it seems like the word "joy" isnt going to be in my vocabulary again....I dont know how people get past loss of any kind....different kinds of loss....how they can find happiness again....I have lost the dearest things to me....things have been happening unexpectedly in a short period of time that are more than a person, or me, can take....I dont know how to be positive or how to find something enjoyable to hold onto to get me thru all of this horrible stuff....sorry to sound so morose

i feel like everything is crashing down all around me....its bad enough to lose my mom, but i am having several other things happening that are too life changing at the same time....this is just so much more than I can handle....why I have to go through all of this I dont know.....everything that was good in my life is now lost, I must have a black cloud over me....you know a person can only take so much, especially at one time

its the physical loss of them, and not being here physically with us that is the hardest part....when my dad died, well I lived with him, and I remember him coming down the stairs from his bedroom every day, and when he wasnt there and not doing that anymore, it was real strange....you just expect them to walk through that front door again....we take alot for granted I think

you are righ about faith Mary....its very important....I am going through a health crisis myself now, and am holding on to my faith in God to get me through and that I will be ok....life sure has its trials and tribulations....I also lost my father to cancer, although its been 8 years....it got easier with his loss, but my mother's loss is definitely more difficult....also losing her to cancer makes me wonder if I will go through the same thing, the risk is higher since both parents died from it, and others in my family have....I just try not to think on it....I'm sorry for Jessica too, I KNOW how it feels....loss is just very hard....but you never really lose them, they stay with you forever, try to focus on that....my mom's spirit is strong with me....

Faith definitely helps. I am glad I had my faith as well during the loss of my loved ones.
Jessica, I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your father. I too lost my father to cancer, but I lost my mother to cancer when I was 12yrs. old. I know the pain you are feeling. You are not alone. Always talk about your feelings to someone who cares or to all of us on this site.

yes, the Lord helps...and prayer....I am at peace knowing that mom went straight to heaven, in fact, before she passed, I asked her if she wanted to go be with the Lord, and she said yes I'm ready....he also helps us that are left behind :)....I am glad I have my faith

The Lord helps too.

Jesus Christ helps-- the only way I'm making it day by day is because I have faith and hope in my Savior :)
Comment by Rachel Lynn Schuler on February 3, 2011 at 9:39pm
Michael, I am glad you have found something that helps you :)....I will need to do the same

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.
