Living with Grief: A Personal Journey of Loss, Love, and Healing

I lost my dad 18 months ago and the grief still hits like a sledge hammer every week. it's the little things that get you. Your comment about laughing so hard you couldn't breathe is what set me off today as that was me and my dad too. 😍😪
 
This really struck a chord with me this morning when I read this. 😢
I lost my Dad 3 years ago and I miss him every day.
Grief hits you when you least expect it and it really is a rollercoaster of emotions. I feel like every year hits me harder in some ways, and I hate the saying ‘time is a healer’. I believe we just learn to live with the grief, and live with the loss. @4purposeliving thank you for your beautiful post, I released some tears this morning that have probably been building for a few weeks. And I’m sending you so much love back and to anyone who has lost someone they love. Xxx
 
My mum. Died 19/02/2021 aged 58, she was my best friend, my hero, my everything. I’m still as broken today as I was that day, my heart hurts, I ache for her every single day 💔💔
 
I lost my dad 3 years ago . My eldest remembers him but my youngest was only a baby. I think him every day. He died on my son’s birthday. So every year we celebrate we grieve. Take every day one step at a time x
 
@%ED%8F%B4%EB%9D%BC%EA%B9%80 yeh I missed hers too. I'd been with dad in the hospital and stayed at mums the whole week leading up to his death. I stayed at home the night before her birthday as I'd promised, then I had a call at 2am to say if I wanted to be there I needed to go then. Its such a difficult time for us all....as parents, the child of our parent that is dying and the child who's grandparents is dying. When it happens on a child's birthday, it all feels so much more complicated. 💕
 
I lost my little sister 4 months ago..she was 36 and died suddenly in her sleep leaving 2 children 😭💔 That day haunts me. My heart is shattered and the emptiness she has left behind overwhelms me. I'm lost without her, my heart actually aches for her 😭 cant imagine going through life without her we should of grown old together 💔
 
So beautifully put 👏 I lost my dad 2 years ago and my brother 9 years ago. It definitely doesn't get easier but you learn to cope with it. One day a song breaks you another week the same song makes you have the biggest smile and sing your heart out. Just go with how you feel as it's all part of the healing xxx
 
I’m so sorry for your loss and know just how you feel. I lost my lovely, funny, kind Dad in Jan 22 to cancer.
He had been diagnosed in March 21 and fought so so hard. He was so brave, and so poorly. I hate that he had to endure that and still had his life cut short at 74. He was so fit and healthy, lived life to the full. He would take his bike out for a 30 mile ride, walk over the local hill and mountains every Monday covering 12 miles .. and then he just had a bad back.. but it was far more sinister than that and stage 4 when discovered.
That makes me angry and bitter. That he did everything right and it still didn’t stop cancer invading his body and our lives.
Dealing with my own grief is so very hard, supporting my Mum in hers is harder. Absolute heartbreak. They were just shy of their 50th wedding anniversary, and did everything together.
We miss him more than words can explain, but we were oh so lucky to have had him 💙
 
@rachel28 I’m sorry for your loss too. It makes no sense does it especially as your dad was so fit and healthy. It’s a cruel disease.
Your poor mum too. I also found it hard to deal with other family members grief. Not an easy situation. Just make sure you have time for you and your grief. 🤍
 
@rachel28 I feel your pain.
I lost my Dad in April to skin cancer only 8 weeks after diagnosis.
He and my Mum were everything to each other and it breaks my heart to see my Mum on her own now.
He was 70 and I feel he should have had many more happy years going on family holidays, enjoying his garden and walking with my Mum.
Instead we had his funeral on what would have been their 47th wedding anniversary. 💔
