I lost my Mom over 12 years ago. I still miss her enery, love and laughter. We talked 2-3 times a day and even now I wonder when the phone rings. She too thought she could beat this horrible diese. But it took her away within weeks. They told us we had 6 months left. She fought a brave fight for over 3 years. Why do the good have to die so young? She was my strenght and best friend. No one can even come close to replacing her.

Stephanie I am sorry for your loss. It has been almost five years and it almost killed me. I adored him and to watch him suffer so much. Unfortunately, anniversaries are hard. I dread my birthday, Nov 24, Thanksgiving and Christmas since my mom died on August 17, 2009.
This is a wonderful support group if I did not have all you guys I would be in much worse shape.

Im so sorry that today has been so difficult for you. I can definately identify wtih you because even though it was painful to watch my mother die, I also knew that she didn't want to be in pain any longer. Im praying for you too and know that anniversaries are always difficult, so allow yourself permission to do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself today! My heart goes out to you and hope you get the support you need today!

This morning has been a bad morning. I lost my father to cancer 1 year and 6 months ago. The 1st year was the worst year of my life so far. I'm not sure what triggered the sadness and uncontrollable crying today...probably anything, thats how it usually is. I heard this song "my ship has finally come" and instead of me listening to it and thinking positive things I could only think of my father in Hospice dying waiting on this "ship" and how I feel like he really was not ready to get on the "ship" but he know he had no choice. Does that make any sense. I hope I am wrong but I guess today I feel sad because I know he wasn't ready to die. Now, who is ready to die....I know most people don't really want to die but I don't know how else to explain it. He knew he was dying but not ready to die so soon (within months). Even though he was extremely sick, I think myabe he thought he would beat it, or the doctors would do some kind of surgery to give him more time. Then on the other hand, I knwo he was tired of being sick and not able to care for himself. I feel like an idiot like I'm not explaining this right. Anyway, I hope the members of this group that loss someone to the horrible demon of cancer understands me. Sometimes I miss my dad so much it feels like I can't breathe. I am praying for everyone.

I find it amazing that as an adult I need my parents love & support so very much and they are gone. Nodody loved me, cared for me and listened to me like they do. I am still mostly numb right now but I know the pain will come through.

right now thinking and remembering the good times just make me cry like right now. And I want more with him. it just hurts. And I know it takes time. I hate this sadness.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope someday the tears stop for you and you can remember all the good times. I know it doesn't help fill your arms, your heart. But that thought has gotten me through the loss of our daughter. Your grief is so new yet. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I have lost my husband to a very aggressive lung cancer on July 20, 2009.
I looked all my life for the right man and I found him 11 years ago and now he is gone and I am so very lost.I am so sad and crying all the time and I so want him to be with me again. i know he is happy and I did not want him to suffer but now I dont know how to go on.

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
