- About my Loss:
- My mother died in december of '06. exactly 15 days before Christmas.
It was a drug overdose that killed her, but she was not an addict. She was very sickly her whole life and every time she got a back pain or a migraine, all the damn doctor did was prescribe another medication. She didn't know what she was doing and she took more than she needed because the drugs messed her up.
I had become accustomed to her drowsiness. In her last years, she was rarely ever herself. I missed her even before I lost her for real. It was like she was dead before she dead.
I'm still dealing with all these emotions and I need help to work them out. I need someone to listen. I miss my mom so much. I was so much like her, and I connected with her more than anyone else. I still needed her...

- Hi Amber,
There is no doubt in my mind your mom would be very proud of the young woman she brought into this world. You just seem amazing!
Thanks for your kid words and support. It really helps to know there are other people out there who know what I'm going through.

- My mom passed away in April and it's been the hardest thing I have ever went through, but I can't even imagine what it must be like to lose your mother at your age, Amber. I know how much you still need her, especially in your teen years. You are in my thoughts and prayers...

I think the people must have sympathy with others who have lost their loving one and must say some word of sympathy to ease the pain, grief and sorrow of somebody else whom he/she knows or even not familiar with.

The day Michael Jackson died I was talking with my brother on the phone. He said, "did you hear that Farrah and Michael Jackson died?" Actually, I thought he was joking as is his nature to do. It was definitely unexpected. One of the things I had ...
For those of us who are having a difficulty coping. I am very upset at this and I think I need some guidance. I never met him but it felt like I knew him.
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.
It feels like I have no one to talk to in my family. I was the caretaker for my family since I don't work. Anytime I was needed I would fly or drive to be at their side. So when my mother got sick I was there in a heartbeat. I stayed for a month t...
Tania, I too have suffered many nasty heartless comments - (way too many) betting most on here have. That anger & pain you feel deep inside for those people tends to weigh on you like a 700 lb coat. In a way I feel sorry for people like that - "th...

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
