The coldness of some people

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.…

My hubby wants to go visit my father for Thanksgiving, but my dad has Parkinson's and well I just can't deal with that just yet. Though I do talk on the phone with him I can't see his physical weakne…

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…
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 hear that a lot... "get over it" The people who say this have obviously not gone through what we all have. A death whether sudden or over time is not something you can just get over. It doesn't matter if you knew them 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, or yo…

- 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.

@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".

Greetings Amanda. Some people just dont realize how insensitive there comments are. I dont think they delibrately want to hurt us, they dont think before they speak. He who feels it, knows it. I had a parent from one of my children's class ask me if…

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
