I lost my mother and brother

Hi,

Every one I wanted to come here express that I have lost my mother and brother in a short span of time. I also lost my father some years ago. I have found as time goes on this is getting increasingly difficult. It's unlike any thing I have ever experienced before. I am in deep grief and wanted to to share it with others. I understand the grief of it all and understand it well. What has been some of the go to things anyone has done to help with their grief?

 

I

am here for you

 

Thank you very much. What has been some things that you have relied upon to get you through grief? If you have any thoughts please let me know.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Watkins

 

It’s hard to say, I lost my mom when I was 10 my dad I was 16 my grandfather I was 16 and my grandmother who was my whole world April 22nd out of nowhere I try to live life knowing they are watching over me and want me to be happy but it’s hard

 

Honestly the only thing that has helped me is to keep my mind busy with my Hobbies. I think the only thing that will truly help with our Pain is Time, and however you need to pass that Time do it. Be it Work, Entertainment, Exercise, whatever it is just keep yourself busy. In between you will find Time to Process what has happened, what your New Life is going to be, and when your ready Move Forward. I think thats all we can do. ALL our lives have changed because of what happened, and not for the better.

Grief is a Selfish Beast. It cares nothing for Logic or Reason, it only cares about Emotions, OUR Emotions. It will Feast upon your Misery and Doubt. The best thing we can do is limit how much it Feeds and learn to Control it.

I dont know how much any of I said will help, because I am right here with you. I am still trying to find my way forward, one step, and one day at a time. None of us asked for this, none of us deserved this, but we have to accept it.

 

Hi,

I am just seeing your message. Thank you for your message. Yes you're right grief can be a monster that feeds sometimes. I absolutely notice if I keep my mind busy then I am okay. And you're right your life completely changes. It's undeniable and something we just have to find a way to walk through. What brings you peace of anything??

 

I am sorry to hear that and I totally understand what you mean it's definitely hard and I wasn't as young as you losing both my parents. But that's a great way to look at it that they would want us to be happy

 

My Hobbies mainly. I am a Gamer and my Wife was very kind in how she let me indulge in it. I am trying my best to Finish those that where Gifts from her. I have a pretty big Steam Backlog to get through though. Other thing was Anime, but it was something we both enjoyed together. Due to that I am having a hard time watching anything. She was more excited about the new ones coming out then I was.

 

Alright thank you so much. I appreciate some ideas you have given me. I am going to really try to get my mind off things for a bit. I appreciate it.
