I'm so sorry for your loss, Kelly. I know it's really hard for the people around us to understand and impossible to explain what grief is like unless they've been through it. Does your boyfriend understand and accept your grief? Remember that there is no "getting over" a loss like you've experienced. You only learn to live with it. Please don't feel ashamed or angry with yourself for feeling what you feel; it's your emotions, and they are very real. You suffered a devastating loss, and I'm sure sometimes it feels just like yesterday. Do you have a counselor or therapist you can talk to? Sometimes, it helps just to get things out. You might still suffer from post traumatic shock, and have a lot bottled away inside of you, which we all are forced to do to get through our daily lives. Please take care...I hope this helps a little. Sara My advice is from my own experience; I am not trained in any medical field. |
"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)
