Bereavement Support Group

Some days are really hard, Charlotte. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the loss any easier when you miss your loved one. I feel a great sense of loss too and it's been a very long time.

You aren't alone.

I am sorry for your loss and I can so relate. "They" tell me it will get better in time, but it seems to have gotten more difficult at times for me. I lost my mom 3 and 1/2 months ago and the longer time passes, the more "real" her death and absence becomes. But I am trying not to dwell or obsess on what I have lost, but more on what mom has gained in her after life and the journey she is now taking. I know some day I will be reunited with her again. I am going to trust that "they" know what they're talking about and that it will get less painful as time continues to pass. Hugs to you Charlotte!

Im sorry for your loss and I hope the days are more easy than hard.

Thank you for the support and understanding. It seems like when my daughter Ashley died, I went numb.....now 8 months later, the numbing has worn off and I can not help feeling the full effects of the pain......it feels like half my heart went with her, and noone can live with only half a heart!!! :(

Charlotte I am sorry for the loss of your daughter.As a mother who lost a child, I can understand your pain. It's been 5 yrs since I lost my son but the pain is still there, it has lessened some. I have had to learn to live my life differently for sure. My heart goes out to you, it's a journey we have to go through. I found a group here on DS called FOR MOM"S ONLY to be very helpful, you may want to check it out. You will be in my prayers........Lori

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Time does not seem to help. I don't think we ever "get over it" or really "move on." I think we just keep pushing forward carrying the heavy memories. My mom is struggling so much, and I can't stand that my little brother died a year ago. I'm pushing forward with my life, but it's as though it happened an hour ago.

It's the missing them in our daily lives that hurts so much. I can stand there and cry looking at his favorite coffee cup and feel heartbroken that he's not here having morning coffee with me.

Have a good cry when you need to, or talk about it, that seems to help a little for me.
