Grief is so different for everyone. Sorry for your loss. I know for me I did cry but was also numb for first few months. Then it felt worse as reality sunk in. I lost a mother tho so losing a child has to be so hard. I still feel there is no right or wrong way to grieve.

It is great that you're working through your grief with help.... I am so very sorry for your loss and the pain that you're in

Most of us struggle at some point with survivors guilt and beating ourselves up...…. Gentle hug...… We have a good and active depression board on here as well.....xo

I am so sorry for your loss.

I lost my wife of 21 years on Feb 19 2019 after a 14 month battle with lung cancer. I wont say that i know how you feel because I do not. Losing a child is different than losing a spouse so I can't relate to that type of grief. What I can relate to is a loss that is so overwhelming that it can't be quantified.

My depression has been different for me. I was always the rock of our family. Stoic and solid, but now I am the exact opposite. Depression is different for everyone and it can make us do things that we later regret. Just know that you are taking the correct steps to address it.

Seeing a counselor is a wise choice. We sometimes think that we can tough things out alone and a lot of times that will only make things worse. Group therapy is a bit tricky because everyone is grieving differently and sometimes it is hard to relate to the different types of grief. Just keep an open mind and remember that you are there to address the main issue, grief.

I have had better results from individual counseling. I didn't feel very comfortable in the group session that I attended because I was so much younger than everyone else that was there and I felt like "THe odd man out" as a friend put it.

Just know that you are taking the correct steps to address your own individual grief. It can't be compared to anyone else because we are all different. I hope you find success and peace in your journey.

crying aint got a damn thing to do with grief or pain imo . my 28 yr old son was senselessly murdered nearly three years ago . the life altering loss is beyond measurement . i simply have to piece together the debris and move forward . all i can look forward to is the inevitable justice and my sons son ( nick ) who was born 8 days before jakes death . i think nicks parent and step parent are going to prison and my tears arent going to help nick one bit . very bitter loss but im going to have a job to do . spending too much time grieving would be selfish and unproductive in my case .

i hurt , but a three yr old is about to lose everything that hes ever known ( and rightfully so ) . my pain will have to get over itself .

You are strong for coming to this group and seeking the counseling you need. That is such huge steps. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my young brother last year and I see the toll it has taken on my 82 year old mother. Her baby boy (53) was found dead in his car one block from her house. She spoke to him a couple of minutes prior and he told her he would arrive at her house in 2 minutes, but that he was having terrible chest pains. Thinking he had indigestion since he was burping uncontrollably, she had the Maalox ready for him. He never arrived. She misses him terribly and it is a pain that is beyond measure. No one should have to bury their child. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and all here who are suffering. May you find peace one day...

I believe there is no certain way to grieve, and grief does not have time restrains. When my mother passed away, my daughter was eight years old, and she did not cry for a year. There is healing with tears, so let yourself grieve. I'll remember you in prayer.

sorry for you loss, everyone grieves different seeing a counselor might help I know it help me when my husband was murdered in 2008, I know I cannot compare the two losing a child has to be very heartful I wish you the best of luck on your journey to healing
