still feels like yesterday. Sending love and prayers your way

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

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
