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.

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.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
