deep in denials...

This year has been the most horrible year yet for my family! My mother lost her 2 brothers in the same week literally not even a day apart! The younger brother passed on Wednesday night, the older brother flies in to see him and pass away early morning of Thursday. Now her younger sister's husband just pass too! These are just a few that are immediate family. There were several relatives that are a bit distance and family friends who had pass as well. What is up with 2011! I honestly don't know how much more death I can take before the year end. Now I am almost afraid to answer the phone. It seems every times the phone ring late/early in the morning, it's bad news. Thus far, it all seems like some very bad nightmares. It has not hit me yet. I'm not sure, I'm ready to accept all the passing. Why has it not resonate with me that they are no longer with us? Am I in that deep of a denial?

I am sorry to hear of so many passing's within your family this year. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Seems like a lot of people this year have passed as several in my family and friends families as well. Maybe you are just too stressed out that the passing's have not quite sync in. Do take some time to rest and let all fall where they may. Have hope and prayer and keep them all alive in your heart.

Thanks for your condolences. I truly believe all the passing has not sync in.. my two uncle's passing has been 4 months now and it still seem unreal. Now this uncle...Trying to process so many is very difficult for me. I hope with time, it will be better, but like I said to stowyk, I feel guilty for living sometimes because we all continue to live life while this person who once was is no more. That is just pretty hard to accept sometimes. I really do appreciate the sincere condolences.. Thank you..

Im so sorry about all the deaths in your family. No you're not deep in denial, you're simply in shock. It is overwhelming to have so many deaths all at once. You will need to grieve though when it does hit you. Hugs xx

Thank you. It is very overwhelming, but it helped me a little knowing that my mom is able to talk about them, getting her pain out.

cmecu6, I am sorry for your loss and hope that you will not beat yourself up. Life is such that as fragile as it is, it is also unpredictable. All of us will be meeting our maker someday but before that we will have to face it as some love ones around us will leave earlier than us. So, don't be too harsh on yourself but learn to accept it and move forward. Besides, I am sure there will be others in need of your presence and comforting arms.
