Hi Gail, Thank you for all your kindness and support. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, they don’t live here anymore, they moved a year ago after a long four month stay to one of the sunshine states but now the grieving just seems too much at time…
I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPERIn the morningsI reserve my drive timeTo say hello to youAnd to feel you surround me With your violet eddy of emotions.In the beginning, a hundred years ago (or was it yesterday?),My trips to town were for crying,For screaming,…
I can see the kindness in your grandfather's eyes. I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my mom on Jan 22 so we are in the same boat. She was my best friend and the person I counted on most in life and I am married if that tells you something. She and…
At the end of the first week, I visit my sister for a couple of days. I actually look forward to the drive. It’s just me and Brodie safe in my car for three hours. Nothing I can do about anything except keep my mind on the music, which I play loudly…
Hi Nancy,
One day at a time is very good advice and I have heard to do everything on my own timetable as everyone is unique, the pain is the same for all of us, but we are all individuals so I know you are right, but there are a few things I'm tryin…

Hi Racer Girl :o)
I am so sorry that your son and daughter in law are such a selfish pair, I could almost understand their own need to isolate themselves but to isolate your Grandchildren from you- in your own house is completely heartless.
And no,…
Suzanne,
One day at a time is the best advice someone gave me and I pass it along to you. The othe piece of adive is to do everything on your time table; what works for you is what you should do. Such things as taking off your wedding rings or remov…
I don’t what category I belong in, I know I miss my son, but my loss isn’t a grieving of death loss, it’s a grieving of the living loss. You see, I am grieving over the loss of my son and my grandchildren although they are still of this world. The r…
For all of us that are suffering the loss a son or daughter.
Dear Nancy,
I really would love to hear about what you learned about coping. It would be much appreciated. I know that here on these grief sites as I go online to others as well and I do get support from those who understand. I am fortunate that I h…
My ex husband passed away about 12 years after we were divorced. I think I felt that maybe I was not entitled to grieve as he was no longer my husband. I was devasted by his death as he had been sick for a while but did not tell his family or friend…
I know exactly what you are saying. Most people think you should be able to move on so quickly. Everyone has to take it at their own pace and the worse thing someone can do is not recognize your grief. I am new to this site.

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

For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

Don't make hasty decisions after the death of a loved one
Hi, I wonder if you could advise people not to do anything hasty after the sudden death of a loved one. My son committed suicide about 4 years ago and in my shock and grief I made some very foolish decisions which could cost me my home. At the time of my son's death one of his friends was living with us and had been a part of our family for nearly 7 years. After...Living your life backwards
Ben's first duty as a new pastor was to conduct a funeral service for Albert, a man who had died in his eighties. Since he didn't know the deceased, he invited members of the congregation to say a few kind words about Albert. No one budged. "Many of you knew Albert for years," Ben prompted them. "Surely someone can say something nice." After an uncomfortable pause, a voice from the back of the room said,...Bereavement Overload - Coping With Multiple Losses
How can anyone cope with the death of more than one family member when those deaths occur in a short period of time? What happens to the person who is grieving the death of a loved one, then loses a job, and has to move from their home or apartment because of financial conditions? Multiple losses occur more frequently than most people realize and they can complicate the mourning process. To begin with, it is...7 powerful ways to deal with grief
An interesting article just came in from the singer and songwriter Barbara Lewis, and I though it was so helpful to those coping with the loss of a loved one that I am reproducing it here: As a long-time performer - singer/songwriter - many events from my private life have appeared in songs. When my brother took his own life, and many years later, when my beloved husband of thirty years suddenly died, I brought...How to find the perfect funeral poem
Reading poems at a funeral can provide comfort to those who are suffering from the the loss of a loved one. Poets have the gift of being able to use words to give expression to the most sublime sentiments of the heart, and many of the most famous poets in history have used their talents to write about death and dying. Some poems about death can be dark, with emphasis on the misery of the...Badge
