Just some spammer/scammer....I cannot believe they would try to scam this group of people...they probably get paid for everyone who clicks on their link.

I have done just that.  Who is this person ?

If you want to block a certain person (I have gotten over 100 spam messages today) all you need to do is login, hit their name to look at their profile and on the left there is a button to block messages from that person. It works well!

How do I cope with losing someone again.it's nearly 6yrs since my aunt died.of bowel cancer & since then have lost 4 more family members then last week was just told my father in law has advanced cancer,my mother-in-law in pushing our family out of it and has only just agreed to us taking his 4 grandchildren to see him,but my husband feels like his mumis pushing him out as he isn't his dad's biological son. She said we were not allowed to see him today as.he.gets to tiered but found out today she has her.son and 2 children staying over tonight and her other son his partner and 2 young children all round today. Then she had a go at us for telling our 3teenage children that there grandfather has cancer,something sadly for my children have already experienced to any times already in their young lives. My husband is taking this really bad & I'm really struggling.to hold it together for my children and am already been treated for depression

My name is Alexis Zarycki and I want to share with you all some news. In February of 2015 I lost my mother at the age of 21 years old to a three year battle of stomach cancer.

My mother was well-liked within our community, among both family and friends. She was only 51 years old when she passed; I being only 21 years old now left to live without a mom. 

After my mother’s passing, our family was a mess. We actually are still a mess, just a cleaner one. However, after the screaming, crying, and distraught; we all decided to do something in order to share our mothers live with others. Share her story and life with the world. So my father wrote a book. And we helped him. My mother’s story is empowering, important, and tells the story of a person’s battle with cancer. The book, which you can find more detailed information online is entitled, "Stairways- A True Story of Love, Life, and Death."

I wanted to share this news with you all because we all know how it feels. To be without a mom. To have to face each day forced to accept the fact you cant hug, kiss, smell and feel your mother next to you. hear her voice: nothing.

I think what my father is doing is inspiring. I really do. My father didn’t write this book for anything else but to remember and honor my mother’s life. He did it out of love, out of grief, to give people an outlet they could relate to.  Cancer and sickness affects so many lives today, and my father wanted people to see that. He  is such an amazing man. Truly he is. I am being contacted by many individuals about how inspiring and influential his book and I know in the bottom of my heart I know my mother is proud of him as well as myself, brother and the rest of our family and friends. My father’s book is not only a story about love and loss, but it is also a self-help book. It shares our mother’s story and my father’s journey as a caregiver while also teaching people ways to deal with stress, anger, and sadness.

 

So with that, I thank you for giving me the time of day and letting me share this news with you. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the book or our story. Together we can all fight cancer and put an end to sickness. We just need to share one story at a time.

 

Thanks again and have a blessed day.

Michael,,Thanks for your post and the question.  I am a firm believer in God and know He was there by my side all the time my husband suffered, but he did not suffer like Jesus did when he was crucified and nailed to the cross.,  It was time for my husband to go home and there was no more pain, confusion, medicines for him. He found peace and contentment at his new place to live.  Know we will re-unite one glad day when I take my journey to Heaven....God be with you, as the days pass for you , in your loss of your wife.........

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
