At least I can say that my mom and dad got to see their 50th Wedding Anniversary...and that I got to attend it too...it was so great a day in history.

It's such a shock when you think that your parents will live forever! And then the day comes when you get the news that  one of your parents has failing health and passes....then the other one holds on to life stubbornly until her failing health renders her to death....How sad...I could talk about many things that would lead to a very lengthy comment but will just leave it at this for now.

Your life does change when a family member dies and all you can do is pray to God to give you the strength to carry on with your life...Hold on to those memories as that's all you have.

Rachel,

Thank you for you kind words. I miss my mother every day--she has been gone since 1973. I've experienced more of my life without her, than with her. Sad. We are so connected to our mothers. Its a life bond.

just to add...for some reason, even though I was close to my father, my mother's death has affected me much more, probably because we had such a special person, it was almost as if we were the same person....I loved my dad dearly, but my mom, there was just this sweetness about her, and her personality that made me really get much more attached and have that deep love for her....I'm peaceful about her passing, for her, but I just miss her so terribly, even though she is still with me, its just different....

Mary, I am so sad and sorry about all of your losses....cancer is just such a bad thing....my father died of it first at age 68, 8 years ago, then my mom just passed away from it about 2 months ago now, at age 79.....both of their deaths were pretty much sudden....my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and 2 weeks later died....my mom was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and died 3 weeks later....its bizarre how their circumstances were so similar....to lose your mother at such a young age, I am just so very sorry hun....losing both my parents to cancer was an awful thing, losing them in any way is and was awful....my heart goes out to you....it really does.....and you are right, death is not the end, they are always with us....in a sense they never die....just their body.....I have learned alot about that.....my mom's spirit is so strong, and I know she went straight to heaven, I am blessed about that....

Losing a loved one to cancer is difficult and life changing. I always feel like I am in some strange sense a "cancer survivor", because cancer not only steals our loved ones, but changes the immediate family's lives forever.
My story is a long one, but I would like to share this with all of you....I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was a child. She was only 39 years old. Her death changed me forever and made me the person I am today. There was much more struggle in my life after her death. I am not going to lie, it was difficult.

Then in 1993, my father died from kidney cancer and 7 years later my only older brother died at age 41 of pancreatic cancer. I learned a very important lesson after my brother's illness and death. Our loved ones remain connected to us FOREVER. Death is not the end.

I have written a book about my experiences with death and all that has transpired through out my journey. I have been blessed with a gift of knowing. There is life after life. I have lived a life of unexpected tragedy, but my faith has always remained close to my heart. My purpose and this divine gift give testament to the world we all have waiting for us after this life, an eternal tomorrow, as promised in the Bible. Our loved ones would not want us to be sad. They would want us to live out the rest of our lives in happiness and peace. They watch over us and help guide us.

This is what I have learned and this is what I wish to share with all of you who have lost a loved one.  http://www.maryelizabethrobinson.com

Dad died of pancreatic cancer.  I get sudden bursts of grief at what seems like less than moment's notice.  I call it emotional narcolepsy.  I just wish it would go away.  Most people would not understand this, so I put myself under great stress to stifle it.  It's awful.  I fear I'll have a heart attack in the process.  Any thoughts?
