"Oh Joseph, I am so sorry! It’s been less than three months for me, and I still find it hard to accept. Be good to yourself!"
Compounded grief with existing anxiety and depression.
During the tragic loss of a loved one or having gone through several tragedies , be it death of a loved one, divorce , personal health issues, or getting older , ect. Sometimes the stress and depression compounded by grief can be debilitating and it may have us feel as if we are mourning our own deaths while we are grieving the loss of our loved ones , We feel as if our own lives are over , Being in this mode can make recovery a longer more confusing process for some. It can be uncomfortable to…See More
"Thank you, Linda! I’ve been getting grief counseling twice a week, and participating in a support group. Dealing with a pandemic during this time makes it that much more difficult. It’s a pretty lonely…"

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

"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
