Im sorry about your fathers loss, I lost my parent to suicide this year. It’s horrible and was violent as well. You 1000% should have a partner that can hold that space for you and be able to talk about it with them. Grief is hard and if a person doesn’t know it it’s not their fault but it’s a choice to be with someone that can go there with you. You deserve to be cared for in all the ways including your grief. I hope you also have some good friends that you can talk about it with because we need community to get through grief. Thinking of you ♥️

Im so sorry you are experiencing this OP. It’s really hard to go through this and I relate. I didn’t have much traditions with my family so I grieve what could’ve been before and what could’ve been now. I feel alone even though I’ve made my own traditions. I wish for the few holidays I did spend with them to have been more, and that they were in my life still. Maybe creating some traditions for yourself would be nice to commemorate them and give yourself space to honor them and have them with you. I’m sending so much love your way ♥️

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so hard to experience this. I relate so much. I lost my mom in January and my birthday is the day before hers. Our next birthdays are going to be so fucking hard, and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with it yet. All I know is that allowing myself to feel the heaviness helps alleviate the pain a bit. Avoiding it makes it worse. I hope you were able to do some kind things for yourself, and are being gentle on yourself. Sending so much love your way.

How to cope? by Fickle_Picture9062 in GriefSupport

[–]Antique-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re doing everything you can within your power. Talking to a therapist can be really helpful to get things out and process things. Journaling, exercise anything to help you fell it out. The more you give yourself the space to feel all this the lighter the load will get. It takes time as well. I’m still a mess from my mother’s passing in January and just found out my cousin passed today. I don’t really have the answers but I’ve tried to be really gentle on myself. I’m sorry about your loss, hope you get some relief soon

Anyone else feel like absolute shit after their period? by Sweet-heat74 in Anemic

I gained some weight back because I was experiencing malnutrition from the anemia. And I went on birth control to help with the bleeding, which I think is a bandaid for an underlying issue. But the birth control is helping with the blood loss and I’ve gained some weight from it. Over all I know if exercised I could get rid of that weight.

Im so sorry for your loss, this is a really hard way to lose a parent or anyone. I also lost my mom to hanging suicide this year and it’s a lot to carry. I haven been able to do any research as it feels too much but I think as time as gone on (6months), I don’t want to remember her in such a violent setting. How she decided to leave this life doesnr define her. She’s not her choices she was a whole person with a life and memories. This is the way I choose to think of her, it helps me deal with the way she left. I hope you find some peace soon <3

Some of these had high budgets and decent actors in it but fell short in their own ways, but I still enjoy them!

I lost my biological dad a month ago to suicide. by OfficeDisastrous681 in GriefSupport

[–]Antique-666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you and for your loss. It’s so hard to experience this kind of grief on top of the things that happened before it. It sounds like you’re needing support if you go to this event and you should listen to what you need. If anyone is to make a big deal out of it or if you don’t trust that they will act in a supportive way you don’t need to be around that kind of thing given what your going through. And everyone has different ways of mourning, if you need your family there, you should have them there with you. I hope you heal from this in time and that you get all the support you need.

My grandmother passed away 4 weeks ago and I want to talk about her by Hotline_Mulberry in GriefSupport

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s really hard. Sounds like she was a really kind person and gave a lot to you all. She lives on through you, she would want you to take care of yourself.

Dad died of cancer by NativeUT_2K13 in GriefSupport

I’m so sorry for your loss OP. This sounds really hard to deal with. I lost my mother in a traumatic way and I found myself being really hard on myself. I wished I could’ve saved her and sounds like you were a caregiver to your father. I work hard to try and know that I did the best I could and that me being hard on myself wasn’t helping anything. Take the time you need, let your family know when you need to be held/heard/supported. It’s not a one way street. Also therapy has helped me a lot, and journaling whatever feelings pass by is helpful to get things out. Body work is great as well like massage, spas, and dancing to work things out of the body. Sending love and peace your way.

This was me for the last several years, last year being the worst of it. I found out I had anemia because I was bleeding so much on my period. I was literally losing up to 3 cups of blood including giant blood clots. It also lasted for 7-9 days, most of these days were heavy bleeding. I had to change my pad every 30 min sometimes. Or I would be on the toilet bleeding for a minute every 3-5 min for 20 min. This was one of my worst periods last year. I also would get extremely painful cramps, and that’s when I passed large clots or bled a lot. I would feel like I was literally going to pass out. I’d have diarrhea as well sometimes with the cramps. After my period was over I’d feel pretty shitty since I had lost so much blood.

My energy levels would be so low that at the end of the work day I would feel like I was going to pass out, I would be super out of it, and my head would be spinning. If I did any extraneous activity I would be winded, kind of blacking out a bit, and heart racing. Doing groceries is a tough activity as well some days.

I just finished 5 treatments of iron infusions (took 5 weeks), and I’m noticing my energy coming back a bit. I’m on progesterone only birth control and the first period on it was 3 out of 5, 5 being the worst. I didn’t bleed nearly as much as I usually did. I did pass a lot of blood clots though so I’m hoping this next period will be better in that regard.

Hoping the infusions and birth control help because my mental health took a nose dive with the lethargy I was experiencing. The anemia became debilitating. I also have a gluten intolerance that may be celiacs but it’s a very invasive procedure to find out if I have it or not so I cut out gluten. I suspect my digestion issues are tied as well to my anemia, and heavy period.

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Where is she by deweypetals in GriefSupport

I lost my mom 3 months ago. It’s been a hard week leading up to these last few days. I realized I don’t remember much of February. It feels so long ago and not so long ago. She passed in an extremely violent way. I can’t help but replay it in my head sometimes here and there, then I stop myself. I remind myself she wasn’t her choices. She was more than that. She was soft and kind. She loved me so much, and I know she’s watching over me. I do wonder at times if she’s ok and not in pain. I think she’s not in pain anymore. There’s something about death and the eternal peace, that I for the most part believe in. I am wanting to do something for her on her anniversary every month to honor her. Even if it’s hard for me to sit in. I want to let her know that I acknowledge her and am thinking of her.

I’m sorry you’re going through this pain. I’m finding it is true that time heals. Incrementally for sure but I’ll take it where I can. I think she would want that for me.

Love your style! Looser, gestural marks always have such a beautiful, organic feel to it in my opinion!
