Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a 47 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I am also a survivor of advanced Colon Cancer.....10 years now! But I have been left with many other health issues because of my fight and the underlying genetic disease I have that caused all of this in the first place!
I am a musician and studied music education in college although I do not teach because of health situation. I enjoy playing flute, handbells, singing, writing and am TRYING to take up guitar. Very active in my church's music department.
- About my Loss:
- My loss is unusual and I have only just come to the point that I will 'allow' myself to grieve. I met the my first love over twenty years ago. We dated seriously about a year but kept finding ourselves together again after our breakup. We went our separate ways finally and I met my husband two years later and we have been married for 17 years now. I am not saying I don't love my husband. I do. Very much so. But this past relationship was never really 'closed'. I found out a year ago that my first love had passed away a whole year before from sudden illness......I was floored and hit with so many deep and unexpected feelings of grief and sadness. I could not publicly acknowledge this huge loss because I felt 'silly' for grieving something from so long ago. I did of course tell my husband of his passing, but not how deeply I am grieving the death of my first love. I am ready now to acknowledge my feelings and allow myself to grieve my loss. It is so hard to deal with the loss all alone.

"I lost my husband overnight that it happened so fast that I still can’t accept that he’s gone."
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
