Grief

My mother, 67, died Oct. 7 after many long years of heart disease and failure. My emotions switch with every ticking minute. I'm going to be 45 soon, and it's amazing how much I still need her. Sometimes guilt chides me that, because my whole family depended upon her so much, we shortened her life. She has sensed for some time that she was close to passing from this world. Besides not being in so much pain and illness, one comforting realization has occured to me--- she was ready for her spiritual destination ; we, who are left behind, have much more spiritual work to do here on eath. I know I have massive grief to battle, all the many variety of emotions attached to loss. God help me...it is so very hard.

Huge hug for you opheliama and a blessing... Grief is so very painful and it is a process... I have lost both of my parents and few years ago and what I have found is simply that some things change us forever

It does get easier with time... God will help you .... There is also a Bereavement group on her opheliama

Another hug...x

I first want to say I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my mother March 8th of this year. I still have moments of guilt, grief, and find myself talking to her. Grief is different for all of us and there is no time limit on it. I have a poem that I have shared with many on here that have lost someone. If you would like me to share it with you, please feel free to pmessage me. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss. God Bless GB

So sorry for your loss. I lost my wife from suicide three years ago. Grieving, especially while bipolar, is hard. Wishing you the best as you heal.

I have found the bereavement group on here to to be very helpful:

    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...
