I am so very sorry. Do you want to cry when others are around? You can cry here, with us. I often cry here when I write about my loss, or when I write a not-able-to-send letter to my old T (who I lost due to serious illness). Can you tell us what we might be able to do to help you? One thing that's helped me is to read about daughters who lose fathers, because in many ways he showed those kind of caring qualities to me. Then I usually come here to PC and post.

Can you read about losses that are similar to yours? Would it be helpful? It's OK to talk to us. I'm sure that you'll received support here. Are there specific grief support groups available to you that might help? I didn't find anything in my rural, small town area, so that's one of the big reasons I decided to join PC. Plus, my new T and I working specifically on grief.

Hope you can find what you need.

When my mom died I lived alone. That in itself helped me to grieve. After her death, and for several months after, I started crying as soon as I woke up. I cried while I got ready for work. Then I had to put it aside for the day. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, I started crying again. I cried til I got home. Then cried myself to sleep. Being alone helped me cope.

I think losing someone to suicide would be a whole different kind of hurt. You are welcome to express your feelings here. Perhaps we could share and learn from each other.
