Have you lost someone? I am sorry. You can post about it here. I am happy to listen and give you my support.
If you would like a thread which is like an online card from the AMG family we can happily make that for you. Just message or post it here.
Grief is personal, and effects may vary depending on the situation. But most people don't treat it as such. Usually, support is very brief, and expectations turn from "it will get better with time" to "Get over it and move on" very quickly. Grief doesn't always work that way and for some may take years to accept.
5 stages of Grief
denial
anger
barganing
depression
acceptance
Coping
- Remember pain does not go away easily and may resurface on occasion
- Know that not everyone will understand how you are feeling
- there may be some volitile reactions
- Don't suffer alone
- Seek out support from those who are genuine in their care and concern
- Don't minimalize the situation
- Seek out positive, constructive ways to express your feelings
- Recognize that your grief may not be the same as someone elses
- Give yourself time to grieve
- Don't set a time limit as to when you are supposed to feel better

Losing the guild members, especially Esme, who I knew better, was so sad. I wish I had known the other guild member as well. Esme was so sweet & I still miss her!
We also lost our 4 year old grandson in a 4 wheeler accident 5 yrs ago & it was devestating. His father is an alcoholic & this was after work & he had been drinking & took him for a ride without a helmet or anything like he had many times before. Somehow, he lost control of the 4 wheeler & it flipped & our grandson was thrown off & killed instantly. I've been through a lot of loss in my life & done pretty well with grief until this. But God has helped us through & we're dealing with it better as time goes on.

next week my Mother in Law had a stroke and passed. Everyone grieves in their own way. I throw myself in to work. If you ever need to talk I am always available. heart
I'm so sorry about your niece! That's horrible! And your mother in law right afterwards! Good grief. Those are tough times. I'm here for you too, if you ever need to talk & I appreciate your offer.

Just like you, the tough part is over. We are planning her memorial which is on the eighth.
