"Theresa, it's hard for me to be positive about anything. I always feel like something bad is right around the corner. That's because every time I thought mom was safe and had cleared another hurdle, something else would go wrong. It's…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a wife, a mother of two, and a grandmother of three. I love Jesus, my family, hard work and making others happy!
- About my Loss:
- I lost my dad August 17th 2012. I also recently lost my mom on August 24th 2013. As an only child, I feel so much pain, as we were so close and her battle was an all too short one. My dad had cancer for a much longer period. In all, I have watched my grandma, mom and dad become ravaged and ultimately die from cancer. My mom was my best friend, my confidant and my biggest supporter. There is a piece of me that is missing now that my mom is gone. I am not even 50 and both my parents are gone!
- Are You a Service Provider? If Yes, please tell us about your service.
- Yes, I cared for my mom along with help from my young adult children. As I was her only child. I reduced my work hours from full time to part time and less to care for my mom, until she passed.

joe kelly commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."It's been a little bit since I shared but it seems like I'm just stuck, out of sync with everything included myself in a way. It's been like one long endless day. I don't know how to explain it even. I'm…"
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Monty,
For some of us, we will always remain out of sync with the rest of world.
We, like myself. live in our own universe."
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Brett you are right that is the "dark" side, it scares me too
That is so great about the phone call from the directors at the center, that must have made you feel like a million bucks.
You are making a positive impact, I know…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Avi, I actually looked up the EquoVox. I couldn't find an English link for it. I'll keep looking. I'm just really curious how it works. And I want you to make your own decisions. I just want you to be happy."
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"M, I'm half Catholic, and Theresa is 100% Catholic. This is a huge part of Catholicism. Ouiji boards just scare the crap out of me. I listened to a lecture series from a Vatican exorcists. There was a question and answer period. Someone asked…"
M Adams commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Brett, it gives me such a lift to hear about your new gig — sounds perfect! Lucky kids too, great when they can connect with an adult who also makes them laugh.
Your comment re the spirit world app that Avi came across brought back a…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Avi, things like that scare the crap out of me. I mean, how do you know that you are actually communicating with your mom, and not something bad? I believe that you may open yourself to something that may attach itself to you. That's just…"
Brenda Ann left a comment for Lisa"Dear Lisa,
I send you my heartfelt condolences as well as a welcome to our website. It is a safe place to come and talk or vent about your loss. Talking is very helpful in sorting out how to move forward. I would like to share a paragraph from what…"
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"No we should not, God is the only communicator Avi, you are right.
We should not disturb the deceased, they are in peace, it is us who are not in peace.
I still struggle everyday, I just have come to recognize that this is my new life. "
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Monty,
I m sure everyone on our forum had a very bad day. I just kept myself very busy all. Since I live in Florida and it is in the 70's I worked outside all day long. I feel Julian is with when I am outside. He knew I just loved the outdoors…"
Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Hi Friends,
Few days back I came to know an app EquoVox which can help you communicate with your loved ones who are deceased. It seems be fake to me but have seen some videos on you tube people claiming its real. Did anybody on this group…"
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Trina,
It is so true, my Julian and I celebrated everyday of our life together like you an Joseph. We were Blessed."
Trina Mamoon commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Linda, thank you for the post. The words ring very true.
Today is Valentine’s Day, but fortunately for me, Joseph and I didn’t always celebrate on this day. We didn’t feel that we had to show our love and devotion on a specific day…"
Linda Engberg commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Thanks everyone. I was upset that we couldn't share our posts, now I am fine. Thanks"

Hi Wendy,
I am part of a research team at Saint Louis University that is conducting a research project about how families communicate about making medical decisions for loved ones at the end-of-life.
I have read a bit about your story with your mom and dad and I'm interested in hearing more of your story. If this is something you would be comfortable with, please email me at cgibso10@slu.edu.
Thanks for the gift. However do not look at yourself as an orphan.
Boabie, good to be your friend.
Hello Boabie! Always glad to welcome a new friend!
