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.

- 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!

Well the benefit for Pete was Saturday night. I'm glad it was held but I'm also glad it's over. I was really dreading not being able to handle it. I did surprisingly well for almost three hours though. I only had to go outside for a "break" one time…

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
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
