Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
You were my best fellow, my first love. How am I going to navigate this world without your guidance and without being able to feel your arms around me or hear your laughter? It is a blue Christmas indeed without you.
The day you died there was a beautiful rainbow that stretched across the sky. I…
ContinueWhen Lily died I missed her with all my heart and soul; but I wasn't lonely. I still had my husband. Our conversations filled in some of the gaps in my life that being without Lily left behind.
Recently, however, I have been without my husband. I still have Summer and Riley to play with…

I am having a challenging time with a specific person in my life right now. Amidst all my preparation for Christmas I need to deal with this person who it feels wants to drag me down as low as he is feeling! I have been trying to focus on all the amazing support and love I have been receiving from my special friends here on this page (thank you again). I have been trying to not take it personally, to just feel sorry for him and the pain he is feeling but today it got the better of me and…

well,
Lost my job today. Don't really know what else to say. Maybe 6 months was too early to go back. Maybe I wasn't ready. I got to many disciplinary points for a person on new hire probation. I worked there for 2 months and 10 days, the shortest job I have ever had. I am depressed about losing my job, I feel like I was doing well, like I was a good employee.. but maybe I am not a good anything.
I was allowed 8 points.. I got 5 for missing a shift because my…

I guess this blog may seem out of order or confusing.. but I was here before. I was trying to be stronger than I am. I was trying to seize moment and embrace this community, and be supportive but it wasn't working out. So I took some time away and now I am back again...
Tonight I am feeling volatile, and bitter, hurt, angry, lost, depressed, hopeless and these are not typical "Mandy" feelings. I have always been an optimist, always believed in looking forward and…

I was in walmart and shopping,I was taken with a spell of depression in other words took me over uuncontrolable I fought it back.You think you can handle a loss but its not that easy.So here Iam in a empty house.Its ironic,because she never stayed home that much.So I spent part of the morning planting a fruit tree she bought, trying to figure out where to plant the other ones.

Sunday October 23, 2011 I was at work at around 1:45 pm when my phone popped up saying I had a facebook message from my neighbor Katie, the message was sent to me and my brother and said something along the lines of "I need one of you to call me asap it's kind of an emergency" I thought to myself maybe she was locked out or forgot to turn off the oven, or lock the doors.. worst case scenario I thought something was wrong with her house or her family. I called her to see what was going on and…

I heard humming upstairs,
like a moth against a screen.
I thought it was you;
I ran up towards the sound, a
pillow of warm expectations
clutched inside my pounding heart.
It was not you.
A fallen Christmas bulb
circled around wooden floors
singing in bright colors with
dancing, bouncing bells
I heard glasses of peppermint
martinis clink together,cheer in the
next room at a holiday…

I don't understand how some people can be so insensitive, like they were never taught to be considerate of the loss of life, to think about what they say or how it affects the person they're saying it to. Last week my 7 year old son's physical therapist asked me, "So is your summer getting back to normal?" I was stunned...uuuuh let's see here; my son DIED on June 20, 2011, he was 18! He's not ever coming home. He's never going to be a chef. He's never going to be a husband. He's never going…

What's to say when all is lost, when the words don't matter now
yet I find myself in constant need to spit them out somehow
struggling to convey to you although the moment's passed
to heed the words we spoke to you, but now the dye is cast
Days tick by, a silent count thrust upon my heart
one by one they pass me by, whisking me beyond and far
never leaving me time to breathe I beg time "slow down for me"
as though I had but whispered,…

Today just take 5 minutes at a time.
Today remember to breath.
Change is an adjustment.
Allow yourself time to process.
Write your feelings it helps.
Remember good memories, that make you smile.
Drink sleepy time teas to help you sleep.
Drink water to replace the tears you have cried.
Listen to nature, she can give you answers.
With love to you, Coach Louise …

Lets face it grief, as we know it is no fun. However if we change the meaning of grief, maybe we could change the feeling.
G- Stands for being grateful for our life and the time we have with our love ones living and the time we had with our love ones who have…

Life is getting easier, now that I've come to terms with the fact that I've still got one. My kids are coping, and I'm coping. We've started picking up the pieces by just bending over and doing it!
I've got school and employment in the pipeline, I've started repairing my credit so we can someday buy a house. I've started reinstating my authority with my children and acting as head of household. We have our bills paid, we have food in the kitchen, and we have lots of time in…

My husband and I were meant to be together. We knew the moment we met. We moved in together after two month's of dating, and married after two years of living together. We had one child together, and each had children from previous relationships, but we were all a family. I was so proud, am so proud, of my husband. He was the most intelligent man I'd ever known, next to my father. He was beautiful, charming, funny, an amazing father, and held a successful career. We had Sixteen fantastic…
