You did tell her, you tell her everyday and she can hear you. Michelle, she is always with you. Keep talking to her. I am sorry for your loss. I lost my sister just over two years ago and I have to say, it's barely getting better. But it is and I kn…
How much longer is this pain going to last? It has been 28 days and I still have the same pain as I did when I first got the news of my Sister dying. She passed away on New Year's Eve from an accidental drug overdose and she was 35 years old. I am g…
I am feeling really bad today for my Father and my Older Sister for going in and seeing Mindy when she died at her house. They think she was down for 10-12 hours before they found her. I wish they would not have went in to see her and have that visi…
Not having a good day today. I have been feeling really sad and angry today. When I was working I felt like I was walking around in a fog. My memory is horrible and I keep worrying about my nieces who are having a really rough time as well. I am so…
My heart goes out to you Michelle as you traverse this long road. I am so sorry for you and your family to hear about your sister, Mindy. My son, Jeremy also had a long history of drug abuse since high school which ultimately took his life on this T…

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am 38 years old a mother of one and step mother of 2. I am a Nurse and I have one older sister and had one younger sister. I live in Florida and the rest of my family live in PA. I am married to a wonderful man that supports me in everything. I am a very lucky person to have such an amazing Husband.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my baby Sister, Mindy on New Year's Eve 09. This is the hardest thing I have ever been through. She left behind 13 year old twin girls and a family who loves her so much. She had an addiction to drugs and she laid down and went to sleep and did not wake back up. It was sudden and we did not know she had relapsed. Mindy was 35 years old. I miss her so much and I am so sad. I feel like I have a big hole in me and part of me died too. I don't understand why people around me can't understand how I feel or what I am going through. I have lost my Grand Parents and that was hard, but this is different. The pain is so deep and hurts so much!

In memory of my Sister, Mindy who passed away on New Year's Eve '09 from a drug overdose
I have never made a blog before so I am not sure what to do, but it seems that I am doing a lot of "first things" lately. My head still feels foggy and I still feel a sense of disbelief about my Baby Sister. She was only 35 years old and has 13 year old twin girls. My family is so torn and hurt so much. It feels like there is a big hole in my heart now. I just want this pain to stop. My baby Sister started experimenting with drugs when she was very young. We have tried to help her so many times… Continue

@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…

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.
