Common Questions and Answers about Dealing with death quotes grief

death

Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.
Avatar n tn the funeral is this week and i dont know how she is going to be,im worried because she isnt more upset or is this just her way of dealing with this. we do speak to her about it and speak about her friend but she seems to show no emotion at all.
Avatar m tn the rest of the post was supposed to be -- maybe if you were to talk with someone who specializes in dealing with people who are in grief, it will help you also. Good luck, dear. It is possible to feel more like yourself, even though you don't forget what happened.
424549 tn?1308515502 I can relate on a level of losing my mom but not to death, to prision for 5 years so it was hard I was left to raise my little brother whoi died at 14 in 2004. I am dealing with thta I turned drugs when he got killed and I am now practicing a recovery program clean and sober. It has been truly rough. I have lost 2 brothers, 6 friends, granparents, pets and so much more in the last 10 years I have became a pro at not feeling grief or accepting.
424839 tn?1268186246 If you hope for a peaceful death as the final summation of your life, live each and every day with vitality, never failing to take everything that happens as an opportunity to open and expand your inner life, exerting yourself to the fullest in the place you find yourself now.. If you lose today, win tomorrow. In this never-ending spirit of challenge is found the heart of a victor.. Being halfhearted is such a waste.
Avatar f tn I have lost my bestest friend in the whole world to liver failure, my daughter in law to drugs, my brother in law to cancer, and my little wee dog to pneumonia and diabetes, and all in the last 6 months. Some years ago, I lost my Mom, my Dad and my eldest son. I have come to live with a certain amount of sadness that has overtaken my life and it does not go away with time.
Avatar n tn not eating, not sleeping much, tears, needing to be alone, fear. I keep going over that last final day of his life, wondering what could have been changed, could I have done something to prevent it. There were witnesses to his death and I made the mistake of reading the accounts and the scene is now looping over and over again in my head, 24/7. The little bit of sleep I've gotten results in horrific night terrors. My grief has turned my life upside down in other ways.
Avatar f tn I'm sure that many of us on this site that have been addicted to pills have had friends that are addicts that have not been able to stop and have paid the utlimate price. i'm 68 days clean from methadone and a 15 year opiate addiction.In the past 60 days i have buried 2 of my friends. Both died "pill related" deaths. Both had kids the same age as mine. The childrens grief is almost too much to handle.
Avatar n tn Communications with deceased family members or friends take many forms including seeing them, hearing their voice, feeling them touch you, smelling their cologne, perfume or a favorite flower, sensing their presence or experiencing signs such as electronics turning off and on spontaneously, finding coins in unexpected places with the year of their birth or death, and seeing the deceased in vivid dreams.
Avatar n tn Grief, in my opinion, is something we all deal with differently. It can hit you at any time or place. It seems like you are doing everything you can do deal with your grief. I didn't take any anti-depressants because I felt I needed to feel the pain and anguish of grief so I could heal rather than suppress my emotions but that does not mean that you should do the same thing. You have to deal with your grief with whatever helps you the most.
Avatar n tn I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME DEALING WITH THE LOSS OF MY MOM. SHE DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ONLY HALF MILE FROM HER HOME. I FEEL THE HER LOSS IS GETTING WORSE FOR ME AS THE MONTHS MOVE PAST. I LOST MY DAD IN 1996. THE SUDDENESS OF HER UNEXPECTED DEATH AND THE VIOLENT WAY SHE DIED FROM HER INJURIES I CONSUMES ME ALL DAY AND NIGHT. MY MIND IS ON 24/7 GRIEVING HER. I DO START GRIEF COUNSELING NEXT WEEK I AM HOPING IT WILL HELP.
Avatar f tn I think you may be dealing with simple (sic) grief. You've lost a great many people in a relatively short span of time. You barely had time to process the loss of one person before you lost someone else. This would be a shattering experience for anyone, but more so for someone fairly young, which for some reason, I have assumed you are. That your families had this lack of communication thing going on, then reuniting, and then a death...........
424839 tn?1268186246 In the first place it provides us with the courage to challenge both life and death. It enables us to see death not as some terrifying unknown but as a normal phase of existence that alternates with life in an eternal cycle. Second, it teaches us to treasure the life we are now living and to try to make it as worthwhile as possible.
Avatar f tn Instead the stress manifests physically to where I start vomiting with excruciating stomach cramps, and then end up in the hosp with dehydration and electrolyte replacement. This is so frustrating as I logicaly know whats happening but physically i cant stop it. And the way to stop the CVS is IV fluids and meds. I think im going crazy. i do have a good doc and therapist. It's just that the last 19 yrs my life was my kids, now i dont even know what my life is.
Avatar n tn Please know that you are not the only person that have had problems dealing with grief. I myself had simular issues after my dad passed away. It went on for about a year and I finally realized that I needed help. It was the best thing I ever did. It set me free. I will forever miss and love my dad, but now I know how to cope with the emotions.
Avatar f tn then very dear friend of mine on March 29th and then lost older brother (by ten months) who was 62 and had been diganosed with stage four throat cancer in November on March 30th of this year. It has been a struggle for me as also dealing with my own health issues but really miss almost daily contact with each of them; being pretty much home bound (some from lack of energy fromFMS and other causes as well as nerve damage etc.
Avatar f tn how do I initiate a conversation with someone who has recently lost his wife about what triggers his depression?
Avatar f tn Please forgive yourself, there is no way of knowing when someone is going to die. My dad was in the same house as my mother and when he got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, he dropped dead of a heart attack. Mom did not find him for an hour or so later. Sometimes even being in the same place does not mean you are there when they die.
Avatar m tn he is on parole so the state makes him pay for it. yes he has relapsed before and stated he was done. like I said it has been over a year clean then one day BANG! he decided to do this. I am not sure how to deal with this. I am fed up but see him mostly sober of it. he doesn't use frequently but when he does, it is excessive. nothing even happened in our lives to make him use. same routine up go to work come home eat and then bed.
470885 tn?1326329037 I can't believe that it's been so long time-wise - although, in my ways, it seems like it was yesterday. My mom had renal cancer, suffered for far too long (a lengthy roller coaster of a decline spanning 4 years) and so it was a blessing to finally see her at peace....but I still miss her SO MUCH!
