Not Only Dealing With My Grief

I lost my dad on June 11, 2009. He died one day before his 72nd birthday. He drove to the hospital for surgery to remove a possible cancerous spot on his kidney and while they were operating had a massive stoke and never really woke up. I am really having a hard time dealing with the loss of my dad. We are a very close family and I spoke to or saw my dad every day. Not only am I trying to figure out how to deal with my grief I am trying to help my daughter who is 6 and my 2 1/2 year old son.… Continue

Another worry

Worried tonight. Husband went to specialist and news isn’t great. Doctor thinks he has a fatty liver. They are doing tons of blood work to find out why but doctor mentioned several reasons and none of them good. He is also scheduled for a liver biopsy to see how far the disease has progressed. Will I end up losing him like we did our daughter? Did the cancer come back? God how scared I am.

Sharing Seems to Help

Hello Everyone!



I have been riding the "emotional" roller coaster of grief since May 25, 2009 when my daughter, Angela, was killed in a tragic 4 wheeler accident. She was only 33 years old. The accident occured in North Pole, AK. where she lived with her husband. I live in San Antonio, TX which is our home town.



We were so close as far as mother/daughter relationships go. We called, texted, or emailed each other daily, sometimes several times a day. She was so happy...she… Continue

New to Group

You know its so hard to imagine going through this alone. Finding groups like this are so very helpful. I am thankful that I found it last night. It was by the grace of God that helped me find it. Please know that life for me is crazy. I feel most days like I can't go on. My daughter lost her battle with AML leukemia on May 21, 2009. Each day is such a struggle.



Love and prayers,



Michelle… Continue

SOMETIMES I THINK NO ONE KNOWS

Sometimes I think no one know the pain I feel. The tears are real, I feel so lost sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I can't rise above the pain. His photographs are placed in every room in the house. I know he is my angel, I would give anything for one more minute with him. I tell myself to be thankful he is out of the pain that the CANCER caused..... I thank God is was started in stage 4 and ended 4 months later. My pain is nothing compared to the pain he had to go through...

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...

New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission.  This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions.  Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront.  Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there.  Not…See More

Speed Weasel commented on Dottie's status
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times?  I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."

Speed Weasel replied to Mabel Murphy's discussion My husband passed away
"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments.  On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"

My husband passed away

My husband passed away last Saturday after a long illness. His memorial service is next week. We have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 6. I'm glad I found this place. It seems to be a place of great caring and support. I actually registered here a while before my husband's passing, as I was grieving for his loss after he entered a nursing home. He had been there since the end of 2008, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease in 2006 and deteriorating quickly. He was only 58 when…See More
