LOVE this song & video! It really does hurt and it's impossible to explain to someone if they have not ever had a parent die. Wishing you peace & happiness Tiffany!
I totally understand where your coming from hun and am going through the same thing...keeping you in my thoughts and hope to maybe talk soon.
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place,
he then looked down upon the
earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffer…
Hun you are in my prayers...im new to this as well and also it was by God's grace that I found this website as well. God bless and try and stay as strong as you can..remember to go to him when you are weak....
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.
There were so many things left unsaid that I wanted to say....I wish I could have told him so much and hope that he hears me...I miss him sooo much, this song sooo hits it on the spot
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

This is the poem that was in my dads funeral program it brings to me to tears of joy and sadness
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place,
he then looked down upon the
earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
and the hills wer hard to climb,
so he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered "Peace Be Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose,
but… Continue

I will never say goodbye to you my Father
cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend.

- Hi Tiffany-
I am so sorry I missed you on chat the other day.
How are you today? Hope you are well. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father. I understand completely the pain, isolation and loneliness you are feeling. I too have trouble even talking about any of this. I would much rather avoid everything but I feel I have come to a crisis point and that is why I reached out on this website.
I isolate myself also. I avoid my husband and daughter and spend A LOT of time in the bedroom alone. It is so hard to relate to anything or anybody. I sit in my room with the Memory Bear made from my fathers shirt and the blanket that my Mom always used hoping for some strength or answers or something.
It has caused tremendous strain on what was a strong, healthy marriage. I hurt that my 6-year-old daughter had to lose her Grandpa and Grandma all in one year. They were SO involved in her life.
I don't even know how to sort out the anger, pain, sadness, depression, fear, desperation etc etc...
A lot of time it is hard to express what I am feeling and I find myself just trying to remain numb and not feel at all.
I am here for you Tiffany....anytime.
I understand!

@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…

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 Light Beyond
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
