Grief

quiting
I give evryone here great credit for staying with this /or ANY internet group. The "trolls' or what ever they are called scary. I even tried to find a closed/private/moderated group, but again one has to sift thru too much garbage. good luck to all of you. Trish ... 24 Nov 2007 23:08

Guilt
Hi Everyone, Years ago , my ex-husband & I [and I have no idea why this even came up] aked our sons to forgive us for not being the parents we felt we should hve been.

"Please be Gentle" an after loss creed by Jill Engler
Please be gentle with me, for I am grieving. The sea I swim in is a lonely one, and the shore seems miles away. Waves of despair numb my soul as, I struggle through each day. My heart is heavy with sorrow. I want to shout and scream and repeatedly ask, "W H Y?" At times, my grief overwhelmes me, and I wee... 24 Nov 2007 08:05

Trying to have a new outlook about the holidays...
Hi everyone. I haven't written into the group in a long time but I thought since we are about to hit the holiday season with a bang I would write in.

I'm Coming Along
Hi. I'm new to this group. My remaining parent, my father, passed away on July 2, 2007. My mother died on April 19, 1987. I had my dad for 20 years after my mom died and before he passed. I feel a huge empty void for both of my parents, yet there's nothing I can do to fill it. I'm married and have three kids, so ... 21 Nov 2007 15:25

When family doesn't understand your grief
Does anyone identify or have a family like mine? My little sister died when I was 14 years old. She was only 11 months old and died of sids. My Mom and my step dad had a quick funeral. After the funeral, my Mom went to work. We had no more pictures of Chrissy on the walls or anywhere. In fact, unless my younger sis... 21 Nov 2007 15:25

I raced to his home, 3 miles away from mi... 23 Nov 2007 10:04

Counselling in the UK
Hi all, I have been away from the group for about 10 months now, trying to deal with this in my own way. I see now that it is just not working, so I thought I would ask in the group whether anyone has any experience of the bereavement support organisations in the UK? Positive or negative comments are welcom... 23 Nov 2007 12:19
