This week is the 2 year anniversary of my Dad's passing.

Hi everyone. This is really a tough week for me. My Dad passed away on the 12th of July. Thankfully I broke down and went to see someone because not only had I lost myself I almost lost my husband. I realized I needed to go and talk about this to a professional. My husband just doesn't understand grief and depression. Hopefully the antidepressants the doctors have put me on will start working soon. I did realize that I was being selfish in my grief and instead of enjoying my family that is still here with me I was longing to be with the ones who have passed. I honestly realized how selfish I was being. I just pray that things will be ok and that I will start to feel better soon. Thanks for listening.

Which antidepressant did they put you on? And is it helping? You can vent here anytime. I know that venting, journaling, posting pics, etc. does help. I have been on antidepressants myself and I guess they take the edge off, but they are not an end-all be-all if you know what I mean. Support from others that understand is really what I have found to help. (((((hugs)))))

Melissa, Its really bad news that you have lost your dad or husband. I feel so sorry for that. I know its difficult time for you and difficult to deal with this grief. When we lost our loved one, its the worst time in our life. We can't think forward at this time.
I lost my uncle 3years ago and its really hurting me. I loved him so much. Death is the reality of life because its the law of nature. Everyone going to heaven one day. My prayers and condolences for you..........

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

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
