I have been isolating myself in my bedroom every since November of 2016. I’ll be in my bedroom laying down in my bed watching tv, sleeping a lot, and being on my cellphone all day all the time. But on Friday December 13th roundabout 6 something pm, my aunt had passed away at her residence. They had my aunt’s service and dismissal on this afternoon. My aunt was cremated and her ashes was put in an urn and they had her picture of my aunt on her urn. I’ll miss my aunt.
I’ve been grieving for 8 years over the loss of my fiance and I don’t know how to cope with it
Here I am, my wife died three weeks ago and I really am I pain
My mum died in my arms a year ago.. I have cried probably every single day for a year and I still miss her so much. I take some comfort coming here and seeing that most people on this comment thread have also lost someone so close to them. I am not suffering alone. We are all the same and its catastrophic for us all and I read the same thoughts and words here from strangers all over the world. Lets hope we can all get over this and eventually find peace.
Powerful video. We’ve been very lucky to have the opportunity to meet with Julia when we started our own channel. The reminder that grief is a process, not an event, is so important. We need to be patient and compassionate with those who are grieving.
My mom passed away on October 28th, and my husband’s niece passed away tonight. Too much loss in a short amount of time š
My husband and my son died in 2022 2 months apart. It hurts still today as much as it hurt when it happened it never goes away but you have to try to make the best of it you have no choice.
Different people cope differently. Is it wrong to say i didn’t feel grief with my fathers death in October 2020? I think it was because my fathers death was expected after a long-term illness.
ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø Thank you I needed to hear that
An older person who canāt run, cannot barely walk, is not able to go outside or lives in an older house where the windows do not open.
Grief is very differnt for kids, for young adults and for older citizens
Lost my mother on the 7th of this month. Found her in bed at her apartment. Life is precious.
Recently every night, Iāve been crying for minutes on end. What if my parents arenāt there for my highs and lows, to see me succeed or build my family. Not to mention i am in fact living with my grandparents too. Iāve been through videos and comments to solve it and it really helped. Hope yāall stay safe
Most of my family has passed away. The family I have doesn’t have time to support me . I have one brother left out of my siblings. He seems very detached. I don’t blame him in any way when I say what I say. I am having a very hard time financially because I loaned my son a lot of money in which I wouldn’t have that money back ever and if I could I would’ve given all the money in the world to have him back. I just don’t know how to come back from this. Just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t have a car to get out and go anywhere and don’t have friends that are able to help. If anyone has any suggestions to help me cope I would be so grateful. Thanks and God bless.
Agree
You’re forgetting the most important component of all: Surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Then you find the truth of 1 Thess. 4:13, that believers "… will not grieve like the rest of men who have no hope." I found that true in spades when I lost my son in Iraq. I grieved, but the peace that undergirded me throughout made it an amazing experience. And now that I just lost my wife of 42 years in January, I’m again okay. I noticed I’ve completely bypassed all the grief stages, going straight to acceptance and adjustment. There’s occasional sadness, but I’m largely okay, flowing back into the single life. As the Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor. 15:55–āWhere, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?ā But if you spurn Christ and choose to go your own way, you have to take the full brunt of the grief experience.
My beautiful wife died at 61, on Christmas Eve, after a short illness. I’m seriously struggling with it. I’ve known her for 45 years and loved her for 44 of them. I’m lost and empty but I will find a way because she wants me to.
Great advice. Ty!!
My father passed away on Dec 2 from an aneurysm in the heart, he was only 58 and I feel so lost but I have to be strong for my mother and my babies, it hurts to see them looking for him, and it hurts to know I’ll never see him again
Mix grief and fear together its toxic to the system
Lost my brother 14 days ago .I’m so heart broken man
My nan is about to pass away this about to the hardest thing Iāll ever go through
My brother took his own life one week ago today. I can’t function. I’m so sad. Burst into tears many times daily. I’m lost. I’m heartbroken. I don’t know how to go on. I’m paralyzed.
Thank you what you shared means to much to me ā¤ļø
Can a loss of a loved one cause a family member to suffer from PTSD?
My wife died a month ago at young age. She was only 30. I am now a single dad with my 4 yo daughter.
The flashes of memory come often, and sometimes I have immense fear and concern about my future, any my daughter’s future. What will I tell her when she asks about her mom, will I be able to raise my child a bright kid alone, will I be able to make everything.
And I don’t have answers to most of these questions. I am surviving one day, another, and another. That’s what I can do for now, while protecting my daughter.
Mina, I love you. I miss you so much. There’re many things I’m really sorry for, but at the same time, I’m so grateful that I was your friend, husband and love.
We’re holding up, Mina. Emily is doing well, she is much more brave than I am. Give us strength, I love you!
There is no secret.
My coping mechanism is trying to find any kind positive point to the loss.
For example, if someone was suffering a lot from a incurable medical issue, atleast they’re no longer in pain.
Or try using respectful humour to put something positive in my and others thoughts.
Also, talking about something positive the deceased left us with.
Lost fiance to suicide 3 days ago…I dont know how to go on…
Please don’t despair. There is always someone to help
My friend passed away 78 he was my best friend, I only found out recently, i known him for 15 years plus, itās sad , because we did everything together, he was outgoing person who loved life ā¤he always brightened up my day when Iām in presence, we both helped each other & he knew a lot & shared a knowledge and was very helpful, because he understood me
My husband just passed away Saturday and we are devistated. My house is so empty. Iām afraid.
My fiance pass away after giving birth to our son, it still feels so unreal, itās been hard
I just lost my mom this week. I was by her hospital bedside when she passed. I don’t know what I feel deep inside, I am not crying. I just felt so empty.
my parents died hrribly early 70s . 7 months apart all ive dne is drinksince.
And my mother passed away at our residence on Tuesday night June 5th, 2012 at 10:15pm. She passed away from cardiac arrest which was caused by congestive heart failure. And they had my mother’s funeral service and dismissal on Tuesday morning June 12th and they’ve used one of vault to bury my mother into the ground by using one of those things. My mother was buried at Thomas Chapel Cementary in baton rouge Louisiana. I also miss my mother too.
Here is a simple
āTrickā that I useā¦
Everyone is on their own path just like you are on your own pathā¦paths merge and diverge at differing points and times, paths can be strong or weak; but all of us on our own paths eventually wind up at our ādestinationā, leaving those whose paths we crossed, to finish their own path.
I lost my mother last week, I have never felt this devastated in my whole 44 years of life. Just looking at her belongings can make my eyes bawling uncontrollably. I tried to be busy with my work, but I really can’t find motivation whatsoever. I want to travel, but what’s the point.
Buddha says life is uncertain but death is certain everyone will face death our body is fragile
My mother died last month, my sister died two months ago and my father died 12 months ago! I’ve lost all my possessions to mold including my car and my art business. I’ve lost all my so-called friends because they don’t believe me about the mold. I have no partner, no children, no friends, no job and no home. Completely isolated, alone and everything and everyone has gone. This is a weird time of my life. I think I’m going to buy a van and take off solo travelling around Australia.
