• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Luka, I understand how you feel because I am angry myself. Don't let it get you depressed, tho. I am trying to work it out because God took some people who were very close to me and He didn't have to do it. I don't understand why He did, but He is still God. Remember that it is okay to be angry with Him, so don't let that get you down. You are human, so of course you are going to miss people you love. That is okay, too. Just remember to be good to yourself and love yourself through this. Maybe we can help each other find the answers.

Awwwww Luka, I'm so sorry. Don't feel guilty about grieving though. You have lost two people suddenly - it's bound to take time. After all, you knew your mum for 14 years, and may have known your brother for that long too. There is no time scale by the end of which you can stop grieving. It takes as long as it takes. :(

Someone once suggested to me that I write a letter to my brother (who died young), saying everything I wanted to say to him - that I miss him, why did he leave me and things that have been happening since. I think I wrote a poem actually, but it was helpful. Could you do this?


Is there someone outside the family you can talk to? Someone who will really listen to you, and not try to tell you to get over it? Also, with someone outside the family you may not feel you have to be strong, and keep it all bottled up. Anger is part of the grieving process too, so it's ok.

Hope you get some support over all this. :hug:

How are you doing? How is the Lord working in you? The best thing that I have found in the light of my best friend dying, is talking about it, and talking about her. Sometimes, it feels good just to ramble, even if it doesn't make any sense. My prayers are with you!

i totally agree with armouredsaint!!

healing takes time. i'm just now reaching that point of healing. i'm just now getting over my grandmother's death which was a little over a year ago. it's ok to be upset! man, i was so mad at God for the longest time because i loved her so much. no matter what know that the Lord is available any time of the day. He also sees your grief and pain. he hasn't left you alone...he's very much near to you. sometimes we're only strong enough to say, "i need You!!" and that's perfectly alright.

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." Psalm 56:8
