I step outside and hear the surf break. My heart tells me daily to go. I am afraid that if I do, my tears will outnumber the grains of sand and everyone shall drown.

Karen, I am sorry for the loss of your husband. My father too died suddenly. He went to sleep at night, and never woke up again. 1 year, 1 month, later I lost my husband to murder.  Your pain is just so fresh and I can understand you. I feel as if I just want to join my husband and be with him again. There is days, that I just rather stay in bed all day and do nothing. However, as unfair as it sounds, life does not stop, it keeps moving. And somehow, I have to find the strenght everyday, to get up, go to work, come home and care for my son.. Its a HEAVY weight I carry.. I just want my husband back!

I am here for you. Thank you.

Karen, I don't know any details of your grief or how old you are, but I had a similar experience.  My husband passed away suddenly at home from a massive heart attack.  He died on the 35th anniversary of our meeting.  He had been sick for many years but it was still a shock to me to get out of bed and find him on the floor already gone.  I have been told that he wouldn't have even known what was happening to him so all the pain is with the people who are left behind.  This happened in February 2009 and although I can now get through each day without wanting to join him I still miss him so much that it hurts.  I don't have any support from his family due to a fallout years ago but I have my two children to help me.  I hope that you have someone that can be with you when you need them even if no words are spoken, sometimes that is all that is needed.  Know that it does get easier to bear but the pain and loss never go away.  Just keep breathing and know that you are not alone.  Feel free to message me any time and I will keep you in my prayers.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
