It just feels better to type it and really not care for a response. I think it is just healing to put your thoughts to paper(screen). Thanks for accepting me and I'm glad to find this group.
These are the nine survival skills I talk about in depth.
1. Communicate and relate
2. Discover and grieve your secondary losses
3. Express emotion
4. Do something
5. Start new routines and traditions
6. Go outside of yourself and strive to be more loving
7. Trust mystery and the unseen
8. Replenish without feeling guilty
9. Learn to shift your inner focus

I added my picture, hopefully right I'm not very good with computers and stuff.
I may be biased lol I'm a twilight addict lol well for action and a story line yeah New Moon is so much better than Twilight but the first film will always be my favourite...more Edward in it lol
Yeah I get that too, people say we act and think like each other along with looking alike and it does make it even harder. I dont have many pictures of him that are recent in which he doesnt look so ill but maybe I can put my favourite one up of me on his knee as a toddler...I dunno.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it has helped a little just speaking about it. I usually keep things bottled up I'm not good with emotions. I noticed a few people were keeping journals I just don't think I'd know where to begin...and pictures...it's been 2 years and I still cant even look at my dads photos, it hurts even more when people say I look just like him.
Hi. I'm Courtney Rice. I'm in 3 groups but could join more, as I've lost pretty much everyone close. I'm a real mess right now and I need counseling. Is there someone you can lead me to in OGS ? I don't know if distance matters as far as online costs, but I'm near Gilroy, Ca. and I'm pretty much a shut-in, which makes this recent loss just too much. I've already suffered major depression most of my life on top of it all. Please help.
Thank you so much. Sincerely, Courtney Rice
Thank you for your kin thoughts. No, I can only guess what happened... I didn't want to put him through an autopsy... wouldn't have changed anything. I suspect a stroke as his heart was beating when paramedics arrived...just wasn't breathing.
Thank you again..

I just moved to Hanover in March to be with my boyfriend. I know the park quite well, its about 10 mins from me. I love it out there, its a place i like to go to sit and think. thanks for your comment, I'll be sure to post pics of my mom once I'm home. My work computer keeps me limited.
Thank you for your kind words Diana. I am so very for your loss as well. I have figured out after almost two year sof grieving alone, that it doesn't help to be " stuck" in my grief. The Lord has been a great support for me, but I still feel very alone in my grief. Live well, and God bless.

I'm sorry, I don't want you to think this is all about me. I am also sorry for your loss. It looks like you are healing by helping other people. I commend you.
My daughter is going to a therapist and psychiatrist next week to try and sort things out. She spends all of her time trying to get her boyfriend back but he's not coming around. I know the therapist is the best thing for her. Should I not meddle? I can't stand seeing her unhappy. It makes me unhappy that she is so upset. Losing three grandparents in 9 months is to much for her to bear. Her boyfriend has supported her through all of this. I don't think he understands the greiving process. He didn't let her grieve. Just fought with her when she was angry. Oh, well. I guess this to shall pass.
Thank you, Diana, for reaching out. Last night I found the site and just started venting. Didn't realize it had actually been entered online. God bless you for caring about others. Who have you lost? I hope you are finding comfort, and hugs right back to you! Nora
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
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
