• 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.

My Story: Reaching Out From My Heart

In 2002, my son James, only 20 years old went missing. No one has seen or heard from him since. We don't know what happened to him. Since his disappearance, through revelation through God's Holy Spirit, I have God's reassurance that my son is now with our Father in Heaven.

At the time of my son's disappearance, I was living in Australia with my husband. I thought I dealt with the guilt of not being there for my son when he needed me the most, but these feelings have surfaced once again, along with the pain of his death, which I also thought I had dealt with. I did forgive myself, his dad and the person who I thought was part of the reason he disappeared, but now, I find myself in full grief and guilt all over again.

On August 28, 2006, I lost my 2nd husband (not James' father) to brain cancer. I also thought I had dealt with all the grieving for him, but also find this has also come to the surface once again, and the pain of loosing him is very great.

Although the pain of loosing them both has lessened over the years, it still hurts so very deeply. I really need help, support and advise on how to overcome this grief as God would have me do. Will you help me to know and learn how to overcome this grief as a Christian - God's way, so that I can move on in my Christian walk with our Father?
