Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
New single parent
This is my first try with this kind of forum so here is my story.
My wife Christine passed away end of January this year,2012, with cervical cancer.
We were all going through life well, as a happy family of four, but now we are three. My daughter is 13, my son is 11,I am 47.
Although I feel that I am coping well as are my kids, I can't help this feeling I have that my kids got short-changed of having a mother. Our Catholic faith is very strong, and we do not put any blame on God for our situation, rather we turn to Him for guidance and comfort. Although I am trying my best now with the kids, I still feel that they need their mother. We are open to speaking with each other when feel we should, and have faced the fact that our lives are very much changed.
We have strong support from our community, but I guess I need to hear from people in a similar situation as myself. As I am now in the process of bringing closure to all my wife's loose ends...financial, documents, benefits,etc, I miss her tremendously.
Time heals all wounds, but at the moment we have a deep cut, and am taking things one day at a time.
I guess I need to talk to anyone to give me further hope.
Thank you for reading this and I hope I can find some kindred spirits.
God bless

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.
