My husband died suddenly in 2008.  We were preparing for a special vacation when I found him in the yard, an apparent heart attack.  He was one of those people who was never sick, exercised, didn't eat meat, in great physical shape.  Three years later I am still trying to cope.  Since losing him I grew closer to my younger sister who had never married and was also retired.  We talked almost every day, and did things together.  This past July she became ill and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Aug.  She died on 16 Sep.  We also lost our mother in Sep, just nine days before my sister died.  She was elderly, but in fairly good health.  She had traveled to see my sister in the hospital, and that night, after visiting with my sister, she died in her sleep.  She had been very upset at learning that her daughter was terminally ill.  Perhaps she could not face the loss.

I know that death is as much a part of living as being born, but the losses leave such voids, and seem so cruel to those of us left behind.  I know my loved ones are in a better place.  I'm just struggling to make sense of this life and the continual loss.

I lost my husband to cancer in 2005, then my fiance to cancer in 2009, and now am assisting a friend of 20 yrs who has pancreatic cancer.  More info on my page....

What I want to say is that we must be strong.  and no matter how many times we face this, we must trust.

I am here for anyone who thinks I can help.  (i need help too).!! 

kisses and hugs,

Susan

I ask for everyone's prayers.  Today has been especially hard for me.  I lost my son twenty years ago, my mother 15 years ago, my ex-husband (father of my children), 14 years ago, my father 4 years ago.  I survived all those losses and actually found happiness in life again.  My dear husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago and I am reeling from the loss.  I 'know' I'll survive this and be okay again one day but I just don't see it right now.  I need a hug.

Back in 2009, I lost my friend Tyler to the "Choking Game." That was really hard for me, I had never lost anyone who was that close to me before. In December 2010, Tyler's mother Tina, who was my mother's best friend was murdered. That has also been really hard for me. She was like my second mother, and I love her as if she were my own mother. I miss both Tina and Tyler so much.

It is heartbreaking to read of all of your losses, I wanted to reply to everyone but just don't have the energy, so forgive me for not replying individually but wanted to let you all know that my heart goes out to you. I really do wonder at peoples ability to keep going even if it is as an emotional wreck. I have experienced a lot of loss recently. I lost a close friend, my grandmother and grandfather and my dog within a couple of years and last year Steve the man I loved. This may sound a bit strange but there was a guy at my church who was a spitting image of steve and when steve died I used to look at him and pretend steve was still here but it was also very painful to keep bumping into him, one sunday He looked at me just as steve would have and I just didn't know how I could cope with keep seeing this man, the next week 3 months after steve the pastor announced he had died, it was like losing steve again and I felt really bad that I had felt that I couldn't deal with seeing him again. My aunt died when I was 15, she lived with us and was a mum to me , I have also lost my health, I have a neurological condition similar to ms which has made everyday living harder. I have also lost a lot of my friends this year as they have not been able to cope with my grief reactions to my loss and from being really close like sisters we now hardly speak or not at all in some cases. One person wrote on one of the earlier comments that they missed themselves and I can really relate to that, I don't feel like myself at all and am grieving the old me. Lots of love and hugs to everyone. Babs

Lost my Mom when I was young, my grandmother, grandfather, beloved family dog, recently a friend to an overdose (2010) and two friends killed tragically within the last two weeks- 1 was struck by a drunk driver with his baby and wife in the car, another was hit in a crosswalk by a vehicle and leaves behind his two twin girls. It makes me realize life is short and to appreciate every day, but also very scared.
