I lost my grandson over a year ago. I pray for those who grieve over losing loved ones. It is a hurt that cannot be explained, a void that won't go away. I hang on to my faith in God and I am assured of his comfort and strength.
Bless you.

Its really terrible loss for you and can't forget. I m sorry for your mom. Sudden death is really painful and we stay away from our loved one. Its difficult to deal with this grief. I pray to God for you and give you strength. My condolences for you. Sympathy Verse

We lost our wonderful daughter while we were all whitewater rafting. We couldn't save her. One moment she was waving she was okay and the next she went under and didn't come back up. Her foot got stuck in some rocks. That was 9 years ago. The path of grief is a long one. But I can tell you in time it does soften. Hardest time for me is the holidays. I will be so glad when the New Year is behind us. I'm sorry you lost your Mom and I know how your heart is breaking. It will take a long time to get that image out of your mind. But it does get better. I am praying for you and your family. God Bless

Thanks Katherine,
Today is hard as it is my 47th birthday. My first one without my mom being here. It is so quiet in the house when you are alone. Did you feel restless and difficulty sleeping? Its getting a bit better but I miss mom so much and dad too of course!
Thanks for the words of wisdom and comfort.

Hi Kristine, My Parents lived with us, so they had their own room which is still the same minus the their bed because we took that out when they got sick we had to get hospital beds, and you know they came and took those just as soon as they passed!…
I think that expecting the hurt to end this soon is just too much to expect. You have had a great loss and in some ways a part of you. No need to feel guilt however hearing that likely does not change your feelings. Your feelings are yours and there…
i have the same feeling. I lost my brother last january 11, 2010 and it hurts so much. I feel unmotivated, disoriented and just want to sulk. I feel that there no sense in anything I do. I miss my brother so much. I cry a lot especially at night whe…

Wow~your story is almost a mirror of mine, though I never had children. (My cats are my kids). How do you do it? Survive so many losses without dying inside? You must be in better physical and emotional shape than I. I can't get out of bed for the m…
I am creating this site for the many of us who have suffered several losses. I lost my mom, dad, grandma(2nd mom), grandpa, my beloved dog and divorce.
Many of us have lost more than one person or event.
Come share!
I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.
For everyone that has lost their Dad.
Thank goodness other people have posted the dumb and insensitive remarks that have fallen upon their ears too!!!
I lost my son on Thanksgiving Day to a drug overdose which is hard to internalize but what people say can be so insensitive!

These are amazing experiences. I love to read them. Keep them coming. They certainly have a healing effect. At least for me, anyway. They really make me smile and feel more comfortable.
I understand your struggle. Dealing with death isnt an easy part of life. I am sorry for ALL your losses.
I lost my mom 3 years ago to liver cancer. My dad hadnt been in my life since I was 7 and all my siblings were much older than me. I was the b…

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell

It’s a unique feeling, when it finally dawns on you that someone who has been a part of your life for such a long time is no longer there. It’s a sickening realisation that stops you in your tracks. In your mind you can visualise the person, smiling, talking, living, but when the vision fades you realise that this is now your only connection to them. Through memories, photographs, anecdotes and, on a higher plane,...Badge
