Just some spammer/scammer....I cannot believe they would try to scam this group of people...they probably get paid for everyone who clicks on their link.

If you want to block a certain person (I have gotten over 100 spam messages today) all you need to do is login, hit their name to look at their profile and on the left there is a button to block messages from that person. It works well!

How do I cope with losing someone again.it's nearly 6yrs since my aunt died.of bowel cancer & since then have lost 4 more family members then last week was just told my father in law has advanced cancer,my mother-in-law in pushing our family out of it and has only just agreed to us taking his 4 grandchildren to see him,but my husband feels like his mumis pushing him out as he isn't his dad's biological son. She said we were not allowed to see him today as.he.gets to tiered but found out today she has her.son and 2 children staying over tonight and her other son his partner and 2 young children all round today. Then she had a go at us for telling our 3teenage children that there grandfather has cancer,something sadly for my children have already experienced to any times already in their young lives. My husband is taking this really bad & I'm really struggling.to hold it together for my children and am already been treated for depression

My name is Alexis Zarycki and I want to share with you all some news. In February of 2015 I lost my mother at the age of 21 years old to a three year battle of stomach cancer.

My mother was well-liked within our community, among both family and friends. She was only 51 years old when she passed; I being only 21 years old now left to live without a mom. 

After my mother’s passing, our family was a mess. We actually are still a mess, just a cleaner one. However, after the screaming, crying, and distraught; we all decided to do something in order to share our mothers live with others. Share her story and life with the world. So my father wrote a book. And we helped him. My mother’s story is empowering, important, and tells the story of a person’s battle with cancer. The book, which you can find more detailed information online is entitled, "Stairways- A True Story of Love, Life, and Death."

I wanted to share this news with you all because we all know how it feels. To be without a mom. To have to face each day forced to accept the fact you cant hug, kiss, smell and feel your mother next to you. hear her voice: nothing.

I think what my father is doing is inspiring. I really do. My father didn’t write this book for anything else but to remember and honor my mother’s life. He did it out of love, out of grief, to give people an outlet they could relate to.  Cancer and sickness affects so many lives today, and my father wanted people to see that. He  is such an amazing man. Truly he is. I am being contacted by many individuals about how inspiring and influential his book and I know in the bottom of my heart I know my mother is proud of him as well as myself, brother and the rest of our family and friends. My father’s book is not only a story about love and loss, but it is also a self-help book. It shares our mother’s story and my father’s journey as a caregiver while also teaching people ways to deal with stress, anger, and sadness.

 

So with that, I thank you for giving me the time of day and letting me share this news with you. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the book or our story. Together we can all fight cancer and put an end to sickness. We just need to share one story at a time.

 

Thanks again and have a blessed day.

Michael,,Thanks for your post and the question.  I am a firm believer in God and know He was there by my side all the time my husband suffered, but he did not suffer like Jesus did when he was crucified and nailed to the cross.,  It was time for my husband to go home and there was no more pain, confusion, medicines for him. He found peace and contentment at his new place to live.  Know we will re-unite one glad day when I take my journey to Heaven....God be with you, as the days pass for you , in your loss of your wife.........

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.
