This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

Hi Kathy,
I am very sorry for your loss and understand it well. I lost the love of my live 2 years, 2 months and 1 day from brain cancer. I don't understand why you feel guilt for anything due to his cancer. You had no control over what happened and there was nothing you could do except be there for him. I am sure you were and believe me that meant more to him than anything else you could have done. He is fine now, as is my husband. It is the ones they leave behind that suffer and miss them. Try to find something in your life that you feel has meaning and direct your guilt to doing something good with it. I just started volunteering for hospice and found my first visit very rewarding. I know it is not for everyone but no matter how we feel about cancer, the people suffering from it need support and many don't have that. I hope you find some peace soon. Jeanne

For anyone interested...here is a link to a small tract called

"What Hope For Dead Loved Ones?"
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/what-hope-for-dead-loved-on...

It is very educational. It probably offers a different view that what most are used to.

I am sharing it in an effort to offer some comfort and hope to everyone here.

JB, I know what you mean. I hate anything to do with cancer research, I change channels whenever the ad for cancer treatment centers comes on. I feel like its a big conspiracy, companies benefiting from depsperate people, even though they know that cancer is incurabel in this day and age. I'm so angry, death seems much better than this hell we are living.

Mary M. When I suffered the first loss, my daughter was seven months, so I know what you are going through. What I know is that I'm in this world because of her. If I didn't have her, I know i would have died from self destruction. I feel so bad for her, since I suffered three back to back losses in her young life and have not been the same person ever since. Its very hard Mary, I know, but try and find a reason to get up everyday, my reason is my daughter.

Comment by mercy on February 16, 2013 at 9:09am

Hey Sue. Nice to hear from you too. My baby girl might think mom is crazy sometimes, sicne my mood can shif dratically sometimes. I hide my tears from her as much as I can, but its not alwyas easy. Take care dear.

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
