I Miss My Parent(s)

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.

It's the harsh reality of life but it can kill you from within.

As a child I saw my mother in bed for 17 years and after a prolonged illness she passed away in 2002. My father has been my rock solid support system and has been the pillar of strength for me…Continue

Tips on making it through....

So, I've lost both parents in the last 10 months.  Just lost my mom (both unexptected) in the last month.  IN addition, both my brothers have brain injuries, so I'm the primary caregiver at this…Continue

I lost my dad to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) on June 20, 2011.  Although we had our differences, I loved and respected him.  While I'm glad he's out of pain, I know I'll miss him very much. My emotions are on a roller coaster ride.  One minute I'm crying the next I'm laughing at funny things dad said or did.  We've been dealing with this as a family for two years.  I did my best to prepare for dad's death but I can't believe he's actually gone. I'll miss you daddy.  Keep a watchful eye out for me.

you are a sweetie Mary....I am letting the tears come today....she was just so special, I really really miss her....life is different, I just try and move on and take one day at a time....noone can understand unless it happens to them.....all that closeness, losing my best friend, she is still with me, but I'm selfish, I want her here with me, but not sick like that, never....that broke my heart so bad.....

Rachel,

My heart feels your pain. There is nothing more wonderful in the world than the love of a mother. I was devastated to say the least. My world changed forever. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have her longer in my life, where relationship becomes close as the years go on. It is definitely life changing. It's hard, but we must learn to live differently. Remember and honor her life and live on a joyous life because she would want you to....prayers are with you..take care.

I pray for all of you who are struggling with your loss.

Losing a parent, no matter their age or your and no matter the circumstance... It's so very difficult. I was 12 when I lost my mother and 33 when my dad died. Life changes!!! I feel they are still with me..always. We remain connected even though we cannot see them. I

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

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
