Online Grief Support

Looking for a GOOD online grief support group?

My mom passed away 7 months ago. Her and I were really close and she was the only person that I would ever go to and talk about things with. Well now shes gone and so is that. I took it very hard when she died, I ended up being heavily sedated and didn’t get out of bed for the following 2 weeks except for her memorial which between that and the two weeks following, I remember very very little. After two weeks, and being the mother of 2 kids who needed me, I drug myself out of bed, stopped all sedatives and began life again with out my mother. And OMG it has been so hard. People ALWAYS say it gets easier with time. I am finding it getting harder lately. I still cant eve look at a picture of her. SOO, being there’s no grief support groups in my area and it’s becoming clear to me that I need some thing. So, my question is does anyone know of or a member of an online grief support group that discusses this issue and not every thing but? Thank you

I’m sorry for your loss. The death of my mother was the hardest thing in the world for me and my sisters. I hope this will help: http://www.growthhouse.org/death.html The suggestion of calling a suicide hotline to ask for advice is a good one.

My mother died of cancer, and the support group run by the American Cancer Society is an excellent one. I also saw a therapist for a while and spent a couple years on antidepressants, which helped me greatly although I know it’s not for everyone. Things get better, and there will be a day when you can remember your mom with love and joy and gratitude and without tears. Good luck.

Online Grief Support

I have a friend who lost a member of their family … how do I offer my support?

This is a platonic male friend (online friend only) whom I used to work with in person some 10 years ago. We talk daily via IM. He had sent me a MySpace message that he lost a family member last night and I basically responded that I was sorry to hear about his loss and that if he needed to talk, he knew where I was (referring to Yahoo Messenger and e-mail), and signed off as, “Hugs, (my name).” I want to be a friend, but at the same time I want to give him space while he’s dealing with his grief. Should I just sit back and let him talk when and if he needs to? Is this the proper thing to do? (I remember when I lost my mother, I didn’t want people to come to me with their condolences; I came to people to talk when I was ready.)
I’m also hoping that he does not read the “Hugs, (my name)” sign-off as a more-than-a-friend gesture, because that is not how I intended it … but because we talk like two female friends, sometimes I forget he’s a male.

i think you have the right frame of mind. offer your shoulder, but let him go to you. just let him know that you are there whenever he needs you. the “hugs” i dont think will be taken as a more than friend thing. hugging is a friendly gesture and “handshake (your name)” would be a very akward one.
