To all my friends i met on here, and those that have just joined, it sounds a bit hollow wishing everyone a Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas but what else can i say. To Guy, my sincerest condolences on this most devestating loss, nothing anyone can say will make it any better,  your wife will live for ever in your heart and in your memory and this is something to hold onto and cherish. This is also my first Christmas without my dearest Wife and today our faithfull companion dog that we rescued from the streets and lived with us 9 years also passed away. My wishes goes out to all in this one of their darkest hours and wish you Light and the presence of your loved ones sharing this day with you.

I'm coming up on the anniversary of my mother's death from leukemia. She went in to the hospital on Christmas, and died three days later. Christmas is always so hard for me because I associate it with losing her, not to mention missing her at this time. No one wants to talk about her no longer being here, which is very painful for me. I am thankful for this message board - reading your comments has helped me tremendously and made me feel less alone.

Guy, My Condolences.  I was there and am still trying to recover.  Today has been the most difficult day in a very long time.  Denise loved Christmas and we only spent one wonderful Christmas together.  We had no idea it would be our only Christmas together.  Christmas without Denise seems hollow and empty, like my whole life.  The only thing I look forward to in life is the hour a month i spend with my therapist.  And I hope to increase that to twice a month.

Guy, I am so sorry.  Please stay in touch with your family and friends.  You need them right now, don't try to do this alone.  God bless you and may you find peace soon.

I just lost my wife to Hodgkin's Disease on Christmas Eve.  We were newly weds and have been together for 3 years and we were approaching our first anniversary as being a married couple on Jan. 9th. I'm still very numb over the pain and have spent all day thinking about it and speaking with friends and family members over the phone about it. I feel as if my life is over and I don't know how to go on from here.

I am glad i found this place.

I lost my fiancee to colon cancer in sept. 09 and i am still very sad and depressed all the time.  the holidays are really getting to me and i feel like i am going crazy.  saying I miss her is not nearly enough.

I know the pain you all are going through to losing someone to cancer! It will be a year that i lost my wonderful sweet loving mother on january the 12! It still feels like it was yesterday! Its been a rough year and i really dont look forward to christmas. I dont look at it the same. Dont get me wrong i have a wonderful family, kids and grandkids to hold me up but it still not the same. Im not the same person i use to be before i lost my mother. It changes you. I look at life very differantly now. I pray to god everynight to help me with my pain. Hes helped me through alot. But theres still that empty feeling. Everyone tells me it will be ok but they dont understand until they wouldve lost a loved one to cancer. I wish they would come up with a cure to beat this deadly disease. I pray for all of you for your loss. I ask you, please do the same for me. Dont be afraid to message me. In my picture is me with my mother and granddaughter. Tina

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
