I am really not sure i can do this justice, nor really make a difference so please read this reply in the manner in which it is given .... an offering..... I recently saw an "inspirational" speaker, i was really really sceptical about what he had to say and indeed a lot of what he did say was rubbish, but one thing hit home, and that was, when something emotional hits home, such as the loss of a loved one we have a choice, we either choose to let it ruin us or we embrace it and make it part of us - if we chose the latter we become stronger, and more focused. It may well be that your pain is too much at the moment and if that is the case please dont give yourself a hard time about it....one hour at a time really really is enough.

May peace be with you.

You feel that way now, because you are hurting so bad. You will know when it is time to reach out. Until then, reach out to us. We care. Rainbowmama

I have my daughter living across street from me with grandsons and I have my hubby and son with me. Since i have lost both parents within 3 1/2 yrs i still feel lonely and alone sometimes.Right now i should be with hubby watching grandkids, but I feel yucky, may go to see them tomorrow.

We are all alone in our grief....BUT... here we can for a little while share with each other. None of us grieve the same way, or for the same amount of time, none of us will ever fill the hole that a loved ones passing has left...but at least here, we are all going through it together, and can help each other along the way.
You may feel alone, and beyond help, but one day you will feel different...

We are all finding help with each other. Yesterday was a horrible day for me. I wasn't sure I would make it to today. When I woke up this morning, I really didn't want to. This afternoon, I do feel a bit better. That doesn't mean tomorrow won't be horrible yet again. You are not alone. I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

I feel I can't be helped. I have no family to draw on except my two sons but they are boys and they need me to help them, not burden them. There are a couple of sayings that help me. I am from England living in London and one of these sayings is from our Sir Winston Churchill who is famous here!! He said, "When you are going through hell, keep going!!!" Also, there is this prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference!!" These two sayings help me help myself! Take care and be strong when you can. Frank x

To answer your question, YES. In those first weeks, I never thought anyone in the world could know what I was going through. But over time, I found out that sadly, so many people have had losses and troubles. I love DS because people here tend to be people that want to get better. I think if you stick around you will find that too.

Write me anytime you want, I don't sleep much. LOL

I lost my mom two weeks ago and right now, I feel like I can't be helped. I want to feel better and am tired of feeling all alone - even with brothers and sisters, I still feel so very alone as they don't live around here. Seems like everybody just expects you to keep on going like nothing has happened. Sharon

Oh my yes... It has been 5-1/2 years since I lost Mike. I still feel unhelpable and that the world would be a better place without me quite often.

You are in my thoughts & prayers.

being along is a hugh problem. I have family and friends and yet I feel so alone at times. The DS site is where i find great suppport. There is no easy answer, you have to find it from with in. Time, friends, God, Us. we are all here to help. So truly you are not alone.

Most of the time I feel like I have no friends that I am just alone. My husband is not symphathic I can't talk to him my friends calls but they don't want to listen they have to much going on to listen. The people I work with thinks it's time I moved on, it was 6 month the 24th since my Mom died the way I fell now I am never going to really get over it. I can tell that it is better but I still think about her constantly, she was my best friend too. Talking to to others on this sight has helped me as much as anything has. Don't feel alone there are lots of people right along with you.
Hugs and flowers
