"Welcome to the group. I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too. Reading through your story really touched a chord with me. Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a mother of 3 living boys, and I trying to put my life back together after a serious relationship filled with domestic violence and alcohol tore my family apart. i am back working and trying to regain my own strength, however I deal daily with my loss and grief issues, and wonder why people always tell you that time heals all.
- About my Loss:
- In August of 1999 my grandmother(whom was very young when I was born, and whom I was much closer to than my mother,)lost my stillborn in order to save my own life, and my mother was tragically hit by a car as a pedestrian all within 3 weeks. January 2000 my daughter started having grand-mal seizures as she turned 2 years old, and I tried desperately to keep her healthy, her father's family doubted the seriousness of her death, until April 9,2000 when my best friend had to call them because I couldn't to tell them my baby girl was gone. since then I have lost friends, paternal grandmother and watched other close family members get sick, always terrified of death. Somedays are ok, while other days, when things get complicated in life, I always go back to dealing etih the loss of my baby girl.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
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

I'm sorry I missed your birthday. Somehow the automatic notifier missed it. Hope it was happy.
I can't imagine losing a child. It would be unbearable for me. I wish I could hug you personally. So please accept a virtual hug. I'm just an email/message away. Feel free to pour yourself out here. It's a safe environment.
