I am very new here.  I thought I would write a bit about me so you all have a better idea where I am coming from.  It is quite long, so I will summarize it by saying that my wife's life-long illness caught up with her and took her from us one month after her 41st birthday.  Her death was likely hastened by one big mistake on my part and a plethora of really bad moves on the part of some…

I was really struggling yesterday with some guilt. You know the would of, should of, could of’s?

I kept thinking to myself,

“I should of stayed home that Sunday before mom died instead of taking a couple…

Why does grief have to be so traumatizing anyway?  

Maybe there is such a thing as  'Good Grief'!

Lost and regret are two words I really hate. I lost my best friend. I regret the times I won't have her here with me. I miss her every damn day. I feel like i'm not whole any more. That the things that matter don't because she's not here.

I regret all the stupid fighting we did over nonsense. I loved her from very core. We were sisters, and best friends. 

I know that our love and friendship while now separated in death, will never die, but God it hurts so…

  I lost my sister on June 3rd unexpectedly. I had been caring for her for 2 yrs. She was fighting for her disability so therefore had no medical attention. I am feeling very insecure in my relationship. I am afraid that my partner will leave me. I have been told this is normal but am not sure how to deal with it from day to day.

No matter how many years shall pass, nor what will take place in my life, I will never forget the love I had for my husband of 46 years.  But, living does go on and we must all look to the present and future and take the lessons of the wonderful love we had and add them on to our new lives.  One is never parted from our loved ones and one day we shall be together in peace in a way we never imagined while here.  I wish this for everyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one.  My love goes…

I lost my daugther almost 2 years ago and I haven't had very many dreams of her,even though I pray every night for them...but I have had several where she doesn't know who I am. She could look right at me and not have any idea who I was. I was just another person to her. A stranger. What does this mean? Does it mean she won't know me when it's my time? Am I looking too much into this?

Please if anyone has had these same dreams help me to understand them. These dreams scare me. I'm…

My Mom battled COPD and congestive heart failure for years. She lived alone in an apartment about 5 miles from my house. I took care of her daily. I helped her with daily housework and meal planning. I could…

I don't really know why my mothers' passing is still affecting me. I can only come up with a couple of theories but never any solid answers on it. Maybe if there was someone out there who understood what its like to feel empty. Maybe if there was someone who could just sit and talk to me about what I'm feeling. The strange thing is, there will be days, sometimes even weeks when I'm okay. Happy.…
