Sixfoot999, I am sorry for the loss of your child and mate whether it be through

death or divorce. The pain you feel is just as strong.

I'd like to Welcome you to this very caring safe forum of support.

There are many here who have been through the same.

Let us help you take the first step forward in healing which is Time. :) xx

Yes, I was told the “ tincture of time” and for the most part is what it’s taken for me but I don’t think I will ever be fully over the loss. I hope you find peace soon.

Agora is right. I’m one and there are many others. For me there’s no getting over it but healing is possible over time. It sounds trite and cliche but I’ve found it to be true: your loved one will always be a part of you.

I don’t think you do get over the loss of a child. 😥 Time helps but it will always hurt. There is hope to feel better with time but it’s normal to experience suffering when you lose a child and a mate.

What is your favorite thing about your child?

Its ok we are all here for you and its all gonna be ok your child will always be with you.

Hey there sixfoot 999.Who gets over that? My advise is don't be in a hurry to get over it. We usually try to get over people so fast. It's not easy. I have lost loved ones but not a partner or a baby. There is no getting over this. Sometimes when people feel so much pain we want to take it away. I myt not c u, I might not relate very well bcz losing family members isn't the same as losing a partner u are planning to live with forever. That changes ur plans drastically. Starting afresh is not easy. The only advise I can give is cry as much as u can, it's doesn't mattee that u are a male. Pain is pain and it's affects us all. We are here broe to listen and for support.

Oh my, I’m so very sorry for your loss. It will take time and prayer. Grieving is a process. Allow yourself to feel all of the emotions. I have some really great articles that I can share that I think will be helpful. DM me if you’re interested. You’re in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Know that you are not alone. Whatever the source of the loss of these may be, grief is normal and appropriate. When we traumatically lost my brother in law to a motorcycle accident, I was seeing a counselor. Perhaps it might be helpful for you to see a counselor as well? I am not sure if any of these resources will be helpful for you as well. list.ly/list/2Eu7-a-guiding...
