Scattering Ashes

I got Ariel's ashes scattered on her birthday, October 25th.  At first I thought it'd be just one place where that'd get done, but three others came to mind and kept coming up.  One was the spot where we'd renewed our vows on our 10-year wedding anniversary.  Another was the area in the back yard where we'd buried a lot of the pets we'd had over the years.  A third...well....that was her place.  Those all went OK.  It was sad, but at the same time I could also connect with the good memories…

Associations

A friend had mentioned this, but I hadn't realized how true it was until today. My friend came out to visit a couple weeks ago, and commented on how most places we went I seemed to have some association with Ariel.  She said it'd probably do me some good to get away, to re-set my connections with the world around me.  I didn't think much of it at the time.  It hadn't seemed to affect me all that much before.  Today, however, I took my new camera to a park to test it out some more.  It's a…

Trudging Along Through It

I noticed I haven't posted anything here in awhile, so figured I'd at least put something up...



I got a cremation jewelry necklace ordered today.  It's a titanium cylinder that'll hold a little bit of Ariel's ashes in it.  I'd been thinking I wanted to keep some of her ashes, though most will be getting scattered.  Nothing I had here seemed like it'd do the job.  A friend told me that cremation jewelry's gotten more popular, I guess as cremation's gotten more popular in the last… Continue

Strength

One of the things that'd bothered me a fair amount in the last while was hearing people say, "you're so strong!"  They seem surprised that I'm still getting up in the morning, going to work, getting my bills (eventually) paid, and so on.  The initial reaction was always wanting to scream back, 'Are you NUTS???  Do you have any idea what this all FEELS like?  How in the Hell can you think I'm strong when I'm still so hurt and confused and lost so much of the time?!!"  I certainly don't feel…

So sorry about your loss. I am also new to this group. I lost my Dad on Dec. 28,10.
It was totally unexpected. He was visiting me for Christmas when he had a massive heart attack. It was horrible. The pain is so hard to cope with,especially when you have a family you have to take care of.
My aunt killed herself when I was a baby,but I have always heard the story about all of the unanswered questions. I am so sorry....maybe this group will help us both.

My heart goes out to you.....there are no words that will take the pain away....believe me I have heard them all. I lost my partner the love of my life 5 months ago....he died in my arms of a cardiac arrest. My life has been turned upside down. Just remember you are not alone and this wonderful support group enables you to talk to people that know just how you feel.

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
