"Rilke%20on%20sadness%20and%20solitude.html I came across this online today. I find some of my days are best spent in this kind of quiet, sometimes sad and painful, but reflective thought. The pain reminds me that I loved--and that I still love--and…"

Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.See More

Profile Information

About Me:
I am a former student of literature, now disabled esthetician.
About my Loss:
I lost my dearest friend in the world, one of the instructors at my MA program in grad school. We bonded over writing, books, and smoking on the steps on the English building. We didn't see each other for 13 years of our friendship but talked on the phone several times a day. I saw him when he died of a short struggle with cancer he was diagnosed with five months before. He shaped my world no matter how far we were part geographically. David was a born teacher: well-informed, a constant learner, and he read widely and deeply.
Our friendship consisted of more than our teacher-student relationship in the world of facts and fictions. We guided and taught one another about life itself, death and surviving, illness and madness, and how to find sanity, peace, and faith.

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
