Maybe,
the people we still need have something more to do....
I am a non believer, but it seems that what ever we do, under all the different circumstances, we are trying to make sense of something that should be different.
None of us should be h…
Ken,
I am so sorry that all of you are experiencing such pain. A sudden and unexpected loss is a shock. I don't understandwhy it happens either and no one has given me a good enough answer as to why this should happen to us. My partner died suddenl…
Anita,
There is so much you do not say about yourself! Well, actually you do. You had an operation that has changed your life along side of a loss that has also changed your life.
I wonder who is looking after you now.
Life is strange, unexpected…
I know what you are saying. Almost nine months and it feels like a dream.
Everyone treats you like you are supposed to be over it.
Fridays are my worst day.
I have a friend who texts every Friday saying thank God it is Friday . She is getting bored…
Rodan,
Not sure if you are getting this message.
But all of us have to keep going on...choose it or not. The best we have right now is helping each other.
Your not allowed to go. I am great with bills and budgets but crap with cars and mechanics.…
Anita,
You don't have to say anything until you are ready. I am sorry for you about the tragic loss of your son. It would be very difficult to find words to describe how you are feeling. Hello is a good first step and even though we can not take the…
Rodan,
Better is not a word I would use. Changing, challenged, questioning and grieving...yes.
I have to remember that life is a precious gift. You know that more when it is taken. So we still have a gift, even though on some days it feels like a…
Rodan,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is a lonely and painful experience to lose the love of your life.
I hope you have moments where the pain is slightly manageable.
I lost my partner eight months ago. It was never an experience that I thought I w…
Monica,
Nothing you said was boring. And if I had known it was Thursday night I would have sent you more than a hug! Dave cooked some 'interesting' meals. But I always remembered that the magic ingredient was love even whilst marvelling at his very…
Ho Monica,
Yes! My reply was for you. Shows where my head is at!!!
I found my lovely man collapsed and had to do CPR and it was too late. We still don't have the coroners report but heart attack or something.
When I first met Dave it was as if we…
Sheryl,
Your story is so similar to mine. I was with my Dave for just over two years. He was a big cuddly bear with a rumbling cheeky laugh and wicked sense of humour. I have never loved andy one or felt so loved by any one in my life. He died sudd…

- About Me:
- I have two grown up children. My son at home and my daughter in Melbourne. I have two dogs and three cats (some are mine and some are my partners) .
- About my Loss:
- My partner died suddenly on the 25th September 2009. I found him and had to do CPR but he had probably been dead for a while. The coroners report is still not back as yet but it is not going to bring him back any way. He was my best friend and soul mate.

- It's nearly been 4 months since all this happened :(. It's unbelievable it has been that long, still feels like September to me. I definately know what you mean about wondering if your heart will ever heal again. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone, but cant imagine spending it with anyone else. A few months ago I was talking to a lady who lost her parnter unexpectedly and 6 years on she has meet a new man who she wants to marry, she was an inspiration but I can't help but think that it's not going to be the same for me. My email address is lizbug_25@hotmail, if you would like to email me through that

Dear Connie: My heart goes out to you. I lost my Daddy May 7, 2010, just 8 weeks after my younger brother died unexpectedly. My Daddy & I also had some bumps in our relationship through the years. He was 84 years old, but I wasn't ready yet. I won't…
It's only been 2 weeks for me so I may not be going about this in the "right" way but if it is just a cashier or waitress or somone I dont know and will probably never see again I just say "Fine.. thank you". because I dont know them and if I try to…
Dear Connie, what you are feeling is typical. you are covered in grief and a million thoughts and emotions are drowning you. You don't know what end is up and total confusion is normal. I was in the same boat, my father passed away March 4 unexpecte…
Hello Everyone, I just found and joined this website earlier tonight in the middle of a bad crying spell that went on most of this afternoon. My father passed away a month ago yesterday from a heart attack. He went into the bedroom to change into…
For everyone that has lost their Dad.

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
