Wow, Eve...I am so sad to have to say that I can somewhat relate, or at least my Mom possibly could...I am so sorry for your pain...
My Dad died this past January of '09 and my abusive husband and my divorce will (I pray) be finalized next month. I…
Having kind of a bad day. Started out seeing the eye doctor and having my tear duct flushed. That's enough to put a damper on the day. Just a bit depressed today. Hoping it will pass.
Wondering how you are doing today.
My husband's death was not sudden. I thought I was prepared for him to go and was handling the grief very well. Then I found out I'd just been stuffing it away and ignoring it. I have no great words of wisdom to offer you. But you do have my sympath…
My husband died May 14, 2008. My son-in-law announced to my daughter October 5 that their marriage was over and moved out of the house November 7. I started seeing a counselor after my daughter got divorced (it was final March 2009). I felt I needed…
For everyone that has lost their Dad.
I lost my father more than 23 years ago. I still miss him. And, sometimes, I still cry. Tears can be a wonderful release for grief. They help to wash away the sadness and let us remember more of the good times. Don't hide from your tears - use them…

- You will never be forgotten. I know you are grieving and you are always in my prayers. Just know that I am here if you need to talk. I've been grieving since I was 2 years old. You never get over the loss of your loved ones. To be honest, this site helps me work through my own grief. Thanks and many ((((hugs)))).

- I used to know a man whose wife was a belly dancer. He had a bumper sticker that said "Belly dancers husbands have more fun." I've always liked that. I love just about any kind of dance. I think belly dancing must be one of the best, exercise-wise. I'd like to learn to hula, too.

- Hi Eve,
I didn't know you were interested in Belly Dancing. I am too. Maybe we can post some belly dancing classes on Iowa Avenue. That is, if I can find some. Take good care of yourself,
Diana

Finally Beginning to Grieve
My husband died May 14, 2008. My son-in-law announced to my daughter October 5 that their marriage was over and moved out of the house November 7. I started seeing a counselor after my daughter got divorced (it was final March 2009). I felt I needed to know how best to help her and her children cope. The counselor pointed out that I was depressed and that I hadn't yet grieved the passing of my husband. I didn't want to believe him, but he assured me that I was in denial. Go figure.

Grief upon Grief
I was handling Ed's death pretty well. I've been a bit less apt to tidy up the room since Ed died, but other than that I was doing well. I was prepared for his death, ready for him to leave this life behind, even happy for him to be released from his body which had grown old and feeble. Healing nicely and taking on new challenges in life.
Then my son-in-law decided that my daughter was not the woman of his fantasies - he needed a divorce. It seems as though he wants to punish her for falling sh… Continue

Thank you Laura; my heart goes out to you.
Susan, you say so beautifully what I have been feeling for the last 6 1/2 months...what is to be done with all the love and affection we shared with our loved ones who have passed? This energy does not dissipate or transfer...it is always there boun…
For me, I am reminded of the season in some way, for example, A sign in the market about ordering your turkey. I stop and think, "Why didn't they take that sign down. The holidays are over... Oh, wait Christmas hasn't happened yet!" The spirit is no…

Will be a relief when the holidays are over !!! All the lights, carols, etc.... make me sort of angry !!! Then people say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas , & all the )O&(&(&(*. Kill me now - pleaseeeeeeeeee.
Thanks for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Your story made me feel like I am not a lone. I thought I was the only one waking up with the thought of what I have to do for my grandfather. I was also his care giver. I was w…
everything I see, hear, smell reminds me of my mom. I see a woman on tv with the same hairstyle as my mom and I cry, a similar dress on a woman walking down the street. The smell of foods my mom liked. Everything will remind you. My mom's native lan…
Hi susan, im sorry for your loss, losing someone is very tough indeed and i cannot imagine what pain you must be going through after sharing such a special bond with your dad, which you are fortunate to have, not everyone shares such a special bond…

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
