• 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.

On Jan 1,2012 my grandsons drowned in a canal in Arizona. I am so broken and lost that I do not know what to do. I had to watch the anguish of my daughter and know that I could not fix it for her. I had to ask her hard questions regarding the burial of her children. I need prayer, to help me remember to breath, to walk, to eat. I hurt so badly. But I need to be strong for her..:wet:

Please let your daughter know about compassionatefriends.org. This is a grief support group for anyone who has lost a child. There is both online support and local groups. Finding people who can say "I understand" and mean it are one of the best helps toward healing.

There is also a general grief program that is offered at churches across the nation. Go to griefshare.org and enter your zipcode to find programs near you. This is also a good resource for you.

I am so sorry.

I am so very, very sorry, Ladydd.

I can't begin to imagine the pain you must be feeling. I am so sorry.

Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy. :crossrc:
