Comment by Jodi Cole on March 7, 2010 at 1:32pm - I lost my mom six weeks ago tomorrow to lung cancer. When we found out she had the cancer she was already in stage four and the doctors gave her up to six months to live, she made it three. She was my best friend in the whole world and I miss her terribly. I don't know what to do or how to heal it it just hurts all the time. People tell me it will get better with time but how much time. Any support or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated

- I lost my mum on 26th December 2009. Losing a mum is hard but being the one to find her dead is even harder. I can't say my mum was my best friend we had a complicated relationship. When i was younger she was the best mum anyone could have ever asked for but i lost her to Alcoholism and depression. There isn't a day that goes by now when i dont think about her. i dream about her almost every night i heard this is a way of grieving but i don't know. I realised you only ever have one mum and i lost mine. there is not a day i wake up where i dont wana cry i do i just generally cannot. Realising someone is gone is soo hard i never thought the first funeral i would be going to is my own mothers. Death is such a hard thing to get through but eventually we will all try our best to get through it ewven if it does not fully go away forever. The thing that hurts most is she will never see me get married or even get to see her own grand child and i cannot believe she has gone just before i turn 21. I cannot talk to anyone about this as they have not lost a parent. Watching someone so beautiful deteriorate in front of you're eyes and not being able to do anything to make it right is one of the hardest things i have ever done. Losing a mother before she has died is also very hard. I appreciate having a mum. I know she is now at peace and is not suffering anymore and no one can hurt her.

- I lost mom to Colon Cancer on January 12, 2010. My mom was my best friend. We talked about any and everything. I don't think I have ever been so good at my job..haha..I have been trying to stay busy because I find it takes my mind off everything.... I miss her soooo much!!! I can't imagine not ever hearing her voice again. I was sitting at work the other day and just started crying thinking about her and the last time we talked. Do things ever feel normal or is this surreal feeling going to last? I dunno..I just feel lost in a way...

Comment by Tania Isaacs on February 28, 2010 at 12:32am - I lost my Mom on Feb. 12 and the last 3 days have been extreemly hard for me. I have never felt such pain in my entire life. Not only does my heart break, but my soul actually hurts and it is sometimes more than I think I can stand. my mom and I were very close, I was her only child and I need her more than I ever have and she's gone. I miss her so very much.

I lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago.Everyday I miss her SO much. I just moved to NYC and I never imagined how lonely it can get. I guess all those thoughts I have repressed for three years are coming to the surface. It all just sucks. I have no family I can talk to about this, and my friend, well I dont want to bother them with the same old talk. I am at that point in my life where I REALLY need her. I am 20 years old, and there is a lot I have to figure out in life on my own, with no guidance. It's suffocating sometimes, without her here I feel lost. She always gave the best advice, despite whether I wanted to admit to it. I am starting to forget what she looks like and what she sounds like. I wish I had pictures of us together, but my older sister took all of them and she wont let any one touch them. She's always been a selfish b****.
I want to talk to her so bad, I miss her and took everything for granted while she was still alive. Where do I go from this? How does it get better? I dont want to live in this pain for the rest of my life!

- I did not mention in my last post something VERY important...my mom was/is my best friend...as close as you can be. In some ways it is best she did not watch my sister die. I am happy for that...but EVERY moment of EVERY day...I hurt for her...I miss her.

Hi Stella. I am so sorry about your loss. I am in a similar situation. My fiancee of 55 died on Feb. 11 unexpectedly with a heart attac, at the age of 55 and I am so angry and depressed and am a Christian but still have not found the comfort that I…
Marlene,
I don't even know where to begin in conveying my condolences to you for all of your losses. Sorry just seems so lame and insignificant. My heart goes out to you.
You're surprised that you think you can write?? You ARE a writer. I assumed…
Thank you so much for your understanding and your empathy. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, especially to a heart attack at such a young age. I just never even considered that something like this could happen in MY life. I know…
Laura--Thank you so much. It actually allows me to breathe a little easier knowing that people here will understand what I'm going through, even if it's in their own individual ways. I don't feel like anyone here will rush me along in my grief; curr…
First of all, it hasn't happened yet. Doctors said that any hour from now it could be the time. My father is at the hospital and I take care of my brother (food, school, etc). I can't sleep and I'm grieving like she's already gone. Other problems oc…
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack Nov. 2008. Its still hard. I'm still healing... or trying. I know about losing the center of your world. The one everything in your life revolves around. How every thought always…
Its horrible to lose the man you love. I can't imagine not getting the support from those you love because of certain circumstances. That must make it even more difficult. My husband was 38 and died of a heart attack and there was just nothing we co…
Looks like a lot of love in his eyes. It must have been really rough to watch him go through everything. Death can be a brutal thing to watch. Its hard to see someone you love suffer so. You saw something you never wanted to see. Its too bad everyon…
My husband of 27 years died at home on September 13, 2009 after a long illness. Illnesses actually. Six weeks later, our dog Brodie died. Broken heart, I think. God, I envy that.
My Mom had died on June 15, 2008. Three weeks before her death, our…

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

9VCNMPFYEMUA How can anyone cope with the death of more than one family member when those deaths occur in a short period of time?

An interesting article just came in from the singer and songwriter Barbara Lewis, and I though it was so helpful to those coping with the loss of a loved one that I am reproducing it here: As a long-time performer - singer/songwriter - many events from my private life have appeared in songs. When my brother took his own life, and many years later, when my beloved husband of thirty years suddenly died, I brought...How to find the perfect funeral poem
Reading poems at a funeral can provide comfort to those who are suffering from the the loss of a loved one.
