About Me:
My grief is sometimes overwhelming. This is my first time writing and while it feels good it is also scary. I am talking to a therapist and he suggested a support group but my work schedule make that very difficult. I thank you for this site.
About my Loss:
I lost my dad, mom, and husband in less than 6 years. Dad passed away in July after a long battle with Alzheimer's. A small group of close family sat with him in hospice and I saw him take his last breath. The next year was spent helping Mom deal with her loss and moving out of the now much to large house. She was moving out a year after Dad died and on that same weekend my husband of 32 years was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor told us with surgery and chemo we were looking at 3-5 years. He came thru surgery and returned to work. Then I lost my job. Six months later the doctor said the cancer had spread and told my hasband to get his affairs in order-over the phone! He was devasted and though he fought so very hard just to have one one more Christmas with his grandkids. He lost his battle 6 months later just 16 months after his diagnosis. I held him tight as I saw his breathing change and told him to go to God that I would be ok. Ours was not a perfect marriages but he was my best friend. He adopted my daughter and he was a wonderful dad. Afterward Mom and I supported each other. We grew closer than we had been for many many years. Six months later I knew I was gonna to have to face the fact that I too was looking a possible serious medical situation. My daughter has MS and she is doing quite well -Thanks be to God. She and I had talked about trying to locate her birth father in the past but now I felt the need to move forward on it. He and I had been high school sweethearts and the families were very upset by my pregancay. We went our separate ways shortly after she was born. I was able to locate him and they talked about everything. He asked to see me and when I stepped off the plane, all the years apart just disappeared. The reunion turned out to be more than father and daughter- we reunited as a couple. Later that year with the blessing of our daughter and both of our Moms we were married. It involved moving 1600 miles but but life seemed to be good. Then 2 years later Mom called to say she had cancer. So began the numerous trips back to help Mom with the doctors and chemo and finally her request for hospice. I was looking into her eyes and watched her leave this earth. I still see those eyes sometimes. I can slose my eyes to this day and describe when I lost each of these wonderful people in my like. I miss them.

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
