Missing Passed Away Loved Ones

I feel like there is a big hole in my heart. Sometimes I get thinking about my loved that is gone. I wish I was dead.

It is OK to feel like there is a hole in our hearts when a loved one passes. But it is also OK to start filling that hole in with love and friendships from others. IT is very rare (impossible?) to find one person who can fill the hole all by themselves, but it is very possible to find a collection of people who fill that hole.

And that does not mean that we do not love them.

I am so very sorry that you are hurting. It takes time, but we can all make it.

So who did you lose?

Gentle hugs

big hugs to you. try to think of things about the person/people that you miss that make you smile or remember the good conversations you had with them. photographs help too. above all take it easy on yourself and rest as much as you can. grief is exhausting.

Big hug for you Blueboy..... I am so sorry that you're hurting..... I have felt like you're describing ... I think many of us have
I've lost my birth family..... for a time all I felt was the grief.... Now I can also celebrate their lives....

They passed in a short period of time compared to how long they lived so I think celebrating what they brought to my life is important.... It's what they would want for me as well I think it's what they deserve

If you have lost people fairly recently mourning is something that we go through.... If you have lost people some time ago and are feeling suicidal sweetie you should seek some medical help.... The loss may have triggered a depression ..... There is good help for depression..... Gentle hug and a blessing.....xo

Hi. Im feeling lost and like im in a dark hole too. I lost my mom 11 years ago and its still so fresh and painful. I find the best thing for me is trying to accept my feelings even when they hurt. Another thing that helps me is distraction. But nothing takes away the inner loss right now.
Hope you start to feel better

    When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*. She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now  almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
