About my Loss:
On July 11, 2009 I lost my Father to colon cancer and then recently on June 18, 2011 I lost my Mother to breast cancer. It has left me feeling totally lost. My siblings are not what I would describe as close to one another. Now I am feeling alone, lost, and kind of broken.

Hi Thomas.  I understand how you feel.  I lost my dad in December 2010 when an operation he had went wrong (and we then found out after he died that he also had pancreas cancer) and my mom died of a heart attack in September 2011.  I am not married and have no children.  I have a younger sister and we haven't been that close in the past but now we are all each other has and I hope we will be able to grow closer as time goes by.  I feel like a part of me has died.  I feel so alone even when there are people around me.  Nobody I talk to really understands how I feel, only once someone has experienced this will they know exactly how we feel.  I cannot begin to imagine how the rest of my life will be without my parents.  I hope time will heal our pain, but this time of year, with Christmas around the corner, it will be particularly hard to cope.

Dear Thomas,

I also lost my darling Mother - Nancy to cancer June 6, 2011. My 3 sisters are not what I would describe as healthy, loving sisters. I am so different from them. It's hard for me to understand their actions. I have been so blessed by the friends I have found on this site. I feel I am a true support system now. My mom was my everything. She was always there for me. I cry, I pray and I do the best I can to make it through each day. I feel empty and sad all the time. I will share with you that praying and putting yourself in Gods hands is what keeps me from truly being empty and alone. I miss mom constantly...she is always in my thoughts. I see her suffering from the radiation and cancer. That is hard to get out of your head isn't it? It's just me, my dog and 3 cats now living here in Florida. A sunny day goes without being notice these days...food is tasteless. I go to work...a nice distraction. But when I get home....just as lonely as can be knowing I cannot pick up the phone and call her...to make plans for the weekend. She was my weekend warrior at the shopping mall. Movies..dinners out. I understand your emptiness..we all do. We are adults...but still children. My dad left us when we were kids...he died 4 years ago we heard. I am here as your friend. Hugs Sue

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
