Bereavement

Thanks @CherryBomb. That's helpful.

I find that it helps me to hear other people's similar experiences.

To have some sense of connection because of those shared experiences.

Grief & loss of someone dear & loved is such an isolating lonely experience.

Thanks @Former-Member It's good to hear from you.

I have fatigue issues too, as I have sleep apnea which causes daily fatigue. Along with CPTSD, & the effects of 3 major bowel surgeries.

Hi @Former-Member@Appleblossom@Adge@CherryBomb@PeppiPatty

All our losses to death are the worst pain - having had chronic pain in my body and for over 30 years now the death of my son - and more recently in the last 12 years 6 family deaths - oh yes - they all vary but some are worse than others and the loss of a child the worst - because when a child goes they take a huge slice of our own future with them - and it is often a young person - and such a waste when a young person dies of anything

We do have a bereavement thread - but I think that we can start a new thread on the same subject because we have a turnover with our membership - people can start the discussion again with a new perspective - and bring different ideas to the conversational table -

But as so many years have passed since my son died I know the wound is deep and does scar over - but those memories - I do know other people have lost a child - which is heart-breaking to know about as well

So we have the subject up again - and let's hope it brings healing just opening up and talking about it in this the most appropriate of places - and I can let you all know that it has helped me sharing here - and I pray it is true for other people
