It's been a year since my mom passed away and my nephew suddenly passed of a blood clot in his lung that traveled to his heart. He left 7 children from the age 24 to 5 years old...he and I were close like brother and sister. My mom raised him. I was only 5 years old when he was born. We spent many holidays together. Every Christmas Eve since his oldest was a baby, he had me and my husband over for dinner and movies with his kids, my great-nieces and nephews. We had so much fun. I miss my mom too. She loved us so much...I am trying to comfort his oldest kids...but it's tough because I'm sad myself. I want to do something in his honor so we can celebrate his life. It's really hard especially now around the holidays. My nephew and my mom loved Christmas! My dad passed away first in 2010. I miss him too. He always told me no one comes this way to stay...it's still hard when they leave though. Trying to keep it together...I will see them again one day...still healing, praying, and crying.
Thank you. Yes it can be overwhelming at times. I'm sorry for your loss too. My dad passed away in 2010. I don't think we ever get over it. I think we get through it. Some days are better than other days. I pray and ask God for strength every day sometimes all day. It's tough
Hi Felicia, I just joined the group. I am so sorry for your recent loss. Losing one family member is rough and I can only imagine that 2 would be unbearable. I pray that you find strength.

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
