Bereaved People
I notice we have a forum for people whose children have passed on...would it be possible to have a forum for all bereaved people? I have a personal interest in it, having just lost my mother, but I would think it would help quite a few people who might need a little support. Thank you.

Re: Bereaved People
good one red
i do talk to a lot of people that have been through this tragedy and believe it or not talking to some one else thats been through it is one thing that really helps both for the person that has lost a loved one and the person talking  |

Re: Bereaved People
Hi Nomad, thank you. I am sorry you know this pain too. It will be five months on November 4. And November 13 would be my mom's 66th birthday.
 Hi Jimbo, you are so right about talking being helpful to both! I'm not a support group type of person, but in this case, I've been reaching out to people a lot instead of withdrawing inside myself. I still find myself faltering when it comes to knowing what to say to someone else who's lost someone though.  I try hard but sometimes I have to be honest and say I don't really know what to say...but I can listen. I can do that much.  Two of my favorite FG men right here! How cool is that?

sorry to hear that red everyone deals with grief in there own way i don't think any one way is the right way each to there own i guess one thing i do know is that losing a child hurt much more than losing my mom who at least had some life you don't come into this world expecting to carry your child's coffin to the grave its against the natural order of things some how but you do expect to one day have to bury your grandparents and parents it something that you expect to happen one day its more acceptable some how of course this does not in any way make it hurt any less but it seems to go with the natural process of life and death as i know it when my Natasha died i needed to talk to other parents that had lost children to see some how that they survived the tragedy and learned to live again gave me some hope some how, and when i have talked to other poor souls that have lost their children it made me feel better some how knowing that I'd helped these poor people over the greatest loss life can throw at them |

Re: Bereaved People
Aw Jimbo...I hope you didn't think I was saying it wasn't important to talk, because it certainly is! I've been saying things wrong all night tonight for some reason.
I'm sorry!I have heard others say just what you have said, about the awful grief of childloss. I don't doubt it at all. I knew my mom wasn't long for this world but yet I still wasn't in full realization of it. That makes no sense I know. Well, maybe it does. It's just weird. Losing a parent, maybe especially one's mom, is losing the love that created you while losing a child is losing the love you created. You're right, it isn't natural order. I just cannot imagine the scope of your loss, Jimbo, and I'm so sorry for your pain. I really hope you know that. Hamster, thank you too. You guys are wonderful.

Re: Bereaved People
My Mom died when I was twelve. Devatating of course, but I've had a long time to mend.
It's different when you lose a parent as an adult, I'm sure, but certainly no less painful - if for no other reason than that they've been there for you for so very long and now they're not. My condolences to you all. |

Re: Bereaved People
Accountable....I'm sorry.
It seems there are no shortages of the ways in which the passing of our loved ones hurt us all. For me it is still surreal. Seems like yesterday and seeems like a year ago all at the same time. Thank you all.
