The hits keep on coming. MAKE IT STOP

So sorry to learn about your recent losses, @Ronni! I have also lost many family members (nephew, father, husband, in-laws) over the years, but not so many in such a short time.

Please take a deep breath and know that you are needed now more than ever by those who are also suffering from these losses. You will be called upon to be strong for those around you just when you are grieving. It has happened to me. Hold your head above the water. You will see this through.

Sending you healing prayers and a virtual hug.🙏🙏🙏🤗
 
Aaah... Roni. I'm truly so sorry you're facing so much pain. Take care of yourself, keep going and don't give up.

Reading some of the comments of these videos, people have found some comfort, hope/inspiration and reasons to continue on when they've been at their lowest. I hope they help you and any other poster working their way through hard times in some way too.

A thing about life.


Guess I'm out of time.

William is my son in law. I’ve known him and his family since 1994 when we first moved to Nashville. He and his brothers, and my boys, played together all the time. William and Paige married in 2010.

His sister Alicia, who was also Paige’s best friend and Matron of Honor at her wedding, was hit by a train and killed on Thursday. She has 3 young children.

William’s side of the family is very dysfunctional. For many years when she was young, Alicia spent days at a time, sometimes weeks at a time at our house to escape the craziness. They met when Paige was 5, when we first moved to Nashville.

You may remember I posted about a year ago that William’s youngest brother Chris died from an overdose. We believe Alicia was doing drugs too, and that somehow contributed to her grisly death.

This is just all too much. 3 deaths of three loved ones in a year. I am trying so hard to support William and Paige in their grief and loss when I am barely functional myself.

Please send healing vibes, prayers, good mojo, to our very broken family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I strongly suggest counseling for yourself, and if you find someone who will do family counseling as well, bring in other family members if you think it might help. I was able to convince a family member to get into therapy after a loss in our family and it helped him so much. There are greif specialists out there, and even Family System specialists. Unfortunately, IMO, there are far too many therapists now that only focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I think that's wrong. No one-size-fits all approach to the human brain can possibly help 100% of people. Therefore, if you start with one therapist who doesn't seem to be helping you, always be ready to find someone new.
 
Ronni, like others here, I am holding you tight in my heart. I will do this for however long you need it. There are not enough words to tell you how deeply your loss has affected me, personally. Family loss is so hard to fathom, and when they are young lives, it is so hard.

This must be extremely difficult and heart wrenching Ronni. You have suffered such great and tragic losses and my heart goes out to you. The young people in our lives are not supposed to die before we do! I have kept you in prayer since your son's passing and will certainly continue to do so. May God grant you solace and peace.
