I lost two sons in three years and I am having a hard time dealing with it. I have flash backs of what they looked like when I had to see their llifeless bodies. i close my eyes to go to sleep and wham! There's the vision.
Also, I am disappointed in the people that I thought were my friends, I feel completely abandoned.Is this all normal or is it a part of grieving? Right now, I don't even know where I am in the grieving process.If I try to think of my oldest son who was killed most recently... it's like my bind just goes numb. Thanks for reading my post and letting me vent.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
but I have found friends too...
Real people who care..A post on DS once said...we can't expect caring from one who has no caring in them...I think we have to accept our grief and try to take as good care of ourselves as we can..We will never be the same..but there is a life for us if we can make it through another day...
One day at a time..and counting your blessings helps too...I find..Here is a big hug...and Please take care of Yourself.....Dinahlee
The reason we have a place like DS is because people on the outside do not understand and are uncomfortable with death. We are all over the map with the grieving process, so don't bother trying to figure it out, cause once you do you will be in another place.

You're not wrong feeling this way. Do you have any other children? Without reviewing your profile, I'm assuming that you've been left without your closest family members.
I feel abandoned (by a family member) for a different reason and by some who were close to me during Mom's illness. But I believe you owe yourself something - you're not wrong.
Have you told people that you're really in a place where you could use more support? In light of how close your lost loved ones were, I think you should tell those you feel abandoned by that while you're trying to move on, as best you can, their support is instrumental.
I wish I could put it in better words but I really think you should tell people how much you need them right now.
I'm learning, after Mom died how some people felt when they lost loved ones. After awhile, it never occurred to me that they might still need my phone calls, etc. I'm learning now but sometimes we need to be told. I would, if I were you.
Most people are unprepared to deal with someone whose loss is so deep. They are afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing so they don't say or do anything and that in itself is very disturbing to those who hurt.
For the first 2 years I had no other men to talk to and I was miserable and felt so alone. I wish DS was there at that time.
I am very sorry for your losses and I hope that you will keep reaching out to those who have deep losses such as yours here on DS.
I will say a prayer for you today... that God will help you through.
God Bless You,
Tim (Jenaes Dad)
