Thank you for your kind words. My emotions are still so raw as I lost my son only 8 weeks ago and since then have had to deal with my first Mother's Day without him as well as his 21st birthday. I look forward to the on-line support of others that are also dealing with a loss.
Thanks Diana. I have called around for some counseling places and I have to call them in just a little while for an appointment. I didn't think about hospice at all. They were wonderful here when my Daddy passed. Again thanks,
Thank you Diana for the information. I want to send him some info on the workshops I do. Hope you are having a great holiday weekend. All blessings on you.
Diane: Lou was just here-ate with us. He's handling his cancer DX better than I would. He's becoming more philosophical and keeping very busy-as he says-.."while I"m able." Turnout for hog roast birthday party & benefit was unbelievable! Raised $1600 which helped with meds. Good hearing from you. Hope Dan is well. Sandy
Great ideas. She's 26-years-old. I'll see if I can bring her to you all for you to wrap your arms around her. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Thank you for making me feel welcome. I'm actually looking for an online support group for my "2nd daughter" who lost her mother 3 months ago to lung cancer. She's so lost and I'm not sure how to help her. Battling active cancer myself and knowing her mother and watching her pass from this world, it's hard for me to not be emotional and I don't think that helps her. She doesn't feel anyone understands what she is going through. And no one does. How could they? She feels that when she wakes up and smiles - is happy - she then feels guilty for being that way. Are these common feelings? What can you all suggest to her? I'm not sure I can get her to a brick and mortar support group. Any ideas on how I can help her?
About photos--I actually don't. I'm trying to see if my brother has any, but I hadn't seen my dad in several years. Wasn't any animosity or anything, I was busy working on my degree and lived out of state, and we just always thought there would be more time, you know?
Thank you for all of your kind words and Im glad that I found this site as well...Im also sorry for your loss and good luck with your studies in grief counseling and thanatology...I once read in a book that the best way to find healing (argumentable of course) is to take what you have been givin and use it to help others or bring honor to the person that has passed...I know that you are helping so many and God bless you for all of your hard work!
Thank you Diana. For reaching out and for extending yourself to myself as well as others here. I am so sorry for your own loss of your brother James as well.
"Welcome to the group. I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too. Reading through your story really touched a chord with me. Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"
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
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
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
