This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

In dealing with sorrow and loss, it's never easy. I looked up to my father who struggled throughout his life. I always realize to take one day at a time. Everyone, including my father grieved once too over the loss of his mother and he endured a life with tremendous strength and courage. If he can endure, than I can too. As much as it hurts that he is gone, I can only wait till we meet again. Alas, each day I try to find something to smile about, because I know there's more to life than the suffering that we may feel and witness. Life keeps going forward, as we must too.

You will never let go. What you do is put on a thicker skin. All you do in time is learn how to hide it better. That way you do not have to hear all that bull shit about how it will get better, when you know damn well it will never get better.

I am listening to a beautiful song by Jim Brickman called Beautiful World.
My life used to be beautiful.

Well in one week it will be the 1 year anniversary to the loss of my sweetbaby, my husband.

Reading our comments here, I see many are experiencing the "let them go" comments. Here is what just popped in to my head, and I hope you can find the strength to use it when someone tells you to let go.....

 

I did let go, I had no control, the Lord took my sweetheart to heaven with out asking, just took them away, but what I want you to know, is that no, I will not let go, no, I will not let go of the memories, the love, and the missing them so The hurt and pain I feel so deeply is mine and I own it, if you can not support my hurt and tears, and hug me when I need it, the go....let me be...you do not understand the loss and it is easy to tell someone to let go....but it is not your heart just remember, it is mine.

Kirstine, I listened to the song the other day and it made me cry.

We are all surrounded by loss and it truly stinks beyond words. I haven't written in awhile but I read postings regularly. Last week was the two year anniversary of my beautiful husband and the whole thing is still very unreal to me. It's a horrific nightmare. I am very sad and empty inside since my husband passed on. My existence is truly meaningless without my husband. He was my everything. I am really struggling today. I miss him so very much. I used to say that it should have been me who passed away but I would not want my husband to go through what I am going through. No one should have to experience such pain and sadness. It's unfair.
My life is forever changed.

On the 4th of February 2012 I've lost my sister, only 28 years young, after a long battle of leukemia. 

People tell me life goes on, to get over it, that there is so much to enjoy. I can't.

Ever since I'm a wreck. I can't sleep at night because I dream about her and wake up in panic because all of the sudden I realize she's not with us any longer.

With each day passing I ask myself, how much longer?

Rachel I feel the same way, how could God allow this? He was a healthy, vibrant man, very loving and caring father. He had also had many losses in his family in the last few years, his brothers are all gone and his sister too. I'm hurting so bad, I don't even have the right words to describe the pain of so many losses.

Am so sorry Michael. My sister just lost her soulmate, her husband of 32 years. I'm so devastated; I feel like we are not getting a break in my family. George was such a wonderful man, a sweet quiet soul. He died in a car wreck, only 57 years old. Please pray for my sister; I'm hurting so bad, I cannot imagine how her and the kids are coping.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
