It has been a year since my husband died on 1/1/11. I miss him so! I hate being by myself. Some days I still cry and cry. I have cried an ocean of tears. I know others feel the same way I do just by reading the posts below. I keep praying for the hole in my heart to go away but I don't think it ever will. I miss his hugs and kisses and beautiful smile each and every day. My kids came home from college for the holidays so it made the days easier but I still was wishing he was there with us. I don't lilke the idea of creating new memories without him but I know I have to. I feel like I will never be happy again, the sadness just keeps lingering. I used to be a very happy and optimistic person but now I can't even think about the future. I am afraid to plan anything because if it doesn't happen the disappointment would overwhelm me.

Someone please reply and let me know if you are feeling the same way.

I lost my brother ten years ago when I was seven years old.  Now at seventeen, almost eighteen, I feel the need to talk more about his passing.  I really didn't undertand what happened; I mean at seven I don't think it's possible to fully grasp the enormity of the situation.  Now, though, I have and need to talk.  My parents don't talk about it; it's there way of coping.  They don't talk, and therefore I don't either.  I know it's not healthy and bottling everything up isn't good for you, yet I have done that anyway. 

They say, "Time heals all wounds," which is a wonderful theory, but a false one to.  It does get easier but the wounds still hurt.

My son was murdered in 1997 he was 25.my youngest and my only son. It has been fourteen years but i still remember that night like it was yesterday. I had to accept the fact that he was gone, but i sure did not like it. I have three daughters and each one of them has dealed with it in there own way. I have many wonderful memories and the last thing he ever said to me was that he loved me

I lost my 24-year-old daughter 15 months ago.  I don't believe I will ever feel 100% whole.  My world collapsed when she passed away.  It was so unexpected and I miss her more today than ever.  My comfort comes from her two beautiful children.

My friend Tyler died from the "choking game" on August 4, 2009. Its been a little over 2 years. Just when I start to think it's getting a little better, it hits me like a ton of bricks, and I feel just as bad as I did the day it happened..

Hi I have found that some losses have got better over time but not others. The two losses where the pain has not got better have been those where I havn't felt allowed to grieve even though they were very close to me. My aunt died 20 years ago when I was 15. She lived with us and was more like a mum to me but nobody understood how close I was to her and I recieved no help, support, or cards and felt very alone in my grief. Unfortunately my dad and aunt had also not told me about her illness (she had cancer) and we were not allowed to be with her in hospital or go to the funeral which made it really hard to deal with her (what was to me) sudden death. I also had to deal with feelings of anger towards my dad for not telling us although I wanted to be there for him and loved him very much. 20 years later I still feel so much pain over her death. A year and three days ago I found out over the internet that the man I had loved for 10 years (the first and only) had died, but has been difficult to grieve as our relationship was in secret and no one knew how much I loved him. We weren't together when he died but not through our choice, I was waiting/longing for the day that we could be together. I know that this grief will remain painful for many years, probably a lifetime. I wish I knew a way out, Have become very depressed as a result of long term chronic grief. It breaks my heart to hear all the stories on here, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourselves. Babs

It's been almost 20 years since I lost my soulmate, and even though I realized life goes on and moved on (re-married and had a child), I still miss him terribly and although most days are not so bad, there are still days when I feel as much pain as the day I lost him.

It wil be 2 yrs next month since I lost my beautiful 21 yr old daughter and I am not doing so well. Everyday is worse than the one before. It just keeps getting harder and harder to deal with. I still cry everyday. I am so mentally and emotionally broken since she left me.

Oh lordy, you have been gone for over 2 years and I don't feel that I have gotten any better at handling being here without you.  Our friends who were so supportive at first now seem to think I can cope by myself. They say I am so strong but that is only on the outside because that is what they want to see  - on the inside I am an empty shell.  I still cry at the silliest things.  I still see you the day you died - the look on your face was so peaceful but oh how I wish you hadn't gone because I miss you as much today as I did that morning.  I would love to be able to hold your hand again and tell you that I love you.  Why can't I move past these feelings, what do I have to do and how can I do it??? People ask how I am but they don't really want to know because they think I am alright anyway.  You were the other half of me and now I just don't know how to keep going.  I have been existing since you left but not living.  How am I supposed to live again????
