@rms1954   I had a friend that lost her husband, it was not expected..  She took 30 days off...no family, no calls, no going anywhere.  She said those 30 days of no connection with any one really helped her.


That's what I wanted also ... just some time on my own; but it was not honored by my family.  I got bullied and taken advantage of in my time of need.  Telling me what was proper and what I NEEDED to do.  So the family got what they needed and they go on and here I am alone and lost. 


 

 

No, you are not alone, @rms1954  we are here. You can do whatever feels right for you.  Your family will either support you or they won’t. That is OK.

My sincere condolences to you @rms1954 . You are allowed to grieve for however long you want in all the ways that you want and need to.

 

If you feel like you are feeling certain ways that you don't want to be feeling please try seeing a doctor for medication if they recommend it. It can be helpful.

 

I can't understand your pain of the unanswered questions of what happened to your son. But I do have a friend who experienced that in her family and she attends a suicide support group and she finds it very helpful. When/if you are ready maybe you could try that? There is comfort in being around others who have experienced the same thing. You don't even have to talk in the group, even if it's just to listen at first.

Suicide adds another layer to the already unfathomable grief you are dealing with.

 

When you are ready, please tell us about Daniel. @rms1954

Guess I've never allowed myself to be in your condition. Why  do you let yourself go there.Is there no happiness you can think of doing.You need to get professional help with that, and I wish you well.

@HLP 

 

Are you for real???

 

Or hopefully I'm reading your post wrong!

 

No one "ALLOWS" or "DOESN'T ALLOW" themself to be distraught when they lose a child. It's not a choice - it just is!

 

I am so sorry to the OP & the other posters who are living through this - I can't even imagine.

 

I will keep you all in my prayers.

@rms1954 

I'm sorry for your loss.

I lost my entire immediate family in a matter of a just a few years. There were five of us altogether. I'm the only one left and sometimes it's difficult to go w/o tears. Holidays are the worst. Try to stay busy and focus on your own well-being.Heart
