It absolutely makes sense Cheryl. How long has it been since your brothers passed away? It's just so good to be where we can pour our heart out and I'm listening to you. I hear and feel your pain. I'm here for you.

I just read some of the posts and my heart just breaks in pieces for all of you. I am so very sorry for all of your losses. I know that God must have sent me to this site because I've been praying for help, but hopefully I can in turn help some of you too. I keep going back and forth from feeling numb to extreme sadness. When I'm numb I feel guilty. Does this make sense? I remember when my first brother died. I took a drive and at his intersection I remember getting soooo angry that everyone went when the light turned green. I was angry because "just for a moment" I wanted all of them, well the entire world to stop and know that my brother mattered. His life mattered and here everyone was just driving off. I knew in my head that it was silly but in my heart it was just so real and painful. Thanks for listening. It helps to talk and not feel like I have to edit ;O)

Thank you Trudy for your kind words. It really is nice to know that someone understands. This isn't something just anybody gets so I am grateful now that I found this site. My heart is sad for yours too. Let's keep in touch.

Hi Cheryl, I'm a newby here too, just one day ahead of you. My heart goes out to you because I really do understand where your coming from. You just never know who the pain is for. Mine was a long time ago but the pain arises every year for the anniversary dates. You've been richly blessed with a wonderful husband. I'm like you, it feels so good to be here in this safe place. Now maybe we can someday heal. My Dr. recommended this for me.

Hi, my name is Cheryl and this is my first post. I have been looking for a safe place to come and I think I've found it here. I've lost 5 of my family members and feel like my remaining brother is gone now too because of drugs. I am married to a wonderful man and we have an awesome grown son. Anyway, thanks for reading. Blessings on you all.

Julie I'm so sorry for your loss. Know what your feeling and want you to know I'm here for you. I've lost my two sons, my husband, my Mom and Dad and recently my little dog. When you need to talk I'm here for you. Sometimes counselors and spiritual leaders don't always understand the pain we're going through. I've had lots of counseling and do believe I've found my spot to get some relief from my pain and to help others. Maybe helping others will help us to relieve our pain. (((HUGS))))

To all who have lost loved ones and/or friends, my heart goes out to you! I have lost my dad, my mom, my second mom(my grandma), grandpa and my beloved Mn Schn named Chief.

I try to focus on what I do have such as my wonderful ex-husband, dear friends and my dads second family. Some days are so much harder and when anything real good or bad happens I want to call my mom who died just this August and she is not there. In february it will be 5 years since I lost dad and sometimes I feel so sad but not sure who I am sad for.

talking to a counselor and friends have both really helped me and talking to a pastor or spiritual leader is also a good idea...i have even downloaded sermons about grief and loss and watched them at home because that is a tremendous weight for any one person to bear! hope you find the support you are looking for!

Dear Mandi, What a tremendous amount of loss to bear. Life can sometimes challenge us to the point that we feel we cannot take it anymore. But, we can take it. We can take it and move forward. I've lost my mother, father, two brothers and best friend. I keep thinking, "OK God, no more...no more, gimme a break!" I just started seeing a counselor this week, hopefully that will bring perspective back. I really recommend you talk to someone...a friend, pastor, counselor.....someone who can justify everything you are feeling and let you know that you are normal. I will be thinking of you as you endure this latest loss....hopefully knowing others are with you will help, even if it's just a bit.

Last year, a dear friend of mine died of leukemia at the age of 27. A few weeks later, a college friend of mine died in her sleep suddenly. A month after that (a year ago December), my husband's grandmother died, a week later a close family friend died of cancer. Six months following that, my 21 year old cousin died in an accident (this was 7 months ago). Three weeks ago, a close friend died of a brain tumor at the age of 36. I cannot express the feeling in my heart. I feel so empty.
