Members lorenacoqui Posted August 27, 2017 Members Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 The title says it all. I'm not generally sensitive. I feel awkward feeling as sad as I do.I'm not the type to seek support but rather the type to offer it and I don't want to burden anyone with my grief. I have so much to do at work, with my immediate family and I I just float around in a sort of daze. I miss them so much, it's just unbearable some days. I would NEVER kill myself. NEVER but I find my thoughts drifting to wishing I just wasn't alive either. ...I need to feel better I just can't see how right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sadandlost Posted August 27, 2017 Members Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Dear Lorenacoqui, I am so sorry for you losses. It's shocking to have 2 losses in such a brief period. I can't imagine. You must feel numb at times from the pain. I too have always had difficulty asking for help. I'd rather peel my skin off it's so uncomfortable. I too am more comfortable giving. No one around me knows the pain I'm in, so I understand to a degree what you're going through. We are here to listen, so come back and write how you feel as often as you want. We're all in the same boat here. I call it the club no one wants to join but we're in it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WendyF Posted September 1, 2017 Members Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi Lorenacoqui I'm so very sorry for both of your losses, I lost my beautiful Mum 2 months ago and that alone has been unbearable. I am nowhere near returning to work yet so what you're doing proves you have inner strength. I think you're doing amazing. If you can talk to people then do, it helps although I find I can only talk to my family or to close friends who knew Mum really well. I'm not able to socialise at all and spending time with friends who are surrounded by their families and want to support me can make me feel more alone than if I'm on my own. Even shopping trips can be difficult as there are memories of Mum everywhere (we shopped a lot). I find sharing on here helps so share your thoughts, feelings, anger, fears... share it all because people here know and we empathise. Sending love and hugs Wendy.
