grieving

I am looking to talk with others who has lost their spouse or loved ones due to cancer.  I lost my husband in may of this year.  He was a great man, a loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather and a dear friend too many.  I came to this site hoping to meet and chat with others.  My life has drastically changed in these past few months.  We had just found out that Mark had cancer one month prior to his death, and I feel like we did not have the time or opportunity to prepare or settle things.  I miss him so much.  I sometimes wonder why God allows this to happen.  

 

If anyone would like to chat, I would look forward to hearing from you. 

 

Thanks to all my new friends,

Renee

I am sorry for your loss. Cancer is a very ugly thing. I lost my Mom to ovarian cancer about a year and half ago. She fought hard for as long as she could. I just lost my father suddenly due to massive heart attack. I believe that God is punishing me and also question why he allows this to happen. Was your husband taking chemo or any kind of treatment? How are your kids doing? Please take care of yourself and take things one day at a time, even one minute at a time.

hi renee,

i lost my wonderful husband on may 8th of this year--first they said it was a heart attack that took him but i knew in my heart it had to be something else--for fred was very strong and he would have survived a heart attack--we did not even know he had cancer until i got the pathology report from the donor foundation when they called me to tell me that they were unable to use fred's gift's due to him having cancer--i am still devasted over all of this and dont understand at all as to why we had no warnings or sypmtoms that he had cancer--for i will never know as to what kind of cancer nor will i ever know what stage it was in since they only tested fred's lymph nodes and his heart--i am sorry for your loss

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
