Thank you for your heartfelt replies. It seems that as each day goes by the harder it gets. The little things like balsams seems to reduce me to tears. I always loved the library but we did it…Continue

Profile Information

About Me:
58 year old grandmother to 9. Married for 38 years to my best friend & the love of my life.
About my Loss:
My husband Mike was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 2013. Over the next few months he had chemo, radiation & April 26, 2014 he underwent Gamma Knife brain surgery as his cancer had spread. We were very hopeful that we were being given another chance.
One week to the day Mike fell & fractured his hip & ended up back in the hospital for a partial hip replacement. He returned home but seemed to be on a downward spiral physically. He had one more hospital stay & the MRI results were devastating. His head was full of cancer & he had also had a stroke in the back of his brain. I brought him home to fulfill the promise I had made years before that I would always be beside him. Sadly he left me @ 12:15 AM on June 23, 2014. I am still trying to make sense of it all & understand why. My every thought is tied to him & I find myself constantly thinking about what he would think about certain things.

Sandi, I don't come here often any more.  Glad I did tonight.  Cancer is a real B*stard.  It stole the love of my life July 1st 2011.  There are no words that will make you feel the pain any less intensely so I wont try to do that.  What I will say is I am still here.  Life is getting better, calmer, happier, worth living.  It takes a lot longer than most people realize but one day you will wake up and want to be awake.  Hugs from one wife with her husband to another.  If you ever want to talk, please message me.

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
