Grief isn’t a straight line , it’s a tide for some and for some the pain is never ending no matter how long....
Some days it pulls gently, other days it knocks one off balance. Both feelings are normal.
Ever lost a loved one? how did you navigate the pain?
I think about what makes them funny..i try to laugh...
I try to turn my pain into motivation....
I smile and i weep and i laugh....
I navigated my pain through Alcohol
ReplyDeleteKpele Dear.
DeleteAlcohol can only Temporarily Numb Your Pains.
Cry it out
Yes oh cry it out it helps with the pain and the weight in the heart.
DeleteYou don't get over them, but learn to cope with it. I use my sis pic as my screensaver, that way it feels like she smiling at me. Also, when I want to hear her voice, I listen to her vns.
ReplyDeleteRecently lost both parents one after the other almost within a year.It really broke me and it still seems like they traveled and will come back.A friend taught me how to journal about them,I write anything that comes to my mind about them:their looks,events,happy moments,their principles,teachings;just anything about them.It helps to preserve their memory and makes me happy and nostalgic when I remember such events or when scrolling through what I wrote.Some of such memories make me cry and I cry,clean my face and come out smiling
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky. May their memories continue to be a blessing. Some of us were not so lucky.

I don't know,how to really cope. I miss my calm handsome brother daily. I expect him to call me.😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteGood day people of God. My story. I went in to give birth but left without my baby, mind you that wasn’t the first. Is it the pain of losing my baby or the cs pain. For years I cried and carried the pain everywhere. I withdrew from everything and everyone that I couldn’t even notice when my daughter needed me. Thank God my husband step up big time for all of us especially me cos I simply refused to be consoled. When I couldn’t bear it anymore I ran to Jesus and He healed me completely. It’s all good now and I am in a better place. I understand pain wella and I pray for healing for anyone going through one. It is well with us
ReplyDeleteSending you tons of hugs dear, 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
DeleteIt is well,may your healing be permanent
DeleteKpele Brown sugar. Thank God For You. He will soon Bless You and Give You Testimonies that will Sound like a Lie.

DeleteI lost my brother first week of January
ReplyDeleteSomeone that was full of life
I must confess that he's death has tested my faith in ways i didn't expect
I have asked God questions i never thought i would
Well i find comfort knowing that he's resting with the Lord 😢
I hate to write about your death bro, but it's well
Keep resting until we meet on that glorious morning
My condolences to you and your family.May he rest in peace
DeleteFirst Ramadan without my dad, first Eid without my dad. Last month my sister sent me the most horrible and heartbreaking message "Sis daddy is dead oo" oh God , these words pierce my heart into pieces. I can't get over my dad's death I can only learn to live with the pain😥
ReplyDeleteThe pain of losing my dad. Although it's almost 15 years since he left, it feels like yesterday. I dream about him alot. I still have that feelings that he wasn't supposed to died.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I remember the circumstances and pains he went through before he passed, I weeped.
My mum is seriously sick now, the fear of loosing her frightened me. Being the last and still unmarried, without my mum, I don't know how I cope. God please heal and strengthen her for me.
ReplyDeleteI lost my sister and mother in the space of one year! I was painful but I have learnt to live with the pain. I listen to their favourite music,talk about them or remember interactions with them. Things we did together i remember and smile. Rest in peace my dear ones❤️
ReplyDeleteI lost my dad on Saturday and it is still like a dream to me.
ReplyDeleteI have lost weight these few days, I find it very difficult to eat or sleep. The first night was hell for me, these days I wake up in between my sleep with my heart racing.
I am angry, sad, bitter and in great shock . I am worried about my mom as she and him were so close (she has been to see the doctor but in my grief I am deeply worried about her)
I also have been to the Gp because I am hypertensive and they prescribed diazepam which I take along side my Blood pressure medication but I don’t still feel alright.
I have asked myself all the what ifs and whys; I know at this point there’s nothing I can do to undo what happened but I am helpless.
Please how did any one who has been in this same situation cope? I try to be on call with my siblings but once the call ends, the bad feelings start. The friends I have here are in different cities.
This pain is just too much for me; I don’t know if I will ever feel normal again.
I will be resuming work next week Monday as I was given bereavement leave since Monday; I don’t want to return to work still feeling this terrible.
