I am sober by Gods grace for 36 years. My husband was also in recovery. We met in AA. Well, he died from Cancer 7 years ago and I’ve been struggling because I’ve lost a loving God. I’m grateful for the almost 30 years we had together. Our sons were teenagers when he died. I’m not looking for grief support. I wonder how to regain my connection to a Higher Power after loss.
Thank you
Just depends who your God is, to be honest.
Sorry your having hard time im a long time sober ,ive never lost my connection with my HP even when i lost my three brothers one of them my identical twin , i sponsor guys through the 12 step program and for me that brings me closer to my HP and service work i wish you well and hope you can connect again regards from Scotland
It doesn’t compare to your situation, but i lost my mum a year ago, she was old but it was still chocking to me, when it happened.
I thank god for my sobriety, I think it’s absolutely HUGE that you have been sober for so many years, and it gives me hope.
I was afraid that I would drink when she died, but something I read once in here, stopped me from doing so.
For me this past year, I have mourned not only my mum, but also my beloved step dad, it is an end of an era, and a final goodbye to the old family home.
I know your loss is greater, but I talk to jesus, I tell him of my sorrow and my longing, and I also have a lot of memories, and I still talk to her, as if she was here.
That us what helps me.
Loss is different for everybody, it goes up and down and changes.
