Hi Andrea. I am sorry for your loss your sister was so young. My sister was with me for much longer and I can feel your pain. Even when my sister was dying in hospital she was worried about how I would cope after she was gone. I am not coping all th…
Dear Lindsay. I know what you mean. I lost my best friend/older sister to lung cancer on the 12/10/2009. I seperated in March 2009 so I did not have a partner to talk to. I am the youngest in my family so I don't know my older brothers very well. Th…
I know how you feel. My sister was ill for only about three months prior to her diagnosis with lung cancer. We were all worried and concerned but the doctors ran numerous tests that told them nothing. It wasn't until she had a fit and started losing…
I feel like I have lost the best part of me with my sis. Lesley was 11 years older than me but when I got older and started a family we became very very close. We would talk daily about nothing for hours at a time. She was my number 1 supporter. If…
Janine you have gotten some wonderful advice from the ladies on here. Isn't this website wonderful?! I am so glad you found us. I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I have lost my mom, dad and a daughter so I can try to imagine how you are feeling.…
For anyone woman who has lost a sister.
Thank you Julie & Lauren I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is really not fair.
When my ex left I joined an online support group the first day and I found it so helpfull. The only people that really understand are ones that have gone through it. F…
Wow! It has been a rough year for you. I am sorry about both your divorce and loss of your sister. It may not help but what you are experiencing is normal. Whatever you feel is normal. I have found this to be a great place to share your feelings, as…
Thank you for your kindness. My ex isn't around anymore but even if he was here he would be of no help at all. My kids (not really kids now 25 & 18) both boys tend to freak out when I am upset. My mother deals with her loss by not dealing with it at…
Janine I so feel your pain. I am so sorry for your loss. It is like someone pulled the life right out of you. My sister passed away 2 years ago last month to breast cancer and I could tell you it's going to get better and it will. Instead of crying…
It has been a bad year. My 27 year marraige ended suddenly in April when my ex left to live with his internet affair. No great loss really but I think the trauma may have affected the way I am reacting to the loss of my sister in October. When my ex…

- I find that it really sucks. I live in Florida and all of my family is in PA. I do not know many people here. I have my Husband and my Daughter, but I know they get tired of me being the way I have been being. Then I feel guilty for it. I wish I could go to bed and wake up and it all be one big bad dream!! I am sure you do too!

Hi Stella. I am so sorry about your loss. I am in a similar situation. My fiancee of 55 died on Feb. 11 unexpectedly with a heart attac, at the age of 55 and I am so angry and depressed and am a Christian but still have not found the comfort that I…
Marlene,
I don't even know where to begin in conveying my condolences to you for all of your losses. Sorry just seems so lame and insignificant. My heart goes out to you.
You're surprised that you think you can write?? You ARE a writer. I assumed…
Thank you so much for your understanding and your empathy. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, especially to a heart attack at such a young age. I just never even considered that something like this could happen in MY life. I know…
Laura--Thank you so much. It actually allows me to breathe a little easier knowing that people here will understand what I'm going through, even if it's in their own individual ways. I don't feel like anyone here will rush me along in my grief; curr…
First of all, it hasn't happened yet. Doctors said that any hour from now it could be the time. My father is at the hospital and I take care of my brother (food, school, etc). I can't sleep and I'm grieving like she's already gone. Other problems oc…
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack Nov. 2008. Its still hard. I'm still healing... or trying. I know about losing the center of your world. The one everything in your life revolves around. How every thought always…
Its horrible to lose the man you love. I can't imagine not getting the support from those you love because of certain circumstances. That must make it even more difficult. My husband was 38 and died of a heart attack and there was just nothing we co…
Looks like a lot of love in his eyes. It must have been really rough to watch him go through everything. Death can be a brutal thing to watch. Its hard to see someone you love suffer so. You saw something you never wanted to see. Its too bad everyon…
My husband of 27 years died at home on September 13, 2009 after a long illness. Illnesses actually. Six weeks later, our dog Brodie died. Broken heart, I think. God, I envy that.
My Mom had died on June 15, 2008. Three weeks before her death, our…

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell

For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

An interesting article just came in from the singer and songwriter Barbara Lewis, and I though it was so helpful to those coping with the loss of a loved one that I am reproducing it here: As a long-time performer - singer/songwriter - many events from my private life have appeared in songs. When my brother took his own life, and many years later, when my beloved husband of thirty years suddenly died, I brought...How to find the perfect funeral poem
Reading poems at a funeral can provide comfort to those who are suffering from the the loss of a loved one. Poets have the gift of being able to use words to give expression to the most sublime sentiments of the heart, and many of the most famous poets in history have used their talents to write about death and dying. Some poems about death can be dark, with emphasis on the misery of the...Losing my wife during child birth and looking after my 4 young children

I find writing this helps me through the heart ache and pain that I have suffered over the last 10 months. This is my story... I met my wife Denise while we were both travelling around the world.
