Asthma attack that lead to a heart attack. Please know that I am keeping you in my prayers. May God hold you close and mend your broken heart. May he grant you the strength to continue on. May he comfort you, wipe your tears and carry you until you can once again walk on your own. God Bless You! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46317298 United States 12/29/2014 03:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Eleven, I just saw your post today. In 1991 my sweet son died when he was 16. Eleven years later my daughter and only other child died at the age of 21. I am not a joiner so am not a member and can't PM you, so I apologize to everyone else for this long message. The first weeks after my daughter died I hardly remember anything. I really wanted to die. No one tells you how exquisitely, physically painful grief can be. I wanted out of my body BAD. But one day, sitting on the porch on a perfect winter day, I had this intense and wonderful moment that must be called grace. This moment relayed to me a message that saved me. There would never be anything again in this life that I would fear. Twelve years later, that is still true. The worst thing happened and I don't have any idea why, but I do know I can live now without any fear at all. Nothing can ever hurt you like this again. I made a choice then, that I would live. My mother and sister were still alive and they needed me to stay on the planet and so I did. I find value in life now by trying to help others in any way I can. I figure it can't hurt and if there's meaning in our existence...then sometimes it's probably a good thing. I am not religious, but I do have a sense of spiritual connection, which is ever changing and I work on keeping it. That helps. I have many friends, but this awful experience and your awareness of it isolates you always from others. Loss and grief feelings bring you great empathy for others, but also is something you can't fully share in words. I guess it's like PTSD from war, you can talk to others who went through it, but it's always going to be intensely private and something alone unto you. The experience is something you will always carry. It changes your perspective in every way. Sometimes that's the best thing ever, and sometimes, not so much. Finally, I promise you, when you can let it, the deep pain you feel now does go away. Letting go doesn't mean you've forgotten. Healing doesn't mean you leave her behind. You can learn to form a spiritual tie with your daughter that always abides and eternally brings you comfort. If you ever want to talk, post that request here, I will find a way to get my contact info to you. All my love to you today and always. Carol. |

The highlighted part up there, I had that very same thought the other day. There is nothing to fear. She's safe now. The one unspoken, the one thought that might enter our head for a quick second and we quickly bury it deep, fearing the unthinkable. IT HAPPENED. I sit by the fire outside most nights and talk to her. I tell her I wish she could have stayed longer but I understand. We are separated for now but she's not gone. The pain is immeasurable, no words to describe this kind of pain. But, I get it. Meaning, why she's not here. I don't like it but in the grand scheme of things it's not up to me. I can see where people get stuck on that one movie in their head. The very end, the details of death. Things your mind cannot un see. My hair stands up on the back of my neck to think of another parent who had to go through a horrible death at the hands of another or such. I'll stop here. I'm rambling.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46317298 United States 12/30/2014 09:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Eleven, thinking of you and sending love and a minute of peace. I remember I got some relief from screaming in the woods where no one could hear me. Sounds dramatic, but I know tears release the bad neurotransmitters that painful emotions create. I also remember, even though my faith in the eternal is strong, wondering WHERE the heck in the universe my child could be. How can they be here one minute and then are just not. As the mule guide said in Dances with Wolves when he came upon a long dead settler, "Someone back home is wonderin' ...Why don't she WRITE?" I promise you will get a sign. It may take time, as it seems time on the other side of the veil is not on our clock at all. I'm glad you are talking to her. I know your heart is longing for connection. The horrible memory and trauma of her death will fade quickly, don't try to avoid it. Just know it will pass. Grieving is unbelievably exhausting, so just do only what you want to do, and do nothing you don't. Also, I don't know how you feel about medication, but Xanax kept me sane. Lovingly, Carol. |
