- About my Loss:
- I lost my dad to cancer May 4 1983, 30 years this weekend. I've had this ache in my life since, I never found nor accepted closure.
You see, I was 19, I had spoke to dad a few days before, nothing seemed to be wrong. Then I got the call that he was gone. Cancer. He never told his kids. Only his common law wife and her son knew. As it turned out, dad had only found out himself a few months earlier that he had a very aggresive form of cancer.
I spent years being angry and hurt, for the loss, for him not telling me and everything else that goes with death.
I now finally realize he only wanted to live his last days in the best possible way, and not with people coddling him (that was not in his nature).
Now coming up on 30 years, I've been feeling like he has been talking to me, telling me that it is time to let go, find the closure. It's like he has been telling me that he hasn't been able to rest, because I haven't let go.
I am finally ready. It's going to be like losing him all over again, but I need to do this for him and I.

Closure after 30 yearsd
On May 4th of this year, it was the 30th anniversary of my dad's passing. I lost him when I was a rebellious, vulnerable individual, lost somewhere between child and adulthood. He'd been sick with a very aggressive form of cancer. He did not tell me. When I look back now, the signs were there, but he did put on a good front. I can't imagine what his wife went through, knowing this, but not letting on to his kids.
I remember going to my apartment and a neighbor saying that the…

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
