My Story
When I was twelve my mother was murdered then my beloved sweet grandmother died when I was 18. My maternal grandfather died when I was 22. My maternal grandmother died when I was 33 and my final living parent/grandparent died when I was 35. I lived with a lot of loss most of it came at a sudden clip. I'm left with incredible feeling of loneliness even though I've been married for 20+ years and have two wonderful children. It's tough to share my true feelings with my wife because it's so hard for her deal with not being able to fix my sadness. I'm hoping talking to people who have experienced my type of loss may help me.

My heart goes out to you.
My brother was killed in a car accident decades ago.
My mother died from vascular dementia this past April (2020.) Because of the pandemic, I was only able to bury her in July.
I thought burying her, and then having her name and dates engraved on the tombstone under those of her better son would make me feel better. Neither did. I only feel worse. I only feel empty now.
I do not think our sadness can be fixed. I think the best possible outcome is that we learn to live with our sadness.
My heart and thoughts go out to you.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
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

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
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
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
