I started this group for Orphaned adults, adults who have lost both parents. I always thought as we got older and lost our folks it would hurt less, why i do not know. I know since losing my mom on...

Comment by Steven K Frank on September 29, 2009 at 11:35pm - I lost my dad in '04 and my mom nine months later. It's a very awkward situation. I know they would want me to be strong and do well, but it's insanely hard (and getting harder) to deal with the fact that my mom will never smile at me again and tell me its okay, and my dad won't ever show me another thing about working on something.

Comment by Julie Marie Weiss on September 16, 2009 at 10:44pm - I am sure that I am not the only one that feels like this. My friends try to understand but since they have not lost both their parents. Like i have said I did not realize how much it would hurt losing both my parents. Especially my mom, i realize how much she supported and loved me!

I finally pushed myself to go to my in-laws for dinner. It would only be them, us and my brother in law and his wife as well as two nephews. Basically small get together. We were the last to arrive. The house is small with a couch, recliner and a ...
Thanks Gail
Karen - I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time today but quite understand how you feel. And yes, we do these 'festive' things for our families and friends but sometimes we need to do something for US the way we feel we want to do it. If that...
Dear Cindy,
Oh my! I guess I don't believe that God causes storms just so we can weather them. That would mean that God created my daughter and then made her die just to see if I could "weather the storm." Perhaps that's the way one pastor explain...
I set here alone on a holiday I use to enjoy (thanksgiving) I just couldnt find the strength to put on that fake face I needed to to go be with hubbys & my family. They are all caring people I love - I just struggle to be - let alone be around peo...
Thanksgiving (U.S.)
Thanks to you all for being here. I needed a little quiet time before putting on my "happy holiday face" so I checked the site this morning. The comments by Gail, Katherine, Karen and Wendy were very much appreciated. I too wan...
"Hugs Love & Strength to all of you"
Thank you, Diana.
I hear that a lot... "get over it" The people who say this have obviously not gone through what we all have. A death whether sudden or over time is not something you can just get over. It doesn't matter if you knew them 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, or ...
my mom and i are having a hard time with the holidays coming up we are taking dinner to a friends house because she just moved and doesnt know were everything is so we are taking food to them but it wont be the same with out grandma there she has ...
So beautiful
i just lost my grandma who i have lived with for the last year and was really close and i am really missing her its really hard right now because of the holidays coming up
Stephanie, I know how you feel. It's such a sad story. I grew up listening to michael. We were only about a month apart in age. It seems to me he was so troubled and had no one that really understood him. Maybe he has found peace. I certainly woul...
Wishing you all the comfort and support we all will need, May we all cry alot, love alot, and eat little.. :),
Hello. It's just before Thanksgiving. I'm still bent out of shape about Michael. Yesterday was a particularly bad day. I may not be in the right forum for something such as this as I may be less in a grieving place and more in an obsession. I NEVE...

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell

It’s a unique feeling, when it finally dawns on you that someone who has been a part of your life for such a long time is no longer there. It’s a sickening realisation that stops you in your tracks. In your mind you can visualise the person, smiling, talking, living, but when the vision fades you realise that this is now your only connection to them. Through memories, photographs, anecdotes and, on a higher plane,...When a pet dies...
This is one of the kindest things you may ever see.. It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service. Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so...Headstone funding for low-income families who have lost a baby
Just heard from this very worthwhile foundation and thought it would be helpful to spread the news: "We have a foundation that helps provide low-income families who have a lost a baby with funding for a permanent memorial stone for the gravesite. We have been around since 2003 and have helped 6 families just this year alone in getting headstones for their angel babies. (See www.dempseyburdick.com) We would love it if you would pass on...Badge
