patut Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Some of you have given web sites to help people in need of support in their grieving. I just found out my daughter is having a difficult time, not sleeping well, sick with the flu, kids are sick, and she is crying more then she wants to. Would some of you mind putting up some websites that you have found helpful? Especially for a young lady who has lost her best Dad? I seem to be coping better then she is. Thanks very much, Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 How old is your daugther? I came across this which is for kids http://www.kidskonnected.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patut Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Thanks Andrea. Actually she's 34, but that looks like a good site you mentioned for kids. Maybe my grandkids could use it. Thanks, Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babesdaughter Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I don't know the best sites, but can recommend a couple of books. One is called "The Grief Recovery Handbook" by John W. James and Russell Friedman. The other is called "Angel Catcher" by Kathy Eldon, both are available on Amazon. The handbook is the book my bereavement group is using, it's wonderful The Angel Catcher is sort of a journal to keep thoughts, dreams and just work through memories about your loved one. Your daughter will be in my prayers, there are a lot of us walking this path.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Why don't you have your daugther post here under grieving section? I unfortunately (unfortunate in that they are grieving) know a few girls in the same age range on this website going through the same issues, I am sure your daughter can get a lot of support right here.

daggiesmom Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Unfortunately Pat I know of two your daughter might benefit from - one is www.groww.org and the other is www.beyondindigo.com. Hugs to you and your family. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Dear Cyndy, I agree with Andrea in why don't you ask your daughter to join us. There are many of us that have lost a parent and know exactly what she is feeling. Otherwise, I would suggest that maybe she just let her grief run it's course for a while and oh yes, the tears come and go the first few months after we lose a loved one. Plus, having the flu and kids that are sick, she might be dealing with a little bit of every thing right now. Poor Thing! We're here for her if she wishes to join us.

Andrea B. Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yes, you should refer her to the grieving section of this site. I am 33 and lost my mom, best friend and confidante...and I too have a little one to take care of on top of it. Blessings to her and you both.

stand4hope Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Cyndy, All good advice here and I don't have anything to add, but please tell her that we all love her and are so sorry for her loss. Tell her it's ok to cry and we all understand. Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhappy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I agree about posting here, in our grieving section. I am also 34 and have recently lost my mother. This is a very tough time. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I would recommend griefnet.org and/or beyondindigo.com. they both have support groups and online communities. For any widowers, a huge asset to my healing was widownet.org. I even went to a gathering to meet some of the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
