I went to grief counseling yesterday. I was hoping for more out of it...but the one thing I did get out of it is this. This happened to my son for a reason.. He's dead for a reason which I may never understand...and now now when I ask that big quest…
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…
Yes i agree Lisa... I already said once in anger Why would God let her take up space on this earth and take my son who was a good person and a loving Father. I've had to take that back but the hurt can turn to anger really fast. At the funeral home…
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…
And not to mention that my son's wife has deleted me from his facebook and myspace page. Pure evil spewing from her fingertips. I'm trying hard not to let hate get into my heart. I'm praying for her.
My son died November 28, 2009. He was 37, and a diabetic. He has a daughter 10. Both were so important to me. His wife won't let me see my grandaughter or talk to her... she won't even answer the phone. So this means my grandaughter and I ware suffe…
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…
Your story is different to my present crisis. But at one time, I felt what you're feeling. After my Mom was gone, I was so empty I asked "What now." All of my time had been filled with caring for and loving her. Then she was gone. This great big hol…
My son died November 28th, autopsy results aren't back yet, Metabolic STudies is holding things up.. it takes so long to do those things. He was 37, my only child. I understand your grief....no words can make this better, for there are no magic word…

When it hurts the most
My son died November 28, 2009. He was 37, and a diabetic. He has a daughter 10. Both were so important to me. His wife won't let me see my grandaughter or talk to her... she won't even answer the phone. So this means my grandaughter and I are suffering and grieving two losses.
This past week I had a very rough day, I wanted to talk to my son so badly....so badly it was overpowering. All I could do was cry, sit with my mouth open with tears running down my face, weeping from the soul. Last night… Continue

- Laura, my son was my only child. I don't think the words have been written or created that would adequately describe the agony in the soul, the huge loss felt. I think only Jesus Christ could possible understand or another who has felt the same.

- Ganny, there are no words to express my condolences on the loss of your son. My 33 year old daughter (and only child) died on May 25, 2009 and I can find no words to describe the pain and loneliness caused by her death. I too felt I could not go on...how does a mother continue living after the death of a child? I have found grieving to be very painful and confusing. We all grieve differently and in our own time. I also keep a journal and during this first few months found myself writing in it daily...I don't write so much these days. The members on this website have provided friendship and guidance as we all share the bond of grief.
Take care and let us know how you are doing.
Laura

@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…

Thank you for your words....I try everyday to forgive myself and I also tell myself not to feel guilty, but it goes back to "I should of been there".

I am creating this site for the many of us who have suffered several losses. I lost my mom, dad, grandma(2nd mom), grandpa, my beloved dog and divorce.
Many of us have lost more than one person or event.
Come share!

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

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.
