sadness
The sadness is overwhelming and I want to just scream . scream so I can release it all.
He wsas healthy and strong and I counted on him and now he is gone and I just hurt so much.
i know i love him and never wanted him to live in pain and i am glad he did not have to loive long with that terrible disease. But I do not know how to get over my deep hurt and sadness.
I need to talk to someone who understands.

I understand. I lost my mother to Bial Duct Cancer. It has almost been a year. I miss her so much it hurts. I finally went to see a therapist and got some medication. I can't sleep anymore. I wish all of this pain would go away. I make myself get out of bed everyday and stay busy. They say time heals, but I don't think it does. It must be alot of time. I am angry at the people that research this horrible disease. My mother's cancer is so rare, it doesn't seem that anyone is working on a cure for her type of cancer. Going to see a therapist has helped me. It may be an option for you if you want to go.

I asked my doctor for a grief counselor. I lost my mother a year ago and then my father 7 weeks later. Five months after that I lost my grandmother. There is no explanation for the way I feel. Some days are better than others. The therapist does help. We just sold their house and we a doing a final cleaning out. The feeling is terrible and overwhelming. I wish you luck and hope you feel better.

I was already seeing a therapist and she even talked to me on the phone while I was out of town. She is a great person and is helping. My hardest time is at night when the whole house is quiet. Due to time differences it was also the time I called my mom the most. For living in a big city I still can't find a good support group. They are all Catholic or christian and I am neither. I just want to be able to talk with people who are going through the same things I am, without bringing "higher powers" into the equation. Just understanding.

Dear Connie: My heart goes out to you. I lost my Daddy May 7, 2010, just 8 weeks after my younger brother died unexpectedly. My Daddy & I also had some bumps in our relationship through the years. He was 84 years old, but I wasn't ready yet. I won't…
It's only been 2 weeks for me so I may not be going about this in the "right" way but if it is just a cashier or waitress or somone I dont know and will probably never see again I just say "Fine.. thank you". because I dont know them and if I try to…
Dear Connie, what you are feeling is typical. you are covered in grief and a million thoughts and emotions are drowning you. You don't know what end is up and total confusion is normal. I was in the same boat, my father passed away March 4 unexpecte…
Hello Everyone, I just found and joined this website earlier tonight in the middle of a bad crying spell that went on most of this afternoon. My father passed away a month ago yesterday from a heart attack. He went into the bedroom to change into…

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

The Gift That Freed Me To Give
A significant lesson for me has been understanding and accepting that our greatest gains often come through experiences in our lives that may be extremely painful. My father, Raphel Orval Beason, died less than four months before I was born at the age of 19 in an explosion at the Port Chicago U.S. Navy arsenal near Oakland, Calif. He was among 320 men killed on July 17, 1944, when two merchant ships blew next to...The loss of a son
Mother's Day will always be the anniversary of my son's death, no matter what date it falls on. May 9, 2010, the day I lost a piece of my heart. I have vivid memories of that day but they are brief glimpses only. He called that morning to tell me Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I remember being 250 miles away from my home, my other child and my family. I don't know...Try tapping, it works wonders...
I don't often recommend specific methods to help with grief. But the self-help method I'm going to tell you about - EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques - is well worth making an exception for. Basically, it involves tapping on the acupuncture points to tap into your body's own energy and healing power. If you think that sounds a little far-fetched and woo-woo, so did I. In fact, I starting doing EFT on myself for chronic...Daughter of Suicide
It has been 22 and a half years since my mother’s suicide in October 1987. I look at that number – 22 – and it startles me. It’s hard to believe that I have lived more of my life without my mother, than with her. During those first 10 years after her death I carried the heavy load of her suicide every waking moment. I struggled with my own depression and feelings of abandonment and...8 practical ways to help a grieving family
When a friend or family member experiences the death of a loved one, we quickly offer our condolences and help. Listed here are eight practical suggestions for helping a friend or family member that has just suffered a loss. 1. Offer to answer the telephone or answer emails at the family's home.
