Mercy good to hear from you. Life is hard but we all manage somehow. One hour at a time. XO

Today was a really hard day but somehow I have made it through.  Tried to keep busy which was not so hard as I am caring for a 6 month old baby right now.  Seems whatever special day or holiday that comes I end up in tears.  Hugs & prayers go out to you all.

Kim try getting your pictures out and take time to enjoy happy memories- if this is still too soon then try next year - build a stronger happy place where you can feel the warmth of your friendship.

My soulmate and best friend's birthday is tomorrow.  She passed about 8 months ago.  This is soooo hard.  I cry every day too.  Half of my heart is missing and it will never be filled again by anyone.  I love her and miss her.

I’ve been a member for almost two years now, but rarely visit the site these days. I’m truly sorry for all your losses. I know what emotions we are all coping with. I suffered three devastating loses back to back since 2010; My brother, mom, and brother in law. My mom’s death has affected me the most and I feel sad that people expect me to have moved on by now. Two years seems like a long time to most, but for me, it feels like yesterday. I still have a hole in my heart and cry all the time thinking of the pain my mom had to endure while cancer ravaged her body. I’m here for support and will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello Friends,

I read all of your posts and we are all at different stages in our loss and grief. For those of you who have just lost your loved one...I will share this with you. My mom, my only parent died June 26,2010. She SUFFERED terribly from that murder cancer. I take one hour at a time and that is the absolutely only way to survive your grief. It will be two years this June and my grief remains so deep. I still cry about every day missing her. I have just gotten better at pulling myself together. We are all going to die. It is only a matter of when and how. So taking my day 1 hour at a time makes it so much easier. Dealing with the estate and house is HARD. My sister Syd was in charge of the state and she was a cold cold person. I guess that is how she had to be to deal with it. I have 3 sisters and they just walked in their own direction. I never hear from them. I am completely without any family, only pictures of days we were a family years ago. I am blessed with GREAT supportive friends that remind me I am loved. I welcome death so i can be with my family in heaven. Until God allows me to be with HIM I do my best to make my life count.

Ann, I am so sorry for your loss.  It is difficult to understand why our loved ones have to suffer from this dreadful disease, why they have to leave us.  Truly I don't have easy answers.  Being part of a grief support group has helped me to see that maybe we are not supposed to know the why.  Grief has many stages and everybody grieves differently but somehow the stages are so similar.  My way of coping has been to strengthen my faith, and to hold on to the promise that I will see my loved ones again in heaven.   While their earthly bodies once again become dust here on earth, their spirit rises to the heavens and waits for us.   I pray you will find the wisdom and encouragement you are looking for in the days ahead as you grieve for your loved one.

I can't believe I have found myself here. My dad died Feb. 5th of lung cancer. Before 9 months ago, he was the healthiest 73 year old I have ever known. It is very hard to believe and accept that he is gone, as for the last 9 months it has been hard to accept that he had lung cancer after quitting smoking 25 years ago! How can it be? And how does anyone ever heal from losing the people they love the most? It's hard for me to find meaning in life when we lose the ones that mean the most to us. Any words of wisdom/encouragement/philosophy/understanding would be greatly appreciated.
