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.

I often wonder, this last year,how people who lose their loved ones in a car crash, etc. deal with death. They are gone in a moment, I at least had 7 months. Is that better? In many ways, yes, because we had time to say all those things we need to take time to say. All the experts say this next year of first's will be even harder, I hope that I remember each 1'st with all the love that we have for each other. Blessings to you all, I hope all peace.

Marla, I am so very sorry for your loss; your story sounds somewhat similar to mine and I know how easy it is to be hurt, disillusioned, and destroyed by all the good plans you'd made with your loved one that can never be now.  I have these same feelings much of the time, but like you, I am just trying to take one day at a time....to work, to sleep, to eat, to sometimes see a friend of mine or something. Grief is a process..........no doubt about that.  Sending you warm thoughts and prayers.

It has been 3 mths since I lost my love , my husband to unknown primary and secondary cancer. Guess part of me is still in a state of shock and denial. I just try and do the things we normally would do together to keep going. Think if I slow down or stop , I may never get moving again! In a state of disbelief , we were suppose to beat this and come out ok and go on with our love and our dreams! We only had 6 years and I feel so ripped off and alone. I miss him so badly , he was my world and I love him so deeply!

Hi, last month, cancer claimed the life of my beloved fiancé Mark.  He was 56---and our wedding was planned for April 29th of this year.

Laurie, I can relate. This march will be the 2nd anniversary of my husbands passing. He had been diagnosed at the end of August and was gone in March. He also went through chemo' radiation and surgery but the can Rez spread too quickly. I found this past year really hard as family and friends were busy with their lives and I was still lost and felt really alone. So if you need to talk email me, I am a good listener. Blessings

It's been almost a year since I lost my husband, Wayne, to pancreatic cancer. March 13 to be exact. We just went into the doctor for normal blood tests Aug 15, 2012 and the Dr said that he had 30 days. How do you even take that in? He stayed with us for almost 7 months of chemo, surgeries, tears and love. I understand it when others have commented on being numb. There have been prescriptions, alchol etc. just getting this far. Now I'm at the point that I feel like everyone is sick of hearing the pain. But I've just woke up from a daze......so where from here?

My condolences Tye. Losing a loved one to cancer is a terrible thing. It's been five months for me and it is still tough. I
have lost two parents within a year to this dreadful disease. My only comfort is that they are no longer suffering. I wish you peace and blessings.

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.
