hi, just found this group. i am hoping to have people to check in with and talk to about grief..strategies,,experiences.. I lost both my parents within 4 months of eachother.. my mom has been gone 64 days. my dad 6 months. they were healthy, vibrant..supportive, interesting, loving and supportive...We were very close. Sailing, golfing. entertaining.. over. my life has a vacency that i can't even grasp yet. i am: a nurse on LOA until 2 more weeks. Trying not to feel alone..no one can understand except people who have been there or are there... I am trying to re-structure my life. i am spiritual, not religious and read a lot about after=life (Talking to Heaven) I have a few people in my life that are consistant and loving support but they have not had the experience...i appreciate them very much..but there is a rawness to this that sometimes is overwhelming and can only be understood by people who are there. thanks for listening...just doing the best i can to reach out. t.

  I am sorry to hear your loss and I can feel your sorrow in your words. I really can't relate to the parent thing but I lost my oldest child on Febuary 9, 2007 and I do the feeling of not being understood. The loss and hurt, confusion, anger is all the same when you lose someone you are close to and love so dearly. Please know here you are not alone. We all know what you mean and you can find great support here. I am not going to lie to you and tell you it gets better because it doesn't you just learn to cope with it on a daily basis. We have what they call a new normal now and all you can do is take it day by day. I talk to my daughter everyday and some people think I am crazy but I don't care. I am not close to my mother and my dad killed hisself about 8 years ago but that was no loss to anyone. He was a pervert so some children are probally safe now. But as far as you pain I can relate. We are all here for you and I will keep you in my prayers. If you ever just need to to talk you and email me on my personal email. Its trishwolney@yahoo.com. Remember you are not alone. Hugs to you.

Welcome! All is welcome to Grieving hearts. This group is designed for people who have lost loved ones.
