"Welcome to the group. I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too. Reading through your story really touched a chord with me. Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a 52 year old mother who lost the yougest of her three children. He was only 25. Icalled him Nathaniel because it means a gift from God. They say it was an overdose that he died of. They say April 8th, 2009. But I say April 7th 2009.
- About my Loss:
- I would give anything in the wqrld to have been with him holding him in my arms that night. Nathan had a hard time struggling with life, love, and alcohol and drugs but he was still my gift from God. I feel very guilty over his death like I could have changed that last day or that last week or the last fights or especially the last things I said. It was five months ago and it feels like its even getting more painful every second of every day. There's many times that I don't want to be without him.

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

We all share the bond of grief on this website and after the tragic death of my 33 daughter daughter (and only child) I found compassion and understanding with the other members.
Like you there are so many times I feel I just want to be with her...
My experience with this "thing called grief" is that it gets worse before it gets better and others have told me it never really leaves us, we just learn to cope with it as the days go on. (my daughter was killed in a tragic accident on Memorial Day of this year)
Writing about my daughter has really helped me cope and sharing with the other members seems to help.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Laura
