Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm 54 years old, I live alone and am divorced with no children. Everyone in my immediate family has died. I have four cousins, but only one speaks to me. I have two cats. Most of my friends are married with families of their own or have moved out of state.
- About my Loss:
- In 1981 I lost my mother to cancer. My older brother (and only sibling) Mark died of sudden cardiac death syndrome in 2001, and my father died of a heart attack the same year. My brother was my rock. We lived together most of our lives and were best friends. When he died, it changed my past, present and future. I miss him every single day, but I am finally okay again.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
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

Hello, Lori. I'm sorry I'm so late posting here, but I too have lost a brother. Actually, I've lost 3 and it's difficult. In addition, I've lost my mom and dad, who both had Alzheimer's disease. Dad had cancer as well. I watched them both waste away. It was heart breaking. One of my brother died from cancer, one from heart attack, and one for respiratory arrest (COPD).
Unlike most of you, my losses are not new, but they still affect my life every day. When I was really lost, an online grief group was my lifeline. I've learned that helping others also helps me, and I hope that sharing some of my experiences will encourage you to believe that things will eventually get better.
