I lost my GF of 20 years 3 weeks ago. I have accepted that she has died but what I can't seem to accept & get over is the fact that I won't ever be able to talk to her, hold her, or hangout with her ever again! It's really hard as I work from home so we were always together 24/7 Plus I have all kinds of triggers around the house! I have spent roughly $400 in memorabilia dedicated to her & her life so that she will never ever be forgotten by anyone! I can honestly say that I will NEVER ever get over losing her!

I have had so much loss and grief in my life, and I feel it stops me from relating to others. I feel angry and resentful, thinking, how can anyone understand. I recently lost my sister to cancer she was 30 years old, with 2 daughters under 10 i hve 4 other sivlings 2 in prison one who just relapsed and one who is doing good like me struggling with family issues our farther an mother died when we were young to drug overdose, 2 aunties to cancer, 2 aunties to suicide, 3 cousins to suicide, an uncle his death was questionable between hart failure and drug overdose. i am the eldest sibling 34, and the pain I feel ... angre is the face of that pain. I just want to say that this, listening to you, is helping ... as your advice on coping, your strategies, humbleness, and your own personal experience is helping me relate in ways I can not find any wear else .. my thoughts are with everyone here experiencing their own grief and loss .

I try to celebrate my son's anniversary of his death by transplanting dandelions in my one of my gardens every year, since when he was alive he used to always bring me bunches of dandelions always telling me " These are for you momma "

My uncle died on June 8th, my birthday is today June 10th and it’s been three years. I’ve been off all day today and couldn’t place why. I feel like I forgot he died but not that he died but his loss and it hurts

This gave me a lot to think about. Thank you.

Thank you very helpful tools. Sorry to hear about your sister but i can related today is the first death anniversary im going through of my little brother.

[debbiejones]

Thank you, this is very helpful. I would suggest, though, alternatives to releasing balloons, given the impact on sealife and birds, would be a good idea, but thank you anyway for the great work you do x

I try to be open to my emotions, but sometimes I avoid them, and then I become like emotionally constipated, if that makes sense

[blesseddaily]

Just pray and trust and ask God to give you strength if you have lost a loved one. And of you are a religious person a Christian grief counselor is also a valuable and healing resource.
