Grieving

Margo

I feel very lost and alone so many of my family and close friends have passed away. I was 15 when my Mother died, I had my sister to help me through the emotions that comes along with grief. I was young and had my whole life ahead of me, and I knew my Mother won't want me to stop living. I also buried my first husband, father, grandparents, uncles, aunts, friends, but I was not prepared for the loss of my child. It has been almost 3 years since my child died. So much has happened in my life since my child's death lost my job, lost friends and my own spouse has been very unsupportive and down right cruel. I am struggling with my emotions I feel as I am on overload, but for my other child I am trying to pull myself out of this rut.

I recall some information about this from your post in another group.

I am so sorry for your loss, losing children is never easy. It was hard losing my parents, but I sort of knew it would happen at some point. I just did not know it would happen the way it did.

Time will pass, and drag us along for the ride. I guess the trick is to manage the ride rather than let the ride manage us.

Huge hug for you Margo... Grief is so difficult and the pain is like no other... I've lost many of these people as well but not a child... I think sometimes you fake it til you make it in life

A close friend of mine... Actually my sis-in-law's sister Gale lost her daughter last December... She has just finished a bereavement group for parents who have lost a child and she said that it was wonderful... That the people were great and that they helped one another to grieve... Perhaps something like this might be a help to you?... Big hug for you and a blessing... xo

Hi Margo. I am feeling the same way. Lost my hubby about a month ago and my son a bit over a year ago. Both were alcoholics- had liver damage. Hubby had strokes, COPD, from smoking, 5 heart bypasses and on and on. He was so thin when he left this world. I love him and am especially lonesome on Saturdays. During the week I try and get out of the house. Some people sell their homes and move to smaller places but I love what we had here together. I do have to mow the lawn, weed, clean the house, inside and out and will keep up with it as long as possible. Being busy gives me something to do but I know I need to be around people. I go to movies, shopping, out to eat by myself at times. The couples I know are older and seem to argue a lot. It is negative for me to be around them. Life goes on, day by day. Sometimes minute by minute. I hear it gets easier later on. Like a wound healing. I still feel married and that my precious man is with me at all times. I still keep my wedding ring on and most of his things around. I did have to remove his favorite chair because it broke my heart to look at it. He sat in it quite a lot. Sure wish I could offer words of comfort, let alone some joy. Sometimes I watch funny shows just to make myself laugh. Isn't that sad? It does help though. My best to you and know that you are not alone. Not now, not ever. Sharon

Thank you everyone for your comments. I have tried to find a grief support group, but unable to find one I can attend due to my work schedule.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
