Guest Posted 3 October 2006 Posted 3 October 2006 It's all about losing people. I'm lucky in that I have only lost my grans. Neither was unexpected, but it doesn't make it easier. I think the seond one was harder, I was her favourite and whilst with our first nan, being the oldest I felt I had to look after my brother and sister, I completely lost it at the second one's funeral. Especially seeing my dad so upset (yes, I'm a daddy's girl too). I'm crying now. What a wuss.

But in response to the topic title, it's not actually something that individuals did or could do something about. I think people have misunderstood the title as "Hardest thing you've ever been through"...

I was actually responding in a sympathetic manner to other people's responses, before you pick me up on something.Thank you.

lookwhaticando Posted 3 October 2006 Posted 3 October 2006 Coming to terms with, and helping my (now ex-)girlfriend come to terms with the death of her mother. If it was natural causes perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad. It was apparent, though, that this was pre-meditated suicide. Nobody knew. Nobody even had the slightest suspicion that something was not well. It came as a massive shock to us all, the first few days were mayhem. It wasn't easy for anyone. I hadn't known her all that long, but I got on well with her, and it came as such a surprise, I didn't know what to think. The tragic spin was, her daughter - my girlfriend - was the one who had been to a counsellor for help after a rough breakup with an ex- was causing her problems. They were relatively minor issues, and her mother had insisted she go... and all along it was the mother that needed it the most.

I'm sorry, it didn't quite come out the way I wanted. And I realise there's no point in trying to change the course of this thread either as it serves a purpose already as it stands. To davieG: I can't possibly imagine how shattering it must feel to go through that. I really hope I'll escape experiencing anything as devastating as that
