Lost my mother this Feb. 2015,
My loved Wife loss her dad this friday afternoon 8/7/15,
my dad in-law passed away

Life...can be numbing very surreal.
God , bless you god
Its hard times sometimes, we all lean upon something or being. Life so short but precious


Thanks blogs, and sports websites
and ultimateknicks for keeping my mindset sane in support of family & spouse, just a temporary break.
But gratefully we're all here today.

Crazy to be here on this hour .. put other younger kids to sleep
but awaiting.. my wife return.

Sports an ultimate distraction, but temporarily distraction.
Through it all, through the numbness
I always offer thanks, faith and blessings 24x7. What else ? to do at these times.

Not religious at all- so I can't look at things from that perspective- but I understand what you are getting at.

About 2 hours ago was the 1 year anniversary of my younger sister's (52) death from a massive heart attack as she was about to get into her car to pick up my other sister.

Death creates a wound in our lives, and sometimes sports, entertainment, or whatever, can cover things up until some kind of healing takes place, even though we know a scar will always be visible.

So it goes.

Sorry for your losses. Sometimes this can be a good place to take your mind off of things. Seems like when it rains it pours. Lost my mother and sister in a three month span. My sister lived in white plains and then the bronx when she was sick. I live outside of rochester and went every weekend to see and help my mom in Syracuse but didn't realize how sick my sister was. I saw her 4 times over a six month period but didn't go down for 3 months and she could have really used my help and her health declined very quickly over those three months. Have a lot of guilt about it but time helps with loss. My condolences to you and your family.

So sorry for your losses, losing a parent as well as other family members is very painful so i can relate. Hang in there and hopefully things will get better with time

Sorry to hear about the losses in your families. Had quite a few in my life, so I can definitely relate.

May you find some solace and escape in rooting for sports teams like our beloved Knicks.

Likewise- watched my dad slowly starve and suffocate to death over a few weeks back in April (he had acute terminal leukaemia and wanted to die at home, so we were providing palliative care for him, which honestly was the hardest thing I've ever experienced) but I kind of feel rather than 'life goes on' that life as it was has kind of ended with the death of my dad, and it's more a case of getting used to the new reality- it's a tough process and I'm all over the place, sometimes I feel pretty good, and then out of no where get hit by the loss again. One thing I didn't expect is the level of anger/ bitterness about it- From my recent posts you may have noticed I have a much lower level of tolerance before I snap!

It's hard to accurately put into words how someones death affects you, but my heart goes out to you all.

I hear ya!

Some days I rudely scream at niluva for no reason!

Honestly, some days I am in a complete daze/funk. I cannot think and I feel a bit bi-polar. Other days are better.

People at work are wondering what happened to my brain. I used to relatively smart

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Sincerest condolences to you and your family. Life is precious gift but we all face the day when we will be called "home" and return to spirit. Take comfort in that your loved ones will always be present in your heart and memories.

Yep- the loss of brain power is common- usually it's a sign your brain is trying to process something overwhelming, out of your awareness, like when your computer slows down because it's installing updates.

The grieving stages thing has been misunderstood- anger, denial, bargaining depression and acceptance aren't a linear process, but simply 5 rough categories you will dip in and out for a long time, so you'll be all over the place. It's hard trying to go about your usual stuff while that's going on.

that actually makes me feel a lot better to know that its not just me who has become a moron It has definitely affected me at work. Some days its all a fog.
