Common Questions and Answers about Dealing with death loss and grief
death
I am so sorry for your loss. There is no greater loss than that of our child and nothing is ever right with the world again. I totally agree with you, there is a void inside that cannot be filled, an emptiness that serves as a constant reminder of who we are missing. Big hugs...we're always here for you.
My mother died in my arms on July 19th and I will never be the same. She was 70 yrs. old and the grief that me and my family have experienced has been life changing.
I miss going to her when I have a problem. I miss her voice and I just can't believe that my mother is gone. I had huge losses.
I have a friend who lost his wife a few months ago to cancer and is having a very hard time dealing with it. Yesterday I received another email from him (I live 300 miles away) and following is an excerpt of that email;
" I"m not doing very well with this situation here. I don't know how people survive the sadness, loneliness, pain & guilt. My daughter said, why do you feel guilty, dad? I told her it's because she's dead,and I'm not.
Having gone through therapy after my loss, the specialist in grief said that our mind protects us. And this is a good thing. The feelings after a death can be so intense that one can't function (me). Overwhelming loss can be too much to handle at times. Especially on days like an important anniversary. It was their recommendation to make it a special day for myself. In the early days of a traumatic loss, it's okay to take measures to make sure you get through the day.
s father whom I loved (my wedding was also postpone), dear family friends and my brother loss his first child 2 weeks before Christmas. Death brought me and my family to my knees, so I also understand your pain and I know the terrible grief that accompanies losing a beloved pet that were beloved members of our family and offered us an abundance of unconditional love. Just last night I created a brand new forum here called, "Pet grief support - "In Memory of Our Pets".
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.
it would be good to get some grief counsesling and maybe visit the grief forum to share your experience. I know my dad was self destructive and died at a very young age and I was very angry with him for a while for leaving my mom in dire striaghts and for not taking better care of himslef so he could be with us longer. I went to alot of therapy to work through this and I am ok and I miss my dad alot.
I read no offer of support in helping to cope with loss and grief another is experiencing. Instead, what I do see is someone that wants to benefit from anothers grief and struggles from their loss. When I read sunlitsky's post, I felt like my soul had been trampled on. The thought of someone wanting to gain from my grief and loss... How low will a person go. It would be a different story if you were asking someone you knew or had met, to share their experience....
That really kicked up the PTSD, I have memory loss, ect. and now also have a diagnosed with cyclical vomiting syndrome, which is tied into the PTSD.I am trying to process this grief but I just can't seem to get there.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.
Hello- last week I experienced the death of a close relative after trying to resuscitate him. The next day I found out I am pregnant. I'm 7 wks along and struggling with the grief and worry over how it will affect the baby. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Thanks in advance.
Anyone else dealing with grief and having to take anti-depressants. I have not had any problems with depression or sleeping prior to my dads death. I have not ever lost a loved one, this is the hardest blow I have ever been dealt with in my life, and I am not coping too well.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am at my wits end as to what to do.
And how long should I be taking antidepressants. And how long does it take for them to kick in.

What you are experiencing is extremely common, and normal. When we are dealing with the loss of a loved one, it brings our own mortality into sharper focus.
The death of someone we love is unquestionably, in my opinion, THE most stressful life event we must all endure. And that stress can manifest itself in countless ways, anxiety being very close to the top of the list.
My mother died in my arms and I had 7 deaths in 8 months, loss my job and my beautiful dog Toby died also. Death was hanging out in my house and among my friends. I have been to hell and back on my knees and God has given me the strength to be a survivor. I have learned that death is not to be feared, why? It is part of life and we must accept what we can't change, but not fear death.
