My husband died in May 2006 and my mother in July 2006. Your website states that there are plenty of helpful resources available during the first year. That is news to me. Could you please tell me what and where they are.
Thank you.
I just lost my mother. I am from a family of eight children, and was one of the pillers to my siblings as they came and cried on my shoulders. I have not broken down and really let all of this go yet and cried. Is this normal. I have had some very bad thought of doing things to hurt myself, but I just can’t do them. I could never hurt my husband or 10 year old daughter the way I am hurting. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I live in Las Vegas, and I have epilepsy and so I can not drive. (and I will not take the bus) I just want to get into a group that I can communicate with that know how I am feeling and get me help that I need as well.
This is for Megan, I live in Las Vegas too and I just lost my mom 6 days ago. I have four brothers who just left to go to their homes out of state this morning and I’m physically all alone again. I want to help you and I can drive, I have no idea where we can go yet, but I am here for you. Somehow I need to get in touch with you, if you want to meet me, please respond to this and we will figure it out somehow…Thank you!
I LOST A DAUGHTER WITH UNBORN TWINS IN A HOSPITAL. I DON’T THINK I WILL EVERY GET OVER THE PAIN. THERE IS NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON’T THINK ABOUT HER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PERMISSION TO GRIEVE
i accidentially came into your website and i found it to be so inspirational. I lost my 17yr old son 8 months ago in a car accident. And i am trying to deal with the lost as an adult. Your experience as a 14 yr old losing a sister really made me wake up and think how my 14 and 12 old sons must be going thru. I thank you for waking me up and trying to think of not only my grief but making sure i don’t make them not feel invisible. By the way i went into the bookstore to by your book and they didn’t have it. i will order it on line. thanks for the help i think i need.
I lost my dad 6 months ago today to the West Nile Virus. I am having such a hard time dealing with his death. I feel as time goes by it gets worse. I don’t know what to do. I am consumed by his death. 45 days after my dad passed away my best friend whom I had been taking to and from chemo and helping died of cancer. He was only 45 years old. My father and him had dinner together two weeks before my dad became ill. Everytime I go to my moms house I still see them sitting across from each other. I have a son who is 14 years old and when I went to the doctor recently for a cold I told the dr that I was having a really hard time accepting my dad’s death and my son said “Yes she is having a really bad time” so I know my emotions are being seeing by my son. What can I do to cope. I don’t think I can go on much more feeling this way. My dad was 77 years old which I know he lived a long life. But to die from a mosquito bite. He was the 6th person in Illinois this year to die. Thank you
