Does anyone feel like your grieving alone.

[Natsteveo]

Do you ever get that feeling where your surrounded by people but feel so lonely.that you feel no-one misses your loved one who's passed like you do.i do I feel everyone is happy and I think "why can't I feel like that" it's been such a long time since I had fun since my mum died.

[jaykay777]

Yes, I feel as if I'm grieving alone and that no one misses my loved one who's passed the same way I do. But I never expected anyone else to miss my loved one in the same way I do. However, unlike many people, I don't think in terms of having fun. I care only whether a situation or event is interesting. We are all different and some of us grieve differently than others.

That's the way I think too and everyone does grieve differently think everyone shows emotion differently thanks anyway

I think it's because they don't have the same connection with that particular person Natsteveo so they cannot understand the depth of love that you felt for your Mum and don't grieve in the same way. The bond between Mum and daughter is very strong for some yet not for others but I have known daughters who have had this wonderfully close relationship and when they lose her, the grief seems to remain a long time, like yours. {{{hugs}}}

I think chloe is completely right....i lost my wife 2 yrs ago yesterday,and though i know her friends and family miss and grieve still....its not a competition over who grieves most...i do feel my loss/grief is different to theirs...more intense and i sometimes feel other people just don't understand and won't until they lose someone who was so close to you.

[Natsteveo in reply to jonnyd01]

Nobody understands the grief and loss we feel until they experience it your very right.

I feel like I've been grieving for several years for the loss of my husband to the evil disease PSP, but that didn't prepare me for the devastation I feel now he has actually gone, I don't think I will ever get over it and feel normal again!...Pat

Only just seen what you have written, as i haven't been on here before.... My Husband died 4 years ago, and bereavement only struck me 2 years ago, thought I was okay and got through it. I am just like you, I don't seem to move forward, started a volunteering job with the cats protection, 2 days a week, love the cats although I have always been a dog person, but can't interact with people, no confidence, and that was not me. I envy people who have partners, feel very lonely. People do not understand what you are going through. I get comments like, Geoff would not want you to be like this, or Geoff wouldn't put up with the way you are..... so yes I just want to be normal again, and get on with life.... Hilary

[Natsteveo]

So sorry for your loss hun.we will never get over losing our precious loved ones just think we get through it day by day don't we well the best we can anyway my life's not been the same since losing my beautiful mum.infact I'm not the same but I do try to live my life daily it's just so hard

[Auddonz]

Natzsteveo, Yes, I feel like no one gets the grieving like I do and that is probably true. I always feel alone and lonely without him. I also hate when someone says to me, he wouldn't want you to feel that way. That hurts a lot.

Natzsteveo, I feel like half a person without my love.
