I totally understand where your coming from hun and am going through the same thing...keeping you in my thoughts and hope to maybe talk soon.
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place,
he then looked down upon the
earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffer…
Hun you are in my prayers...im new to this as well and also it was by God's grace that I found this website as well. God bless and try and stay as strong as you can..remember to go to him when you are weak....
I created this group for people who may be grieving one or both parents. I lost my Mom and Dad within one year of each other. Dad passed away from Lung Cancer and Mom passed less than one year later from Pick's Disease.
There were so many things left unsaid that I wanted to say....I wish I could have told him so much and hope that he hears me...I miss him sooo much, this song sooo hits it on the spot
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.

- Hi Tiffany-
I am so sorry I missed you on chat the other day.
How are you today? Hope you are well. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father. I understand completely the pain, isolation and loneliness you are feeling. I too have trouble even talking about any of this. I would much rather avoid everything but I feel I have come to a crisis point and that is why I reached out on this website.
I isolate myself also. I avoid my husband and daughter and spend A LOT of time in the bedroom alone. It is so hard to relate to anything or anybody. I sit in my room with the Memory Bear made from my fathers shirt and the blanket that my Mom always used hoping for some strength or answers or something.
It has caused tremendous strain on what was a strong, healthy marriage. I hurt that my 6-year-old daughter had to lose her Grandpa and Grandma all in one year. They were SO involved in her life.
I don't even know how to sort out the anger, pain, sadness, depression, fear, desperation etc etc...
A lot of time it is hard to express what I am feeling and I find myself just trying to remain numb and not feel at all.
I am here for you Tiffany....anytime.
I understand!

This is the poem that was in my dads funeral program it brings to me to tears of joy and sadness
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place,
he then looked down upon the
earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and
lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
and the hills wer hard to climb,
so he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered "Peace Be Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose,
but… Continue

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…

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...

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
