It has been 4 years and I still miss my husband every hour of everyday.

Katherine, your mom sounds just like mine.  I thought I was the only one who had a mom that loved you for who you are because the people I know never truly understood me but her.  You brought back memories as though mu mom was here with me right now.

I truly hate what cancer did to my beautiful wife, no one should ever have to go through that, cancer has stolen a precious gift from all of us. the pain I have isn't going anywhere, I really hate myself for not being able to do more, I tried my best but it was too strong, I remember trying to just get her to eat but she just couldn't, it would be a battle everyday to get her to eat or at least drink an Ensure. I didn't understand what she was going through, I just wanted her to eat and get stronger and come back to me. I just love and miss her so very much. I feel like I missed the flight she was on and got left behind. God knows I wanna get a flight to where she is right now but I gotta be here for our kids. My heart is broken never to be repaired again until I join my beautiful wife again.

Hi Sherry,

I am so sorry for all your losses, this year I lost a nephew to bone cancer (48) and sister-in-law breast cancer (58), I also lost my dear Husband 4 years ago. Life has changed for me for the worse, Everyone I love is dying. My friend just lost her sister this week. I know death is a part of life but I can't wait until my time comes to be united with them.

God Bless You, Linda

Hi, I recently stumbled on this site,,, my dad died 5 years ago, from pancreatic cancer,, poor guy went through major surgery, the whipple, only to find out they didn't get it all. Radiation, chemo gave him six months before he died. One year later, my younger brother was dx with stage 4 biliary cancer. He put up a good fight, no surgery, only chemo, which was the only thing keeping him with us, until he couldn't do it anymore. He fought hard for a year and a half, he died leaving behind his wife and10yo son. It was terrible sing my dad, but watching my brother die, was unthinkable. All I can say is, it was like having a front row seat to pain and suffering. My world changed,  and that person I use to be before they were diagnosed, she died too. Oh, and my mother died 1 year after my brother, not cancer, but COPD, it was so painful watching her suffer after the loss of my dad, then my brother. I still feel numb, sometimes it feels like a bad dream. Well, I guess this is a safe place to talk about losing the people you love, Thanks!

I lost to many people to cancer , the hardest one for me was my dad 10 years ago he passed away from brain cancer , the Christmas holidays are never the same anymore without our love ones that we lost ...

I honestly just want to be with my beautiful wife right now, I honestly and truly hate the holidays right now. I used to look forward to them, being with my wife and helping her cook. I remember her stealing some of the cookies I just made and she'd give herself away by laughing. Now she's gone and I'm alone. I honestly believe that it's so cruel to be left behind after my wife passed. I would've been so happy to leave the same way they left on "The Notebook" cause any other way is just suffering.

Here I go again. Go to bed at night with a bit of a better outlook on things - try to plan to do something useful the next day.  The morning comes and I'm like "what was I thinking"? I'm on my second vehicle since my husband passed. I put 32,000 miles on the first one in 12 months trying to run away from my feelings.  I traded it in and got this one 1 week ago w/42 miles on it. I now have about 500 and I'm getting ready to run again.  I tend to get worse if I have doctor appts. to face and I have 2 this week.  How I wish I could feel "normal" again. This pain is life changing and I never did take change well.  God bless you all.  I hope your fairing better than I am today.

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
