Don't grieve alone.
My prince
i lost my life partner on june 1st from a horrific auto accident right outside my driveway…not only did i hear it happen, but i wasalso the first on the scene with his brother…i am a nursing student and my first aid did kick in but when i reached down to find a pulse i could not find one and by the position of his body and all his extremities i knew it was bad…he was life-flighted to the hospital after 45 minutes and the doctors worked on him all night which gave me false hope there was a chance for him…around 530 in the morning a nurse held me down in a chair at his bedside and went through all the things that were wrong with him and told me i had to make the decision to let him go as his brain had started to herniate and was now leaking from his nose…after physically inspecting every inch of his body tring to find something that felt real and alive, i had to succomb to let them take him off the machines…i now suffer from PTSD with depression…i did start grief therapy this summer and am currently on meds…my counselor says i have not gone through the grieving process yet and if i do not says i will wind up becoming pathological and may have to be hospitalized…i do not want to let him go…

Hi Kristine, My Parents lived with us, so they had their own room which is still the same minus the their bed because we took that out when they got sick we had to get hospital beds, and you know they came and took those just as soon as they passed!…
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…

Wow~your story is almost a mirror of mine, though I never had children. (My cats are my kids). How do you do it? Survive so many losses without dying inside? You must be in better physical and emotional shape than I. I can't get out of bed for the m…
I am creating this site for the many of us who have suffered several losses. I lost my mom, dad, grandma(2nd mom), grandpa, my beloved dog and divorce.
Many of us have lost more than one person or event.
Come share!
I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.
For everyone that has lost their Dad.
Thank goodness other people have posted the dumb and insensitive remarks that have fallen upon their ears too!!!
I lost my son on Thanksgiving Day to a drug overdose which is hard to internalize but what people say can be so insensitive!

Hello Kristie, I had a few good days as I told you about. But today wasn't. Just Every month since Desiree's death and my miscarriage that followed i have thought that i was pregnant. Now mind you it has been nearly 2 years since Desiree and about a…
These are amazing experiences. I love to read them. Keep them coming. They certainly have a healing effect. At least for me, anyway. They really make me smile and feel more comfortable.
I understand your struggle. Dealing with death isnt an easy part of life. I am sorry for ALL your losses.
I lost my mom 3 years ago to liver cancer. My dad hadnt been in my life since I was 7 and all my siblings were much older than me. I was the b…

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

It’s a unique feeling, when it finally dawns on you that someone who has been a part of your life for such a long time is no longer there. It’s a sickening realisation that stops you in your tracks. In your mind you can visualise the person, smiling, talking, living, but when the vision fades you realise that this is now your only connection to them. Through memories, photographs, anecdotes and, on a higher plane,...Badge
