"Update: I got the tattoo this year.
I did it during Friday the 13th for $13 tattoos with about a hundred other college kids. I waited eleven hours in line, pondering what I wanted to get. I had so many beach related, cancer-related, and other…"

Hello everyone. I just lost my dad, not even two weeks ago, and I feel like I can't breathe. He was my favorite person in the world and I sometimes question if I can even function without him. Other…Continue

"Liv,
I am so truly sorry that your person has walked the Rainbow Bridge. I still experience a similar hurt from my situation, 30+ years later, even after finding ‘the next’ person. I am reaching the point of being…"
"Today is a terrible day. Today marks
a year and a half
eighteen months
seventy-eight weeks
five hundred and forty-six days
since my dad has passed.
It's been even longer than that since I last spoke to him. Even longer since I last saw him in…"
"One week from today, it will have been 18 months since my dad was alive. That statement seems unfathomable, but it's true. Honestly, it feels like an eternity.
I am beginning to forget what it felt like to have him in my life, to be around him,…"
"I’m sorry Liv. I’m sorry your in pain. The love I feel reading your post brought tears. I lost my sister 5 months ago. She was only 54. She was more like a mother to me. I feel exactly the same way. I was able to be with her , I brought…"
"Today I was reminded of a few things.
I was reminded that my dad was a great person. The best person I know.
He gave money to family and friends in need. He donated cash and meals to people begging on the street. After his last round of radiation,…"
"Hi everyone,
I know that I haven't posted in a while. And, maybe you thought that it meant that I was doing well. Well unfortunately, that is not true. Since around the weekend before the one-year anniversary of my father's passing,…"
"Hi Liv,
Movies/TV are a trigger for me as well. I was watching a comedy show recently and the comedian was talking about taking their mother off life support and I began to get anxious and realized why. Toward the end of my mom's life I was…"
"Hi everyone,
So, I'd like to tell you all a story today. About two years ago, a movie came out in theaters: Escape Room. I, who had recently been enjoying my fair share of scary movies and thrillers, was really looking forward to going to see…"
"Picture your favorite hug in the world. The one that you could stay in forever, and always feel so safe and warm. The one that can hold you and tell you that everything is going to be okay, and you might even get to believe that for a minute. For…"
"Hi everyone,
A year ago today was Father's Day. I know that it was technically yesterday, and that yesterday was difficult on it's own too, but I still can't help but to think about my last Father's Day with my dad today…"
"I'm sorry, Liv. You're right it's not fair. Your dad should be there celebrating with you. I'm sorry he's not. <3"
"Hello everyone. Today is my dad's birthday. He would be turning sixty-two.
Being in his sixties, and having a teenager is a little uncommon, and with having a stage four cancer on top of that, there was always the semi-unspoken want for…"
"Hi everyone.
I took my last final yesterday. It is officially summer for me. It is also my first summer without my dad. Summer is such a broad term for some people. For most kids, it meant no school, but for me, it meant more fun times with my dad.…"

"Just so you know...
I can't stop grieving just because you believe it is time for me to move on.
I can't stop hurting just because you do not understand the piercing pain in my heart.
I cannot stop my tears from flowing just because they make you uncomfortable.
My heart is not suddenly mended just because you believe that I have grieved long enough.
I will grieve the loss of my loved one for the rest of my life.
Just so you know."

Hi Liv. Thank you. Your comment really helped and I feel like even though the relationships we had were different we had a lot in common. The person I loved passed away from cancer too and because of Covid we never got to spend anytime together and I really feel like I missed so much because I couldn't be with him. It is hard to lose someone and each day my emotions seem to be everywhere.

Hi Liv - I joined this forum two years ago after losing my brother to cancer. I haven't visited the site much since, but I randomly got an e-mail notification about your post that brought me here. I am very sorry to hear about your dad. That sounds like a truly painful experience. Please know that you are not alone in your grief, and you're welcome to message me if you ever want to chat. Take care <3

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
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
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
