Thank you. That's the good thing about work, I have to get up and keep moving. Monday will be tough when I say my final goodbye. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend enjoying those they love.

In Aug of 2007 I lost my husband, in 3/09 my mom. Then my sister was re-diagnosed with breast cancer 7/09 and fought the brave battle until 11/10. Just over 1 year later on Nov 22, 2011 my brother unexpectedly passed while visiting his daughter and grands. Some days my grief is so heavy I can barey get up from the floor.

Karlene, Im very sorry for the painful loss of your dear friend.  Yes, new losses bring up old grief.  Try to be good to yourself as you go through this time.

My friend lost her battle to cancer today. Oddly enough, I awoke from a sound sleep at 1243 a.m.. Her husband told me that's the time she passed. I think she came to say goodbye on her journey. Rest in peace, Maria. I love you.

Hi. I am new here. I've spent a lot of time not dealing with my losses. I've gotten fairly good at it, but lately, it's getting harder to pretend I'm not in pain. Within a 10 year span I have lost two brothers, two nephews, and two years ago, my dad. Right now, one of my best friends is in hospice care and losing her battle with cancer. My brothers, and nephews were unforeseen sudden loses. My nephews were casualties of war. One of them was the light of my life, and like a son to me. I also have an exceptionally stressful, and often sad profession. I'm an IV therapy RN, so many of my patients are very sick, and I visit them in their homes,so I am privileged to get to know them and their families on an intimate level. I know I need more support than I have asked for before. I'm used to being the person that helps others to heal, not asking for help for myself. Well, that's me in a nutshell. Thank you for listening. K.

Today I am feeling completely overwhelmed by sadness. I know that everyone else in this group is also overwhelmed.  I don't know how to get past the history:  my dad died 12 years ago.  I am at peace with his death.  Feb 1 2012, my husband died 6 months after diagnosis of colon cancer.  March 25, 2012 his father died under very similar conditions.  April 14, my best friend's husband died after a 3 year battle with cancer.  at that point I was numb.  Maybe the numbness is wearing off.  In January, my mom became ill, had her 83rd birthday under hospice care in February, and died March 4, 2013. Her death in the words of hospice "was a good death" -- no pain, no tubes, monitors or machines.  Now I am at home by myself wondering how to go on.  I have been to see my doctor who thinks my adrenal glands are out of whack.  I can't find a local grief group.. don't want to just depend on the meds.

I've endured multiple losses over my entire lifetime. My father committed suicide when I was eleven years old. After that, I lost my mother, not to death but to the bar life because she couldn't handle her grief (understandable). When I was twenty one my husband was ran over by a van, which drug him a considerable length and then ran over him again. Then I had a reprieve of over twenty years until my mother actually passed from emphysema in 2006 and I still miss her terribly. A year and a half ago my beloved pomeranian of fourteen years was attached and killed by a bobcat in my back yard. Lastly, my husband of fourteen years died on October 12, 2012 of a massive stroke. It hurts, it more than hurts. But, I take a deep breath and I have to go on. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger I've found. I think although we feel loss on many different levels depending on what we've lost, loss is loss at the end of the day and can leave us feeling depleted and empty if we don't fight to hang on so that's what I intend on doing. Now acting on that thought, that's the hard part. We all have to keep trying, day by day, one moment at a time. My heart goes out to every person that's had to endure loss in there life. None of us escape it really.

I'm part of this club..sadly...I don't come on very much lately because I am to the point of giving up..I am so lonely...that I can't breath sometimes.....I have lost my dad, 21 year old daughter, only sibling to suicide, one close friend of 30 years, and another of 48 years.....and lastly my husband 2 years ago to lung and bone cancer...all of these people were very young...I can't stand the pain anymore...God bless all of us...
