Grieving / bereavement?!


Question: Grieving / bereavement?
My daughters boyfriend was tragically killed in a car crash 5 weeks ago, this young man didn't have a daily input in my life but am really suffering from this loss, I keep thinking he's not my boyfriend, brother or son so why am I feeling this massive void in my life. I cry everyday for him. I dont think it's hit my daughter yet as I haven't seen her grieve...Im feeling I just don't wanna go on with my life anymore and wishing I wasn't here... Please advise... Thank you :0(

Answers:

sorry to hear about this tragic loss, i think you could be feeling this way because you know an sense your daughter is hurting but isnt showing it? my cousin died tragically two yrs ago, i felt immense pain but when i thought of what my aiuntie musta been goin through my pain worsened, i think you need to grieve in the only way you no how an when the time comes and your daughter begins her grievin process you can be there for her an support her, all my love



I hope you are keeping your grieving private from your daughter. I know from experience that when you lose someone, the last thing you need is to have to support someone else. Of course it is sad and tragic, but you need to support your daughter. She is grieving in her own way. Talk to friends of yours about how you are feeling or contact one of the bereavement websites such as Cruise. They may be able to advise you how to deal with your and your daughters grief.



So you're essentially grieving over a stranger then. Of course its normal to feel very sad for his family and for this young life that was tragically cut short, but you are way past that. I would suggest some professional counseling. Once your daughter find out the depth of your issue with this, she will probably need counseling also.



maybe you are grieving for your daughter as a substitute as you say that she hasnt grieved yet your daughter will need you to bestrong when this time comes so take a step back and look at it from a more distant viewpoint take care
