"No One Understands
I feel like no one understands what it's like to lose your Mother when you are 2 years old. So many grief support groups and pages are focused on recent losses, and I get so frustrated because no one out there is like me. My…"

How can I help?
A poem I wrote a few months ago when a friend was at a loss how to help, unfortunately she is not in contact with me now, she couldn't watch me in pain. I know its hard to see someone you love in pain.

My near death experience
I know that a lot of you have lost loved ones to tragedies like my experience nearly was and must have wondered how your loved ones felt if they knew they were going to die. I guess maybe everyones reactions may be different but felt to share my story and how I felt when I knew I was going to die. I hope it may help in some way.
When I was 11 I was out at sea with my dinghy when a massive freak wave came towards me, I wasn't sure what to do whether to try and ride it or try and get to…

The lifeline of love
Thought I would share with you another poem I wrote,
The lifeline of love

until death came and took you away
and snapped right through our strong twine
Now I am falling so very fast
no lifeline with which to save me
I never thought the line would…

Has your grief affected your faith?
I have been a christian for 18 years and have loved the lord with all my heart and been an active member of my church for that time. I have been through many trials and have always found strengh in God and my church family. At the moment though I am really struggling, I havn't been to church since January and have not been able to worship, I know God is with me and don't want to abandon him or my faith but there seems to be a barrier. I wondered if anyone on here has found this difficult. It…

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...
New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission. This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions. Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront. Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there. Not…See More
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times? I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."
"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments. On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"
