Grief not related to deaths / The Forums
« on: August 03, 2019, 01:56:43 PM »
It seems there is a greatly reduced amount of traffic on the support boards here at webhealing. I wonder what the best approach might be in dealing with this? One possibility would be to trim the boards down to one or two forums. Another might be to simply turn things off. I am curious what you think might be the best thing to do here. If I don't hear any feedback I will take the action I think is best.

Sibling Loss / Re: loss of siblings
« on: April 20, 2019, 01:43:16 PM »
Barb - my apologies for getting no response. I was under the impression that a moderator was monitoring things. Looks like I was wrong and my apologies.
The loss of a sibling is a tough one. They are often the only people we have who know our story from the beginning and when they die we are left alone with fewer folks knowing our own history. This is of course, on top of the basic grief of having a loved one die.
Thank you very much for reporting this post since it got my attention.

Hi Soledad and Julie - Good to see you here and I wish things were a bit busier. The traffic here comes and goes and is hard to predict.
There is no substitute for an ally in grief who is going through something similar and you both seem to have had some commonalities in your situations. The sudden and unexpected nature of your losses are a huge factor that complicates the process of grieving. Basically, it means that it takes a while longer to fully believe the loss has happened. It's a tough time.
I will be checking in from time to time and I think Terry should be around.
Blessings.

Hi sadintexas - It's a tough time when kids move far away. Very tough. Can you skype with her? I remember that helped me a great deal in a similar situation.

Very good point vjw. I remember a mentor of mine back in the 1980's was holding a staff meeting at our counseling center and a new therapist was introducing herself to about 20 staff members. She made the bad mistake of saying "We lost my mother last year" and my beloved mentor bellowed from the back of the room with the deepest strongest voice you can imagine "Where'd you lose her!" He went on to explain to her that euphemisms were not helpful and that the fact is that people don't get lost, people die.

Yes vjw, grief wreaks havoc on our sleep. Get the sleep you can when you can get it.
