• 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.

i lost two loved ones in a period of two weeks last month. they were both old but i miss them terribly. i've been trying to move on but i still have a cry some nights before i go to bed. i keep thinking of all the things they'll miss out on seeing and doing with me.
selfish as it sounds, i would rather them to be back here and nothing to have changed.... but that isn't gonna happen.

There is no need for you too feel like you must "move on" or as I am interpreting from your post get over it. These were people you loved and it is still very very soon to even think you should be over the grieving process. It takes time and there is no formula for how much time. We all grieve differently. You need only be concerned if you can't function because of this.

Also they aren't lost they will always be with you in your memory, in your heart. I have always told my kids since they were very small if something happens to me I will always always be in your heart. There to call on when you need a warm smile of a fond memory.

God Bless!

:wave:I'm very sorry for your losses. It doesn't matter that they are older, it still hurts and it's still grieving you are going through. Be gentle with yourself, this is a hard time for you. Allow yourself to feel however you feel whenever you feel it. Also, try to take a little time to do something good for yourself that you enjoy. Take care.:hug:
