Worste Emotional Pain You Ever Experienced

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mine was in December of 1988. My Great Aunt and godmother, whose birthday I was born on, was in ill health and we figured it was going to be her last Christmas. We always celebrated our mutual birthday together until we moved to Illinois when I was 6 and she often flew out to Illinois to continue the tradition until she became to frail.
I was living 3000 miles away in the Florida Keys, but I was going to fly up, spend the holidays with family and say our goodbyes. I didn't make it. She had a heart attack less than 48 hours before I got there.
It still hurts just as bad. Just not as often.
 
i thankfully have never suffered the loss of a child or parent, i couldnt imagine.
over the course of a year i got hooked on meth, tried to sustain a normal life until finally my brain went screwy. hearing and seeing things that arent there for a couple months, and knowing that you are a smart person that should know better will rip you apart inside.

thankfully 5 years later, a great family, spouse, and 2 kids and i am living a fullfilling life. other than the fact that i still have panic attacks, and feel comfortable around basically nobody except my wife and kids.
 
wow such a sad thread. I am sorry for the loss each one of you has suffered. Life is much more fragile and people see to easily forget that.

For me It all happened in the last year. First I got the call that the dog we had owned from when I was in 6th grade passed away. Not to long after that I got a call that my Uncle up north had a heart attack... I was close with my Uncle and we had a lot of good memories and I was always his favorite niece. Well the heart attack left him brain dead and he passed away. I wanted to fly out so bad but I was unable to afford a plane ticket to go up there (as in no credit card to put it on and no cash). Than last month I got a phone call that my grandpa had a heart attack. He was still alive in ICU. Eventually he got moved out of ICU and seemed to be making progress. I was still afraid so I finally decided that I was going to drive out anyways and at 2am in the morning (the day I planned to leave) I got the phone call, he had passed away in his sleep. I was so upset, I was so mad at myself that I didnt drive up sooner. I did however get to talk to him on the phone the day before hand and I got to tell him that I loved him and that I was doing ok (he always asked). I always make sure to call my grandma every or everyother day to see how she is doing. I always think about how she must be feeling and that hurts too. I dont have a big family I talk to 2 cousins on rare occasions, my mom, dad, brohter, aunt, my uncle that passed and my grandma and my grandpa who passed, so it's hard for me because they are all I have from my family.
 
Svang, your story is both sad and terrifying. As a soon-to-be dad (#2) I can't imagine your pain...

I lost my dad a few years ago. He was 70 and in excellent shape when he had a stroke. Most people survive this kind of stroke, but he wasn't so lucky. It was the worst thing that has happened in my life, and has changed my outlook on things considerably. That said, losing a child would have to be ten times worse.
 
as a father of four i hope and pray i never learn the pain of losing my child or wathcing them suffer. i can't imagine anything worse my life. thank you God for all the blessings you have given and still give to this underserving sinner.

my 12 year old daughter was born three weeks early. her lungs were not yet ready to breath normally. the day we get her home she throws her first test at new parents. i'm changing her diaper and the wife is at her head. i'm not quite finished and the wife snatches her up. "what are you doing i'm almost done?" panicked reply "SHES NOT BREATHING"...... i put me ear to little hannah's nose and nothing. no wind, no cry, no vioce, no breath. i grab the phone and dial 911. "911 whats your emergency?". while explaining i have a 2 day old baby not breathing, i'm using the sucker ball thing on each nostril and on her throat.

i check with my ear again and still nothing. suck again left nostril, right nostril, throat, and out a cry finally comes. obviously if she can cry she can breath. i tell the operator its ok and she is moving air again. they still dispatch fire, sheriff, and an ambulance. we lived next to the fire station so it was literally 3 or 4 minutes and they were there.

since hannah was now fine they left pretty quick and assured us the trip was just fine. they never mind making sure a baby is ok. we must have looked like noob's with this being our first child. i will tell you till the day i die she was not breathing. there was nothing.

just after they left it was finally calm and i was standing in the living room and it hit me. it was possible to have lost our first child the second day of her life had my wife not noticed she wasn't breathing. instant shakes and tears like someone flipped a switch in my brain. it was almost uncontrollable and hannah was fine. today she is a happy 12 year old.

i am so blessed that this is the worst moment in my 40 years of life. to lose children or watch them have to fight and stuggle is unimaginable to me. i will say more prayers for all of you. God bless. dave
 
I hope to never know the pain of losing a child, and am truly sorry for the losses that I have read about.

The worst for me was the loss of my Gran. When I was little my Gran practically raised me, I was with her probably 5 nights of the week. She taught me to read and write, and supported everything I was even mildly interested in. When I was 10 years old she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. I became her primary care giver. I learned how to change bandages, cook, clean, and take care of her. When she was first diagnosed she was given 3 months to live, but incredibly lived 10 years. Her battle was non-stop, the cancer spread from her stomach, to the liver, to the breast and lymph nodes, and eventually to her lungs. She passed away on the day of my wedding shower.
