Profile Information:

About Me:: I have been grieving quietly. As not to upset anyone around me.
About my Loss:: I lost my father in 2005 because he choose to smoke. I lost my husband two years later, for the same reason. My husband was diagnosed with stage four cancer in Feb. 2007 and he passed away June 24, 2007. I sometimes still find it hard to believe. It is like a bad dream. I spent 27 wonderful years with my husband. He was my soulmate. The Lord blessed me with one of the best. I just wish we could of had more time together. Losing my husband while he was 54 and I was 49 was one of the hardest things ever. I keep thinking it was all a bad dream. But in reality I know that the Lord was ready to have my husband back home. For some reason, this does not make it any easier for me.

Hi Gina,
Thanks for your support! My cousin has 3 tumors in his spine, prostate and bladder. Right at this very moment he is having his prostate removed. I'm just trying to keep myself busy.

I lost my husband five years ago after a battle with cancer. He fought hard. I fought hard to keep him here. I've lost my mom, dad, grandmother, cousin, two uncles, father in law, mother in law and now my husband too all in 22 years. I thought I could get through this on my own, but I'm not moving forward very well. I am going to join a grief support group this month. I miss being a couple and I hate that he is gone.
