A song I've heard a thousand times, but never really paid attention to the words...

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Sunrise doesn't last all morning

A cloudburst doesn't last all day

Seems love is up and has left you with no warning

Its not always going to be this grey



All things must pass

All things must pass away



Sunset doesn't last all evening

A mind can blow those clouds away

After all this,my love is up and must be leaving

Its not…

We're only human, and thank God Turkey's don't fly!

 

We are only human. That's what I resort to when things get rough.

I give myself a break for being human, having grief, ups and downs, and just about anything else!

I figure if I didn't have these weaknesses I might as well wear a red cape and fly around and rescue people from criminals and other misfits! 

And being only human is a real tiny thing compared to the universe and especially beyond that!

It's astounding how a bad thing like grief feels so huge,…

The Holidays are here. Oohh Crap!....

We have to know what to expect for the holidays, and that would be pain from

that empty space of whose missing.  It's important to have someone to share the pain

with, if not a friend or family member, there are various support groups like this On LIne 

Grief Support, or churches, libraries, and others available in your community.

The holidays were always comforting and frustrating for me, but this year will definitely be challenging and painful.  We just have to…

A wish for peace to all OLGS members

To my friends on OLGS, I wish you all of the love that your lost loved ones still have for you, and I love you all too!

We are not here to suffer, we were not put here to suffer, so let the light shine in and shine on you and your families and your lives!   I believe our loved ones are in the sunshine, in the rain, in the air, in the earth's scent, and just basically in nature.  They have become a greater and more beautiful part of this world, a bigger part of us all!  

And…

Love Finds Us

Do you remember a time in your life when you stopped needing and looking for love, and it found you?

I remember a date about 16 years ago, she wanted me to pick up 2 tacos, so when I got to her house, she was coming out of her front door.  I grabbed the tacos from the front seat, got out of my drivers side door, set the tacos on my seat, then walked around to open her door for her, shut it, walked back around to get in my door, and sat on the tacos.  Needless to say, the relationship…

What is Life?

I've been thinking a lot lately and asking myself the question What is life?

Life is a living cell, or many cells, millions of them working together to produce life.

It originated in water vapor some  4.7 billion years ago.

It is living matter.

It produces through fertilization.

It's DNA and RNA and twenty amino acids. 

It's evolution

It is a journey from conception to birth, through childhood, adulthood and old age.

It is a growing and…

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.
