I finally pushed myself to go to my in-laws for dinner. It would only be them, us and my brother in law and his wife as well as two nephews. Basically small get together. We were the last to arrive.…

When we got the diagnosis for my mother, two of my sisters decided to move in with me (supposedlly to save money) before heading to Hawaii where my mother was living with my older sister. I immediately left for Hawaii to help out. During that time t…
everything I see, hear, smell reminds me of my mom. I see a woman on tv with the same hairstyle as my mom and I cry, a similar dress on a woman walking down the street. The smell of foods my mom liked. Everything will remind you. My mom's native lan…
You just go on day by day. Over four months I watched my mother dwindle away. Getting weake and weaker each day until she finally stopped eating and couldn't go on anymore. You just have to remember those special memories just you have. The ones onl…
I feel the same way about not feeling like you can talk to your family. While my husband is extremely supportive he just doesn't understand the feelings going on in my head. The memories of even little things. Every night I try to go to sleep, but t…
While I have never been graced with the ability to have children I understand some of what your sister in law is feeling. I look at people walking down the street pregnant and wish it was me. I get so jealous and it hurts to see family members pregn…
Tania, I agree that was completely rude. It is amazing how many people are so thoughtless. My brother was murdered and the first thing (more than one) asked was, was he in a gang? was it a drug deal? How ridiculous he was a 44 year old man, trying t…
Tania:
I know how you feel. The stupid things people say because they don't know what to say. It has been only 8 months since I lost my husband suddenly and my sister has been constantly telling me that life goes on and get over it. She has never fe…
It feels like I have no one to talk to in my family. I was the caretaker for my family since I don't work. Anytime I was needed I would fly or drive to be at their side. So when my mother got sick I was there in a heartbeat. I stayed for a month the…
Tania, I too have suffered many nasty heartless comments - (way too many) betting most on here have. That anger & pain you feel deep inside for those people tends to weigh on you like a 700 lb coat. In a way I feel sorry for people like that - "they…

- I know how you feel completely. My mom was diagnosed May15 and passed away July 22nd. I was with her the first month then had to return home for 6 weeks. I went back and 3 weeks later she was gone. While we did some talking we really just enjoyed each others company. Sometimes that's just what you need. I still go through my good and bad days. Though the goods are getting longer. Days like yesterday when I had to go through the last of her stuff was very hard. My mother wrote poems and journal ed all the time. It helped me gain even more insight into the person she was. I am even working on making a book of her writings and artwork that she did. I just look for things I know she would like me to do. I still have her in my heart.

- I am sorry for your loss. That first year is hard. My mom has been gone for 3 now, but the pain hasnt ceased. I know what it is like to have no one to turn to. I would love to chat sometime.

Diana said… - TANIA, I FOUND THAT I JUST ALLOW MY SELF TO SOB UNTIL IT HURTS. UNTIL CANT ANYMORE. ONE DAY I JUST STARTED SCREAMING. I JUST WANT TO GET IT ALL OUT. THIS SOMEHOW HELPS AND I PRAY IN TIME MAKES IT ALL EASIER TO ACCEPT. SOMEDAY ARE EASIER AND OTHERS I JUST START SOBBING. I THINK THIS IS ALL NORMAL FOR US. AND TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT YOUR MOM WOULD WANT YOU TO DO. AND TRY TO DO THAT. I CARE HONEY. NO EASY WAY FOR THIS EXCEPT RIGHT THROUGH.

Hi Jennifer, my son would have been 17 this Friday (March 19). I dread Friday, I also have to view his autopsy this week. So I am preparing myself for a major case of depression. I hope all works out for you and your family. God be with you during t…

I'm new to this group. I lost my mom three days ago and my heart is breaking. This was really a blessing for her as she was trapped in a body that no longer served her. Being bedridden for a year was so hard to watch. This once vital woman depenent…
I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.
Hi Deneene I just read your message. I lost my 16 year old son due to a drug overdose on Dec 26, 2009. I just wanted you to know that I understand what you mean about not realizing how bad it was until after. The what-ifs some days and nights just w…
I'm not doing well!!....I lost my fiancee in a car accident Oct.27 2009. Anyone that says it gets easier with time is wrong. It's getting harder and harder everyday. I feel like my life is over too. I can barely get out of bed and I've become physic…
I'm very sorry for your loss, It's hard to relate to friends when they dont understand or havent been through the same things you have. I'm 16 and lost my mother a week ago to a brain anuerysm, death is hard to face and deal with, i give my best to…

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.

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.

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

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.
