We think, say, and do things in our grief that would have never been considered before the passing of a loved one. Just this morning I told God not to F___ with me today! Whoa, I never would have said that before my daughter's passing but right now…
Thanks so much. Our Fundraising just closed for this yr but normally opens back up in November. Anywho. I truely found this week that when you lose someone that close its hard to handle things in life. Yesterday I found out that I have precancerous…

Krystal, don't beat yourself up because your mom is gone. You did everything right. You are a good daughter! Strong has nothing to do with this...you are a daughter grieving the loss of her mother. Look how far you've come since then. I honestly bel…
Hello again, Krystal. My words were not only meant to be kind but they were genuinely heartfelt. I feel so lost without my daughter and yet at the same time she is right next to me. Her presence is so strong and I continually feel her love surroundi…
I do beleive she is in a happier place and I to will be running to her full speed when I'm called home. My anger doesn't root from her actually leaving. I'm not mad at her but angry that she was dealt this hand. She gave everything she could to othe…
Time does help you to cope. Grief is not something that you get over. You learn to go on. Think about the blessing that you had w/such a wonderful mother. You will learn to remember the good times and be able to smile. You will always have good days…
Laura, I am so sorry for your loss. My Mom and I were the same way. I had moved out when I was 19 and lived on my own but we talked Every single day. Luckily for me I didn't move to far away. I was only 10 mins away so we had saturday movie nights a…
Krystal:
I am sorry for your loss. My mother transitioned 5 1/2 years ago. I talk with her. I still cry. I miss her enormously and there are certain events or times in my life whe it is my natural inclination to pick up the phone and call her and t…

I think you need a lot of (((((hugs))))). You may want to post pics of your mom. It also helps to vent, and it is safe to do that here.

@Mel &@Courtney - thx for the support. It helps coming here & reading posts by you all & others. It helps to know that I am not alone!
My brother died March 9, 2010. He was a big NASCAR fan. One Sunday a few weeks after he died, I was in bed and had been dozing off and on. The TV was on a channel that plays "whodunit" shows all day. I got up and went in to my office for a little wh…
My daughter, Lyndsey died on July 18, 2010 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. She was 27 years old and left behind two children. In a blink of an eye, our world was turned upside down. I'm thankful that it was fast and she didn't linge…

Many of us have lost more than one person or event.

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

The Gift That Freed Me To Give
A significant lesson for me has been understanding and accepting that our greatest gains often come through experiences in our lives that may be extremely painful. My father, Raphel Orval Beason, died less than four months before I was born at the age of 19 in an explosion at the Port Chicago U.S. Navy arsenal near Oakland, Calif. He was among 320 men killed on July 17, 1944, when two merchant ships blew next to...The loss of a son
Mother's Day will always be the anniversary of my son's death, no matter what date it falls on. May 9, 2010, the day I lost a piece of my heart. I have vivid memories of that day but they are brief glimpses only. He called that morning to tell me Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I remember being 250 miles away from my home, my other child and my family. I don't know...Try tapping, it works wonders...
I don't often recommend specific methods to help with grief. But the self-help method I'm going to tell you about - EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques - is well worth making an exception for. Basically, it involves tapping on the acupuncture points to tap into your body's own energy and healing power. If you think that sounds a little far-fetched and woo-woo, so did I. In fact, I starting doing EFT on myself for chronic...Daughter of Suicide
It has been 22 and a half years since my mother’s suicide in October 1987. I look at that number – 22 – and it startles me. It’s hard to believe that I have lived more of my life without my mother, than with her. During those first 10 years after her death I carried the heavy load of her suicide every waking moment. I struggled with my own depression and feelings of abandonment and...8 practical ways to help a grieving family
When a friend or family member experiences the death of a loved one, we quickly offer our condolences and help. Listed here are eight practical suggestions for helping a friend or family member that has just suffered a loss. 1. Offer to answer the telephone or answer emails at the family's home.
