A place to share writings or pictures that you found helpful in your journey.  I know that over the last 3+ years I have saved many.  

8/30/15  It is now over 5+ years and I am still travelling this journey of grief, but it has changed.  It is a little kinder and gentler at times.

I had hoped that others would have shared on here.  Anything that you have that touches you.  Writings, pictures?

Thank you for being here.  :(

The Elephant In The Room

There's an elephant in the room.
It is large and squatting, so it is hard to get around it.
Yet, we squeeze by with, "how are you" and "I'm fine..."
and a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.
We talk about everything else except the elephant in the room.
We all know it's there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we talk.
It is constantly on our minds.
For you see, it is a very big elephant.
But we do not talk about the elephant in the room.
Oh, please, somebody say my child`s name; Oh, please, say it again.
Oh, please, let`s talk about the elephant in the room.
For if we talk about their death, perhaps we can talk about their life.
Can I say their name...and not have you look away?
For if I cannot, you are leaving me alone...
In a room...with an elephant.

This song has been playing over and over in my head the last couple of weeks.  What songs touch your heart?

"Welcome to the group.  I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too.  Reading through your story really touched a chord with me.  Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
