I lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago.Everyday I miss her SO much. I just moved to NYC and I never imagined how lonely it can get. I guess all those thoughts I have repressed for three years are coming to the surface. It all just sucks. I have no fami…
I understand your struggle. Dealing with death isnt an easy part of life. I am sorry for ALL your losses.
I lost my mom 3 years ago to liver cancer. My dad hadnt been in my life since I was 7 and all my siblings were much older than me. I was the b…
I have had many different types of "communication" with my mom since she passed 3 years ago. As, I have been pulling out of depression, I noticed that she is here a lot less. Every once in a while now, especially when I am trying to fall asleep, I w…
If you have ANY questions, I will be more than happy to help in any way that I can. I dont have all the answers, if any, but I did pick up a few things over the years that have helped. I wish I had someone to talk to when my mom first died, someone…
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am 20 years old. I currently moved to New York City from southern California. I grew up there my whole life, up until a month ago. I have 5 older siblings that I rarely talk to and a dad who hasnt been interested in me or my life since i was 7 years old. Despite the bad, I still try to move on with my life. Every day I work hard at it. Only because I know, that as my angel, my mother helped me get through it.
- About my Loss:
- Two weeks after my 17th birthday, my mother was diagnosed with liver cancer. She never drank or smoked. She was a great mother whose time was running out. Doctors gaver her 4-6 months left to live, she passed in 2 months. December 2, 2006. My senior year of high school. Ive moved 7 times since then. Trying to find some sort of a place that felt like home. New York City is a place I have been wanting to live in since I was 14 and it sounded like a a good place and time to start a clean slate. Yet, even after 18 months of therapy, and 1 month in a new city. I still have a lot to work out. I miss her EVERY DAY.

sleep and dreams
One month ago I moved to New York City. I love it here! This is the place I have been dreaming about coming to since I was 14. I knew that just because I would be living in a different place, didnt mean that all my emotional problems would go away. I just didnt expect it to sneak up on me so soon. My mom has been dead for 3 years now, I did 18 months of therapy up till I left California, and I seriously thought I was in a better place. I still think I am in a better place, but different emotions… Continue

- Thanks for the comment. I don't have anyone to talk with either. I moved to Kentucky. I've been down here for almost 4 1/2 yrs. My Dad has never came to visit me. We talk on the phone maybe once a month. All of my family lives in Ohio. It just seems like they have forgot about me. I'm at a point in my life where something has to give. It feels like I'm going thru life in a daze. I can't keep this up. Once again thanks for your comment.

Amber said… - Hey Rochelle...Thanks for that comment. I will remember what you said. :-) I don't get on here much though... mostly because I forget my password. Of course, I know how you feel. Wouldn't be on here if I didn't understand the pain of loss....I read about how you lost your mother and am so sorry. I don't understand myself why things have to happen the way they do. I can only trust that both our mothers are in a place better than anything we could create in our minds.... If you want to talk or even call me, you can. I have texting.... 706-825-7212.....

- Hello Rochelle,
I can only imagine how hard it must feel for you to be 20 and to have already lost your Mom. My mom died on Nov. 22 at the age of 81, and I miss her dreadfully too. If you ever want to "talk" about things, feel free to communicate with me!
Much love and warm wishes to you,
Diane Lamas

@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…

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.

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. Telephone calls and email can take up a considerable amount of time. Take messages and give information to friends and family. 2. Volunteer...Badge
