My aunt died in May, my mom in June (four months ago today) and my uncle in August.

I friend's dad died two ago and all the loss from this summer knocked me flat again.

My avatar is a bluebonnet picture taken in the meadow on my parents property. My mom and i took pictures this spring, the day before she went into the hospital for the last time.

I'm told it gets easier with time....we'll see.

(((bpd mess))) I am so sorry for your loss. So much...so close.

I don't know if it gets better or we get better at coping with it. I was told to ride the waves. When the sadness comes allow yourself to feel it and if a smile creeps in....that's OK too.

It's been a long time since I lost my Mom. I miss her every day....but I am able to smile at the happiness she brought me and everyone that knew her.

BPDmess,

You've had an extraordinary amount of loss come your way lately. It must be really hard to deal with. Do you have an outlet for your feelings, a good friend, or perhaps journaling, or a therapist to talk to? It's hard to lose loved ones in death. Time helps heal the wounds, but it doesn't happen right away. Please be gentle with yourself right now. My thoughts are with you.

I have been in therapy a long time, and when my son died my own "issues" took back stage and my wonderful abuse-trauma therapist became my grief counsellor. If I hadn't already had a relationship with a therapist I truly don't believe I would have made it through. I know I couldn't have initiated therapy for the first time in response to his death, I was too shut down. Looking back I feel that God or the universe was helping me through it all by making sure I had her in my life.

Sorry you are having a hard time ... be kind to yourself.
