Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a forty year old father of two girls. I am married for a second time. I am more sensitive than most men, a consequence of being primarily raised by two strong women, my grandmother and mother. At this point in my life I have lost both grandparents and my mother as well as my faith....
- About my Loss:
- I lost my grandmother to leukemia some years ago. My mother passed six months ago after a ten year battle with cancer. My grandfather passed two weeks ago after fighting Alzheimer's disease for the last six years. My father has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My wife has taken a job two hours from home and has a separate home until I finish the police academy in May. I have also lost any faith I ever had. I am alone

More difficult times...
In less than twelve months I have lost my mother, grandfather, performed cpr on a friend's father who died in my hands. I recently graduated the police academy and was looking forward to rejoining my wife in Denton where we had decided to make a new start. I was greeted with her request for a divorce. Now I find myself almost back where I started with this whole process. People tell me to get back out there and do things and that things could always be worse but I dread to think what else…

Difficult Times
For those who don't know me, my name is Adam. My mother died seven months ago after fighting breast and bone cancer for ten years. I took care of her for most of that time and when she passed it took a deep emotional toll on me as well as my marriage and school efforts. During the time I was caring for her I was trying to attend nursing school and wasn't able to focus well and ended up failing the program. I became very cold and distant and ceased to care for myself or my marriage as I…

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

Adam, please allow my family and I to extend a truly sympathetic ear. May I ask, what faith were you brought up with? Why do you feel your faith is lost? We have a 40 year old son and 6 soon to be 7 grandchildren. My family lost my father in law July 2010 and we have all taken that very hard. To this day my, now 5 year old, granddaughter draws pictures for great pawpaw and we keep them in a Tupperware container.
This road of grief is filled with terrible highs and lows. Each person is different and handles grief in a way unique to themselves. Loss or damaged faith seems to be one of the normal things that can happen but does not mean that it is lost forever. Sometimes this kind of "grief related loss of faith" is more a list of new unanswered questions. Questions when answered from the Bible can restore a persons faith.
Just want you to know that you are not alone - many here have been where you are and will be here for you. If you become uncomfortable speaking publicly feel free to email me at
Passing it Forward,
Brenda
