I hate the days where i cant move or think. I plan on doing all these things and wake up, just to find myself numb. I think something has happened to my mind. I have to talk to him somehow. I have to know what killed him. He died in his sleep on his…
What ever you do dont stop trying to contact your granddaughter. Stop by their house when you know she is there. send her flowers when you know she is home,make sure they are delivered on time, make sure a big card is facing them when they arrive wi…
I feel for you. Oh God how i feel for you. My sons wife has made me feel so terrible. She let me know that my name was not on anything and her name was the only name on everything and i could not do anything. I told her my name was on his birth cert…
I know what you mean when it comes to the wife part. How can a woman be so cold and have no heart. I guess the wifes of our sons dont like the husbands mothers. My daughter in law seemed to try to hurt me more after my sons death, My son died On Nov…
My son died November 28th, 2009.. he was 37. Because he was 37 didn't stop me from loving him as if he was my baby because that's what he was to me, my child, my son, my baby. No matter how old, how big, or where he went in life, to me he was my bab…

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Im a mother.
- About my Loss:
- so many unanswered experiences. So many thoughts. The emptiness. The searching. Learning to walk without. The all over pain within of not being able to touch,protect.kiss.guide,and to hold my son. The memories are not enough. I cant figure out what i must have done to deserve this kind of torment and pain that i will have as long as i live. The river of tears that come from nowhere that just stream down my face. Out of the blue numbness.

I hate the days where i cant move or think. I plan on doing all these things and wake up, just to find myself numb. I think something has happened to my mind. I have to talk to him somehow. I have to know what killed him. He died in his sleep on his little boys 2cd birthday. All i know is he coughed at 8 am and was dead at 9 am. I have to know. I want him to tell me.

The loss of my son, and feeling like i dont belong
14 mo after the death of my son, and i feel like i dont belong, Im in a different place than others around me. Things that used to hurt dont hurt. People seem different to me. When im driving in my car things are just gray. I hear people talk about relationships breaking up, and the cat dying ect... and how it is breaking their heart. I thought i have experienced the worst of the worst when it came to pain and heartache. When you lose a child you spend the rest of your life in torment, and pain.… Continue

- Lisa, my heart goes out to you. My 33 year old daughter (and only child) was killed in an accident a little over 7 months ago. Like you I feel so isolated and so alone. Everyone else has gone on with their lives and I feel like I'm in the same place I was the day I got the phone call. I feel empty, numb...like I have been stripped of all emotions. And I feel so tired; just wanting to get through each day so that when the day is over I am one day closer to seeing her again. Within this website you will find you are not alone; so many mothers here grieving the loss of their child. Take care and let us know how you are doing.
Laura

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.
