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.

K, I am sorry for the loss of your Mom.  Losing a parent is hard and I hope that you have friends and family to support you as you work through the grief of your loss.  Blessings

My mom passed very recently from pancreatic cancer. I still can't believe she's gone. I miss her so much.

John 11:25 (ASV) — Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

Isaiah 26:19 (ASV) — Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

What a wonderful hope. Many times we cry in our pain, and that is ok and normal.

For today, lets think about our hope.

Sherri, I am sorry for your loss.   Losing a partner is very hard and your emotions seem to run amok.  Grief has many stages and each person travels their own unique journey of grief when they lose somebody.  When my husband passed i found that writing out what I was feeling in a journal helped.  I think it was because I felt I had to be strong for everybody around me .. so in the quiet of the night I wrote out my heartache, my anger at my spouse, at God, at life in general.

Finding a support group close to you might help, talking with family and friends about how you feel helps, but for me actually writing down how I was feeling was the best therapy.  I still cry sometimes, and its been 9 months, but I don't feel the guilt or the anger that I initially felt at still being here.  If you ever need to just talk I'd be happy to listen.  I will pray for you to find some peace and the help you need to work through your grief.  You will always miss your partner I don't think that stops, but somehow each of us finds our own way to get through each day and find a reason for why we were left alone.

My Partner died of Cancer in July. It was such a heartbreak. I cry every night. I can't find peace.

2 Corinthians 2:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

It has been some time since I have been here, not because I don't feel for all of you because I do.  I feel the same pain of loss, and some days it seems impossible to go on; but I know I must.  My faith has helped me through the blackest days and focusing on helping my family grieve has helped me too.  I know its OK to cry but I also have come to know its ok to smile again without feeling guilty that I am still here.  I agree with you all that the Holiday Season is going to be extremely hard and I am dreading them in some ways .. but as much as I would like to give in to depression and sadness, I am not going to.  I have a 10 year old that needs me to be here for her, I have grown children and grandchildren that need me to be here to help them get through this holiday.  The loss of my husband is the loss of their father and grandfather .. my hope is that we can all help each other to make it through Christmas by focusing on the reason for celebration, Jesus' birth and our salvation.  It's the only way I am going to get through Christmas.   Hugs to you all!  I can't take away your pain of loss but I hope that reaching out to you will help you know you are not alone!
