Hi. Just sharing-- It's been about 2.5 years since my younger sister died unexpectedly after a long medical ordeal, during which she was the picture of courage and grace. She was only 25. I was, am still am, broken-hearted. For the first year to 2 after, I was consistently aware of my anger at the universe for what happened to her, for her being cheated out of her dreams of marriage, travel, etc. I notice those feelings still rear their ugly head sometimes. I know intellectually that things are what they are; my heart isn't so matter-of-fact about it. I've also experienced increased anxiety since she died--sometimes I'm up at night worry about anything and everything; other times I've had panic attacks out of know where. I function okay most of the time, but I do think I experience short periods of depression. I don't think grief ever really ends; perhaps it changes in frequency or intensity over time...but it never goes away. Again, just sharing... Hope all who read this are doing okay. ❤️

I'm not sure how this all works it's my second time here but I've never participated in a group. I need to do something I can no longer live with the pain I feel in my gut everyday. I go to bed at night and pray to God to please not let me wake up to another day. So far he has not answered my prayer.

How does this work? It has been just over 4 yrs and I don't think I have moved on very far.

What is Grief?

Grief is an emotion that is very common.  This emotion is often associated with a devastating loss, such as the death of a loved one. However, we might feel grief after the loss of nearly anything that we loved dearly, including our relationships, homes, jobs, or pets.

It is quite normal for us to feel emotion after losses such as these. Grief is a normal process that all of us will experience at some point in our lives.

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...

New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission.  This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions.  Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront.  Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there.  Not…See More

Speed Weasel commented on Dottie's status
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times?  I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."

"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments.  On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"

My husband passed away

My husband passed away last Saturday after a long illness. His memorial service is next week. We have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 6. I'm glad I found this place. It seems to be a place of great caring and support. I actually registered here a while before my husband's passing, as I was grieving for his loss after he entered a nursing home. He had been there since the end of 2008, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in 2006 and deteriorating quickly. He was only 58 when…See More
