- Laura and Susan,
Thank you ever so much for your concern... I'm struggling so hard and with custody issues I'm almost at the edge of what I can handle... My faith has gotten me through so much diversity in my life and has held me together through these dark dark days... My thoughts and prayers are with you both... May the comfort of the Lord embrace you and yours as we all walk down unfamilar roads...
love in Christ,
Michael
Yes, It's my grandson... His name is Brett Joesph Baker...

- Michael, my heart goes out to you...I have found there are no words to describe the pain and agony of losing a child. Its as if an invisible hand has reached into the depths of my belly and so visciously yanked out the very essence of my life. I exist but I do not live...be kind to yourself and take care. My personal mantra is one day, one hour, one minute, one second, one breath at a time...we all grieve differently and there is no "right" way to grieve.
Thank you for posting the photo of your daughter...she is beautiful. Is that your grandson with her?
Sincerely,
Laura

At the age of 61, my husband passed away on January 22, 2010 from complications of esophageal cancer. I say that because the first 28 radiation treatments he got in 2008 got rid of the esophageal cancer but he had a reoccurance on the area between h…

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!
Well the benefit for Pete was Saturday night. I'm glad it was held but I'm also glad it's over. I was really dreading not being able to handle it. I did surprisingly well for almost three hours though. I only had to go outside for a "break" one time…

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
And let me take your hand.

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

Living your life backwards
Ben's first duty as a new pastor was to conduct a funeral service for Albert, a man who had died in his eighties. Since he didn't know the deceased, he invited members of the congregation to say a few kind words about Albert. No one budged. "Many of you knew Albert for years," Ben prompted them. "Surely someone can say something nice." After an uncomfortable pause, a voice from the back of the room said,...Bereavement Overload - Coping With Multiple Losses
How can anyone cope with the death of more than one family member when those deaths occur in a short period of time? What happens to the person who is grieving the death of a loved one, then loses a job, and has to move from their home or apartment because of financial conditions? Multiple losses occur more frequently than most people realize and they can complicate the mourning process. To begin with, it is...7 powerful ways to deal with grief
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
