I lost a sister back in 2009. In 2014 my Dad died. He was my hero, my protector. Mom passed 16 months later, in 2016. She was my everything. I never ‘recovered’ after my Dad’s passing. When Mom died my world was left completely shattered, and I’ve been broken beyond repair. A few months after she died I began experiencing emotional abuse from my husband. The year Mom died my son had a heart health scare that turned out to be benign. I myself had a cancer scare. Again, benign. Then my son had a car accident. He was fine, just a few scratches here and there. But seeing the car you’d have thought it would have been so much worse. I went through these experiences without any family support despite having 2 remaining siblings. Nobody once asked how my son is, how I was. Other traumatic experiences were to be had, and again, no family. 3 1/2 years after Mom’s death I’m not any better. It’s been a terrifying existence for me. My son and daughter are my world, and outside of that there’s nothing left. I’m still with my husband but I just ... exist. I have a therapist but am unable to see him as often as I’d like because of financial difficulties. So glad to have found this place. I’m in need of a catharsis.

I just wanted to check on you and see how you are doing. I have been through similar experiences and I’m not feeling to good myself about everything. Mom passed at three and dad when I was 20. I wear the pain daily however I am working through the suffering. I did go to therapy for a year and a half and I must say that it did help. Reach out if you want to talk I’m new on here.

This I can relate to. My mother died from a heart attack. She was 54 yrs ago. We were going to spend the weekend together, and get ready to have Christmas as a family, as I was pregnant with twin girls. The father of the girls saw this as an opportunity to walk out leaving me 5 months pregnant. My grandmother then had a stroke, and was gone by april. I struggled alone to care for, feed, love, my girls. I worked fulltime but was behind on every bill and was almost evicted twice. Courts and attorneys for child support, the attitude and issues of what little help I had, my cats being temporarily removed as the father saying they were a danger to the girls, 2 floods in my apartment... it just goes on and on. It's taken over a year but I started grief support and looked at alternative spirituality and therapy. I'm still recovering from all the suffering. My grief is complicated as well. It's hard not to when its feels unfair and you feel it was cheated by external forces.
