I Am Grieving

You would think after 12 years, I would miss my daughter less, that I would get over the loss, but the truth is, I miss her more.

I cannot - do not want to - conceive of your loss. That is the most unnatural occurrence - for a mother to outlive her child. I don’t have the words to say how much I hope you’ve found a measure of peace.

Concerning loss in general - as my life slows down and I have more quiet time - I find those I have lost visit my memory more and more often.

Actually, I would NOT think that you’d “miss her less”. I’m really surprised that you’re still able to function. I doubt that I would be under those circumstances. My thoughts are with you.

@RemovedUsername329422 the story is even worse. i did not know she was in the hospital and was only told after she passed. then her girls were taken away and we were not allowed to see them. took 10 yrs.

@akindheart: Oh, that’s just horrible. I was with my Daddy when he passed. It’s still painful to remember him taking his last gasps of life. It sometimes haunts me. But it also brings a small measure of comfort to know that I could be there for him in the end, as he was always there for me in life. I’m truly sorry that you weren’t able to properly say your goodbyes. That’s heart breaking.

I dont think you ever stop grieving, its been 20 years since my mother died and though its faded to memories now I still think of my mother and father and pray for them. Im very sorry that you feel that way 🤗

@Ian123 i was on facebook and i just knew she would love it. she was on myspace when she was alive. i think of all the changes and know she would love it.

@akindheart Its good to remember but it hurts at the same time. I wish I could suggest something to make it better. Take Care 🤗
😢 I have been thinking about you and your loss, trying to think of what to say here. The thoughts I wish to convey into words just don't feel adequate. Saying that I cannot imagine what you've been through, may be true, but it still falls short.

@BizSuitStacy just the thought that you would care means the world to me.

There is no loss greater than losing a child. We expect to lose parents, grandparents and those who are older, but the loss of a child is a special category. I pray for your heart to have peace.

@lasergraph you know we were not allowed to see her 2 girls for over 10 yrs. the oldest reached out to us and the youngest i met for the first time at my reunion. very emotional.

I never understand people who expect someone to get over the loss of a loved one. How can you possibly “get over” something like that?
akindheart · 61-69, F
@sciguy18 i have a classmate who lost her son young in a car accident. she never mentions it. but i am different. i think of her all the time. wishing she was here.

@akindheart People grieve in their own way and in their own time...
akindheart · 61-69, F
@sciguy18it took me a really long time and that is true
Reality is, it'll never stop. You are strong to have gone this far with a loss of a child.
