Condolences to your 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.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.
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.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.
