"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…"

- About my Loss:
- In the span of 8 months between 2005 and 2006, my dad, grandpa, grandma, and mom passed away, in that order. I was fourteen when my dad had a heart attack, and fifteen by the time my mom died. We were a very close-knit family. My mom struggled with cancer since I was 12 or 13. My dad had a massive heart attack - probably from all the stress and unhealthy coping mechanisms - and died six days later. Then, his parents - they were of a ripe old age, but I think it was the grief that drove them over the edge. They died two weeks apart, a couple of months after my dad. My mom planned all the funerals while getting chemo; not completely on her own, we had supportive family and friends, but it took a toll. She died 8 months after my dad.
I'm 20 now. It's taken me a while to address my feelings - and they've been coming out in weird ways. I've seen quite a few therapists. Right now, I'm between anger and acceptance, it seems; as in I've worked past the anger, and close to acceptance. In any case, I'm finally crying. I'm in a committed relationship and we've been together for about 2 and a half years; I've found myself externalizing a lot of my emotions and being unrealistic about my expectations. I've felt alienated for a long time, and I've never been part of any kind of grief support network.

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
