hey im stacey and i just joined this community.
my uncle died in august and none of us expected it, he wasn't ill or anything. Well he sort of was, but not life threatening ill, he was in hospital because his diabetes was getting worse. but it was a simple thing, and it was being treating with medication. but anyway, im basically here because its been months and we weren't that close but i still can't get my head around it, it's as if he's just going to come through the door any minute now, jabbering away as always. he was the most annoying person in the world, but now i miss that. i guess i just don't know how to deal with this is all. any help would be good. and sorry for the big long first thread lol.

For the first 3 to 4 months there is the shock, and disbelief. We have all been through this phase, and it is quite natural.

BTW.....welcome to the community.
Hang with us, and also you could websearch "stages of grief" to learn a little more about what youa re going through, and will go through.
Huggs,

Welcome to our community and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. You'll probably be able someday - if not already - to cherish even the 'annoying' memories of him. The death of my son still brings unusual memories at times of all of his different little personality traits. I'm glad you joined us, and if you ever need to talk, I'm here. Hugs

I think the unexpected ones hit us the hardest. When one of my uncles died 30 years ago, it was unexpected. I didn't like the man at all, but at the same time I was sad for awhile. But because of the way he died, there are still times I wait for him to pop up somewhere.

I know what you mean about not being able to get your head around it! Its been 12 yrs since I lost my dad and I still look for him in crowds or expect him to come wake me out of bed in the morning when I dont get up when the alrm goes off.It has taken me a long time to even begin to mourn.The best thing I can tell you is to just feel whatever feelings you may have,no matter what they are.Cry if you need to,get angry,whatever it takes.He will understand.I hope you find what you need here!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
