A Pair of Shoes

"A Pair of Shoes"



I am wearing a pair of shoes.

They are ugly shoes.

Uncomfortable shoes.

I hate my shoes.

Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.

Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another

step.

Yet, I continue to wear them.

I get funny looks wearing these shoes.

They are looks of sympathy.

I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and

not theirs.

They… Continue

Bed time is one of the hardest times since he passed away.

Night time is the hardest part of the day for me, that's when we would talk and share about how our day had gone. Then plan for the following day, I miss doing that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm missing him right this minute!

I love you Rob!

LiveStrong

Yesterday I went to our local LiveStrong Event here in town. I am so glad I did. I couldn't run but I did put a whole bunch of names on the chain of hope. Some survived cancer and some didn't. Mommy didn't! I came to support the runners and walkers and riders in her memory.There are so many times yesterday when they were talking that I was thinking that if they ever cure Ovarian Cancer it would not be able to help Mommy but it would help other women. I am trying still to…

Just Thinking about you today Mom

I have been thinking alot about you today mom and I don't know why. I guess because I was talking to friend of mine on Facebook about what you and dad did for Michael. There were so many times I counted on you and you came through and I could never have repayed you for those times. Now I can't and it bothers me alot. Did you ever know how much you meant to me? Did I say I love you enough? Did I tell you I appreciated you enough? I love you mom so much! Paige

Rape Grief

I totally believe that you grieve over the loss of yourself when you are raped. I am a survivor of rape and I can honestly say that I greived over the parts of me that were taken away from the rape and I am not sure even now as healed as I have been that they will come back,. I mourn for the trusting way I used to be because I am not that way anymore. And I mourn for the happiness I lost in my life. It has not been an easy road but I am making it slowly back maybe not to the person I was but a… Continue

Being an orphan

My worst fear in the world at one time was being an orphan. That came true when my dad died three years ago. When it finally happened it wasn't the big fear I thought it was going to be. The overwhelming feeling I had wasn't fear but a complete and utter saddness knowing that neither one of my parens would ever be there at the happy moments in my life. My dad won't be able to walk me down the asile if I get married again. They won't see my son marry and have children of his own. I know they are… Continue

Mom

What I wouldn't give to have one more day with you! One more hug! One more kiss! One more conversation. It is never to be because cancer took you from us far to young. I see you everywhere Mom. In the sky on a clear day and in my bedroom at night. Because of you I no longer fear death. I can't wait to see you and dad in heaven. I miss you every day! Thank you for being my mom and my best friend! I love you and miss you so very much.

I'm guilt ridden

Hi everyone, Im new to this so bare with me.

My mom passed away on March 27th of this year. She was 57 yrs old. She has been ill for over 5 years now and no one could diagnose her disease. She had back surgery for a herniated disc and about a year after that she started to go down hill.

The first symptoms were her speech. She started slurring her words. Automatically we thought it was because of her pain medication she was taking for her back. However, after…

Grieving Process

Grief is a process that you must decide to go through. I never thought @ age 37 I would be grieving my husband. I'm just looking for people to listen and give advice. I'm currently in Grief Share, but when that ends I know of no support groups locally to attend. I hope someone can share some advice concerning suicide of a love one. This is one of the hardest things that I've ever had to deal with. A suicide leaves so many unanswered questions and… Continue

My Sweet Angel Above

My dearest sweet Jessy who understands from above

It's been two years, and still so strong is our love

I've been through positive times, determined to grow

Hopelessly Sad

I suffer from depression and anxiety and have been coping with this for the past year or so. I have gone through the sudden death of a friend and two traumatic breakups. I had started to feel better, lighter, and as if life was finally going right. I had met a guy that had complimented me in every way. We were inseperable and not five minutes would go by without us calling, texting, or emailing one another. I felt so safe with him and finally let my guard down. Yesterday, he broke up with…

FEBRUARY 15-16,2009



It is the morning after we were at the hospital all night because they had to sedate him because breathing was too hard with the breathing tube in for him. It is around 9 in the morning and I wake up and to my surprise everyone else is asleep from the long night…
The phone rings and it is his oncologist and I answer it and he mistakes me for my mom. He says that they did blood tests and there is a serious infection with his kidneys from his low white blood cell…

Thank you for welcoming me to the on-line grief community.

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling like I was going to suffocate. The 40th anniversary of my mothers death is this Sunday April 4. She had cancer. I was 11 years old. I did not know that my mother was going to die. When she did, I started to cry, my aunt said "stop crying you are just feeling sorry for yourself" I learned to hold all of my feeling inside, I have turned my anger inward and am now depressed. As a 51 year old mother of 2, I need to know how to grieve and how to pass… Continue

I Can Hear you Whisper - by Sandy Goodman

I CAN HEAR YOU WHISPER



In the mornings

I reserve my drive time

To say hello to you

And to feel you surround me

With your violet eddy of emotions.

In the beginning, a hundred years ago (or was it yesterday?),

My trips to town were for crying,

For screaming,

For asking you over and over and over again

WHY YOU HAD TO LEAVE,

But now it's different.

Now we share the sunrise.

We listen to music,

We reach for…

1952 Club, six weeks!

So, you ask what the hell is the 1952 club? Well let me explain my

friend, it is a very strange phenomenon! It all started with three guys

who were born in 1952 (Matt, Tim and Fred) and who all had lovely girls

for their daughters. All three of their daughters met in Mortuary

School at Wayne State in 2006. All of these girls, Alex, Brit and Abs

graduated from school and are currently licensed funeral directors. All

of these girls went to the same school and became… Continue

One year on

This weekend will be one year since my dad died, i haven't been on here in a while. I've been getting really down alot recently, and also angry. I can feel myself taking my anger out on my mum, and i know i shouldn't. I want to stop myself but i can't, and after i'm done i hate myself for it.

I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. Most of it i can't even remember.

I don't want to do anything, i don't have the motivation to get up and go find a job.

I don't…

5 weeks, still feeling the pain...

So it has been five weeks since my dad had died. That still sounds weird in my head, the fact that my dad died. How the fuck could that be? He was only 57? Why is the only question I have? Was my dad a bad guy, did he deserve to die, why take him so early? It just does not make sense to his 27 year old daughter, he did not get to walk me down the aisle, he did not get to witness the birth of my first child, it is so unfair? Really is there someone above us who gets to decide this shit? Really… Continue

Needing him...

This weekend im going to look at apartments for college. I cant even imagine how hard its going to be without him there. I know hell be there with me in spirit, but i need him here in person. It really hits me hard that he wont be here to help me move out or to tell me hes proud of me. They say it gets easier as time passes, but in my case, not so much. i feel like everyday my heart tears a little more...the emptiness i feel gets worse...the pain of not having him here gets worse. i just hope… Continue

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
