I think that expecting the hurt to end this soon is just too much to expect. You have had a great loss and in some ways a part of you. No need to feel guilt however hearing that likely does not change your feelings. Your feelings are yours and there…
i have the same feeling. I lost my brother last january 11, 2010 and it hurts so much. I feel unmotivated, disoriented and just want to sulk. I feel that there no sense in anything I do. I miss my brother so much. I cry a lot especially at night whe…
Rachel, I understand where you are at - January 20 was my brother's birthday - he would have been 49 but he was killed on his motorbike two months after his 18th birthday. It's been 40+ years since he died, but you never forget to think of them, esp…
I am so very sorry. You must be in enormous pain. Anything I can do?
When you figure out how to not be so emotional and sad for the loss, let me know. Its not an option for me.... its just reality right now. I lost the most important person in my life, emotional and sad are just here to stay for a while for me :-(
I really hope so, but right now it doesn't feel like the pain is going to ease off any time soon. Tonight I am staying up here at her house with my step dad and sister, I can smell her sweet scent and feel more comfortable than I have all week since…
Oh honey I am so sorry to hear that you lost your mom. I know that losing your mom feels like a part of you is also gone. I can't tell you it will be ok but I can say that I will pray for you and your comfort. I can say that for me that extreme pain…
I am praying for you! Praying the Holy Spirit wraps his arms around you and holds you and comforts you and your friend during this terrible time! Big hugs ((()))) K
I saw your post title...how can I function normally again?...and it caught my eye b/c I wonder the same thing myself. I feel like I am going crazy. I am so sorry to hear about your brother and I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to say good bye. There…
My best friend's girlfriend hung her self early Tuesday morning. My best friend also found her and tried to revive her, but it was too late. I want to know how I can be as supportive as possible while grieving my self over a recent loss of my brothe…
if you have lost someone by suicide post your thoughts here.
Please pray for me as I am having such a hard time with my brother's death, his birthday was last week and it's been very hard. And please pray for me to be strong enough to support my best friend this weekend as we go to her girlfriends funeral. He…

- About my Loss:
- My brother suddenly died on Sept. 21, 2009. We were only 4 years apart and I feel I will never be the same. One day I'll be okay, the next I can't seem to function. I am pretty sure I am still in denial, but I feel like I would rather stay there. We did everything together wehn we were kids, and spent alot of time together as adults. I just want somrone to talk to

Dear Connie: My heart goes out to you. I lost my Daddy May 7, 2010, just 8 weeks after my younger brother died unexpectedly. My Daddy & I also had some bumps in our relationship through the years. He was 84 years old, but I wasn't ready yet. I won't…
It's only been 2 weeks for me so I may not be going about this in the "right" way but if it is just a cashier or waitress or somone I dont know and will probably never see again I just say "Fine.. thank you". because I dont know them and if I try to…
Dear Connie, what you are feeling is typical. you are covered in grief and a million thoughts and emotions are drowning you. You don't know what end is up and total confusion is normal. I was in the same boat, my father passed away March 4 unexpecte…
Hello Everyone, I just found and joined this website earlier tonight in the middle of a bad crying spell that went on most of this afternoon. My father passed away a month ago yesterday from a heart attack. He went into the bedroom to change into…
For everyone that has lost their Dad.

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell

The Gift That Freed Me To Give
A significant lesson for me has been understanding and accepting that our greatest gains often come through experiences in our lives that may be extremely painful. My father, Raphel Orval Beason, died less than four months before I was born at the age of 19 in an explosion at the Port Chicago U.S. Navy arsenal near Oakland, Calif. He was among 320 men killed on July 17, 1944, when two merchant ships blew next to...The loss of a son
Mother's Day will always be the anniversary of my son's death, no matter what date it falls on. May 9, 2010, the day I lost a piece of my heart. I have vivid memories of that day but they are brief glimpses only. He called that morning to tell me Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I remember being 250 miles away from my home, my other child and my family. I don't know...Try tapping, it works wonders...
I don't often recommend specific methods to help with grief. But the self-help method I'm going to tell you about - EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques - is well worth making an exception for. Basically, it involves tapping on the acupuncture points to tap into your body's own energy and healing power. If you think that sounds a little far-fetched and woo-woo, so did I. In fact, I starting doing EFT on myself for chronic...Daughter of Suicide
It has been 22 and a half years since my mother’s suicide in October 1987. I look at that number – 22 – and it startles me. It’s hard to believe that I have lived more of my life without my mother, than with her. During those first 10 years after her death I carried the heavy load of her suicide every waking moment. I struggled with my own depression and feelings of abandonment and...8 practical ways to help a grieving family
When a friend or family member experiences the death of a loved one, we quickly offer our condolences and help. Listed here are eight practical suggestions for helping a friend or family member that has just suffered a loss. 1. Offer to answer the telephone or answer emails at the family's home. Telephone calls and email can take up a considerable amount of time. Take messages and give information to friends and family. 2. Volunteer...Badge
