• 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 know the loss of a loved one can be very hard, I was very close to my aunt who died suddenly sept 23rd 2004 and I'm still having a hard time with it. There are always alot of questions like why, how, and again why. I still find myself driving home from work and I have to pull over because I just break down crying because I miss her so much. I wish there was an easy answer, but there really isn't. All I can say is that if you are still having a hard time is that you need to go and talk to a professional counselor.

I feel as if I rushed through my last post and I have more to say....

I know how you feel when you say if still feels like the first day that you found out, it's a numb feeling that you just can't shake. It's ok to be sad, it's ok to ask why....do you know why, because you are apart from your aunt, but the hope is here....As long as Jesus is seated on the throne and he will be there forever, you will be reunited with her for eternity. I miss my aunt alot, but I believe that my influence in her life was enough to know she went home and is sitting there next to Jesus waiting for everyone she loved to come be with them forever. Over the past several months I've gone through a stage of being very angry and frustrated with God for takeing my aunt, but it wasn't until this past week that I realized we'll be together again and this time it'll be forever, so until then I know I will serve the Lord in all I do.

My best advice is something my friends all told me right after my aunt died....remember the good times, plain and simple, remember the good times and don't ponder on the "what if's" because the past can't be changed.

Awww, I'm so sorry. :hug: I hope you get feeling better soon. And no, I don't have the answers. Sometimes people just reach such a point of despair that they feel the only solution is to kill themselves. I have felt this way in the past and thank God that He brought be me out of the mire. I just want you to know that I am here for you and so is God. If you ever feel the need to talk, feel free to PM me and I will try to be there.

God Bless,
Holly :groupray:
