Amy, your comment is exactly what I needed to hear today and I thank you for it. I am having such a difficult time in the aftermath of losing my love. The aftermath where all the people you hoped would be there for you actually turn and run for the hills. I try to have compassion because they do not understand. Your words landed in a very critical place for me and I am so glad I read them. Thank you.
It's been 7 months, and I'm regressing. I feel like lashing out. I feel like making a poster for "Rules of Grieving." Rule Number 1: do you REALLY have to ask days, weeks, months, even years after the event, "what's wrong?" when you find me in the middle of the wave. Rule Number 2: the wave definitely has triggers, but it can still come whenever it wants to. Rule Number 3: threats (e.g. you'll lose your job if you can't pull it together, you'll miss out on life if you can't pull it together) don't make the wave better, they just pile on and make a bigger wave. Shame on those who do that.
Yea what's wrong - what a friggin JOKE!!!! Somebody said that to me 2 weeks ago and I said - REALLY? WHATS WRONG?? - people don't know what to say and I don't know what to say to them, I hate that they are normal going on with their lives... I feel so bitter and so cheated. I'm sorry for everybody who is new here, here we can say how we feel whether it be good or bad.
Emily - this is NOT your fault, you cannot hold yourself responsible. He made the choice and I am so very sorry it was at your home, that is just wrong. We will never know what our loved ones were thinking and that is the most difficult thing of all I believe. My 18 year old son overdosed and my life is forever changed. I will never understand why, how he could do that drug, he was so beautiful and loving but he had demons that we couldn't help him with. His bday is next week and I am in terrible shape, I don't know how to be here without him. All we can do it make it one minute and one day at a time and some days are easier and some are not. Hugs to everybody on here
I lost my younger brother, who was one month shy of 33 years old the day after Christmas this past year to a sudden massive heart attack. Since then I have talked almost daily with his widow to be there to speak with her about whatever she wanted to talk about. I wanted to be useful as a way to help ease mine own grief and it helped a little bit but not really enough. This situation has also called out and added to some fracturing within my family. I want to let my grief happen and process it but all these stresses make it difficult. I am just looking for a little bit of help and advice in this darkling time.
sorry for your loss. 5weeks ago yesterday my little brother , 36yrs old came over to stay the night and overdosed during the night on pain prescription pills. I found him the next morning. my heart is still in shock and angry too
I lost my best friend to an overdose yesterday. It happened suddenly and horribly, in my apartment. He was smiling and laughing 24 hours ago and now he's gone. My heart is shattered into a million pieces. I feel like if I had done something different he'd be alive. We were watching TV, cleaning my apartment, and he went to lay down. I heard him snoring, didn't know anything was wrong. I checked him again a little later and it seemed like he wasn't breathing. he had taken part of a bottle of my prescription medication. I called 911 was on phone with them they were directing me how to do cpr I did it till paramedics arrived. They tried and tried to rescusitate him but he remained in cardiac arrest. I can't stop blaming myself. I should have checked on him more. I should have sensed something was wrong. If I called 911 sooner mabe he wouldn't have died. I shoudnt have had my medication in my room I should have locked it away somewhere. I should have told him he couldn't come over yesterday. I keep going over and over everything in my head and thinking if I had done something, something different he would still be here. My heart is shattered. The coroner came and I was present for all that. It was awful. And I feel awful for his Mum I know his family's hearts are breaking too. Its so hard to make it through each hour, each minut without him. The pain is tremendous. I hope he knows how much I loved and cared about him.
im so sorry for new 1s as well as old 1s on hear coz of loss all i no had loss non stop i no im not on my own on hear no 1s on own on hear
