Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am twenty-five years old, from Melbourne, Australia.
I come from a close family and have one brother, Aiden, who is twenty-two. I am a writer, a strong advocate for animal welfare and passionate for travelling.
- About my Loss:
- On November 27, 2009 my mum passed away following a short battle with cancer. Diagnosed in early October, we lost her only seven weeks later. She died at home, peacefully, with myself, my brother and my dad at her side.
Mum and I were extremely close and this loss has impacted me severely. I have had therapy to help with the grieving process, and whilst the people around me have provided unconditional love and support, I still struggle 2.5 years on. Shortly after losing mum I fell in love with somebody who provided me with a form of happiness I thought I would never feel again. However, he suffered from chronic depression and this ultimately led to a broken heart - leaving an even bigger wound, and became entwined with the grief I already felt in losing mum.
I miss mum every single day and sometimes find it difficult to be living in a world where she doesn't. Moving on is a step-by-step battle and I especially struggle to see my father with somebody else, after seeing him with my mum (AKA his soultmate) for my whole life.

"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

Dear Tess,
Truth be told, I wish you never had a reason to find this website. However, you have found a very caring group who are walking the the grief highway as you are. This highway is highly personal and individualized. Still, you will find empathy, compassion and understanding.
I lost my father in law on July 24th 2010. It seems it was only yesterday. I think the way my family survives the agony is to look ahead to the future promised in the Bible. Do you believe the Bible is God's word? Well if you do, then maybe you understand what I mean. Revelations 21:4, " And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I really look forward to when God will, through his Kingdom government, with Jesus as King, bring an end to death and the mourning and outcry it causes.
My husband and I left early yesterday to go to our meeting at our church, so we went out to eat lunch. As we sat there my husband told me what he wanted to do while visiting his father's grave-site while in Oiho in a couple of weeks.(we live about 1200 miles away) As he spoke and without hesitation I began balling. Tears flowing like a river. . . He just had to stop talking. . . I look forward to the time when this enemy death is brought to nothing! (1 Corinthians 15:26) "As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing."
I hope you have a peaceful day today and can tell us more about your Mom later.
Sincerely,
Brenda
