Grief is like a Tital Wave

[GMRELIC]

My 15 yr old son was killed tragicly December 28th 2003,
I was a single parent to him from the time he was 2 yr old until his untimely death, what I have found in my almost 3 yrs of grief is that it is like a big tital wave, just when you are able to pick your self up after the last wave another will come along and knock you back down again, The first yr for me was total shock, denial, and confussion, the second yr was reality setting in, loneliness, and sadness, the third yr has been anger, bitterness, isolation, at first, then acceptance. My life is going on now, less waves hit me and knock me down, but still have some, I can now think of him and remember great times, instead of everytime I think of him having a mental image of the accident scene, I am hoping that this forth yr will be even more easier as I continue to go thru my grief stages, For those who are just beginning this process, Pray, pray and keep praying,
It does get easier, The pain doesn't go away, but with Prayer, You can diffently learn to live it. God Bless you all in whatever stages of Grief you are going through

This is the beginnibng of my fifth year without my husband and I agree that it does get easier God just carries us along, but there are still times when I miss him deeply and as you say the tidal wave hits..

I lost my sister 20 years ago and the pains intensity is much less now. For five years I was just sick over it. I still miss her greatly.
I am so sorry you lost your son.

Hello my friend....I have never heard of grief being described that way but as I was reading your post I was thinking, this is me....Wow...I lost my daughter 5 1/2 years ago and like you said, the pain is still there...When she died she took part of my heart with her...I will never be the same person again...But life goes on and you learn how to cope with your grief...She was 19 when she died...She was in a car accident...
