Joy left a comment for Madison Cornman"Dear Madison, I was so sorry to read about the loss of your mother. It's the hardest thing to lose a mom at any age, as I lost mine last year and I'm in my 40s and I'm still not recovered. I cannot even imagine what you and your…"
Joy left a comment for Jade Rogers"Hi Jade, I'm very sorry you lost your husband. If you go to Groups at the top of the page and click on that, there is a group called Lost My Spouse and I think you will find the folks there very supportive. It probably makes more sense to post…"
Joy left a comment for Frances Koonce"Thanks for your message Frances. I just saw it. I appreciate your kind words. God bless you. I don’t post on this site likebI did when my mom first died. It’s still hard adjusting to her not being here. Her death has helped…"
Joy replied to Xavier's discussion I Lost My Mother this Year on July 1st..."Xavier, your post touched me in a way that only another grieving person can understand. Our situations are very silmilar. I cried reading it because I can feel from your words how much you love her. I love my mama too. We were extremely…"
Joy replied to Xavier's discussion I Lost My Mother this Year on July 1st..."Hi Xavier, I’m so sorry you lost your mom. That to me is the worst pain In the world. My mama died last May and I’m not the same person either and will never be. Like you, only God has kept me going. If not for him, I would’ve…"
Joy left a comment for Crystal K"Hi Crystal, happy birthday. My birthday is also tomorrow and I also dream of my mom occasionally. I dreamed of her last night. She's been gone a little over a year and it's not gotten any better for me. I'm functioning, but I think of…"
Joy replied to Virginia G's discussion Griefshare support groups"I did attend a Griefshare support group. It's a mixture of group discussion and videos of people from different walks of life who have gone through the grief process. Overall, I would say that I'm glad I did it because I needed to openly…"
Joy commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Thanks Bluebell. My thoughts and prayers are with you too. My condolences to you and your sister on the recent loss of her husband/your brother-in-law. "
Joy commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I haven't posted on this site in a while, but since May 17, 2018 will be one year since my dear mom went home to be with the Lord, I thought I'd post a note to say how much I still miss and love her. Those words don't…"

I attended the first in 13 sessions tonight with a group of people from all walks of life. The meeting was very therapeutic. Of course when they had us introduce ourselves and talk about our losses, I broke down when I talked about losing my mom three days after Mother's Day. But it felt good to be part of a group where others understand your feelings and the trauma that you experienced. There were quite a few tears shed among the group but I'm happy that I was able to find a group close to…

Don't worry!
Since my mom died in May, I haven't been to church except maybe two weeks after she died and then the pain of her death was still so fresh (it still is, as it'll be 3 months since she died next Thursday), I couldn't stay for the whole service. I packed up my things and left. I felt completely alone, yet I did not want to be around anyone. I felt that if I stayed I would've just started bawling and wouldn't be able to stop.
Today, was the first time I've been to church in months and…

Paul said… - Joy, thanks for the kind words and prayers regarding the loss of my Kathy. My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to you for the pain of losing your mom. I definitely found comfort and understanding by being on this site. We are all in a situation we neither wanted or deserved. You are right about our loved ones not having to put up with the crap that seems to be getting worse everyday. My only wish is that I was with my wife either in this life or the hereafter.

Keleigh said… - Thank you for your kind words... My heart goes out to you and well. You are so right, it does feel like being orphaned. I don't feel like a daughter anymore so it's like a piece of me died with them. Watching mom did the Cheyenne strokes breathing was the worst. I called hospice at 4:30am when it started and she passed at 8:45. They arrived right after she passed. It really does make you fear so much. I'm scared for my children, completely over protective. Scared to lose anyone else. The fear is draining. I feel robbed most days... But I remind myself even though I only had them for 36 years I'm glad I at least had that. My daddy packed in enough love for 100 years but I still miss talking to him every day! I'm with you in grief. Feel free to chat any time!

M Adams commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"Have heard the same thing about men and loneliness, based on the assumption that women usually have richer and more developed social networks, a wider range of relationships, etc. Of course this isn’t true of all women, though it seems…"

Losing Someone to Cancer
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.See More
Michael Thompson commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"In my opinion as a Widower by 4 and a half years, men find dealing with being alone and loneliness harder than woman, this is what widows I meet tell me. I strive on a daily basis to at least be less anxious, but I miss my right arm in my…"
