"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 met my husband in September 1998. We met at the American hockey league booster club convention in Rochester NY. He was from Syracuse NY and I am from Philadelphia.
- About my Loss:
- My husband died at age 42 from Sinus cancer that had spread throughout his body. He was diagnosed with this twice. Once in April 2013 which went into remission and again in April 2014. Unlike most cancer victims, his tumor was both inside and outside of his body. He hated the way he looked and hated going out in public.

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

Hi Donna. I am so sorry for what happened to your husband. You have a similar story to my own. My husband had a melanoma removed from his calf in 2008. They were so sure they got it all after the last surgery they didn't do any other treatment. In 2011 he had fast onset pain with no real explanation until the cancer was found by cat scans and mri. His pain started the end of April, the bone cancer at the base of his skull was diagnosed by mri in May and he was gone July 1st. I know this is going to sound crazy but I wish he had gone faster so he could have avoided that last month of horrendous pain. Please do not feel guilty for being thankful your husband was spared that. Hugs to you from me if you will accept them.
