So, you ask what the hell is the 1952 club? Well let me explain my
friend, it is a very strange phenomenon! It all started with three guys
who were born in 1952 (Matt, Tim and Fred) and who all had lovely girls
for their daughters. All three of their daughters met in Mortuary
School at Wayne State in 2006. All of these girls, Alex, Brit and Abs
graduated from school and are currently licensed funeral directors. All
of these girls went to the same school and became…

This weekend will be one year since my dad died, i haven't been on here in a while. I've been getting really down alot recently, and also angry. I can feel myself taking my anger out on my mum, and i know i shouldn't. I want to stop myself but i can't, and after i'm done i hate myself for it.
I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. Most of it i can't even remember.
I don't want to do anything, i don't have the motivation to get up and go find a job.
I don't…

So it has been five weeks since my dad had died. That still sounds weird in my head, the fact that my dad died. How the fuck could that be? He was only 57? Why is the only question I have? Was my dad a bad guy, did he deserve to die, why take him so early? It just does not make sense to his 27 year old daughter, he did not get to walk me down the aisle, he did not get to witness the birth of my first child, it is so unfair? Really is there someone above us who gets to decide this shit? Really…

This weekend im going to look at apartments for college. I cant even imagine how hard its going to be without him there. I know hell be there with me in spirit, but i need him here in person. It really hits me hard that he wont be here to help me move out or to tell me hes proud of me. They say it gets easier as time passes, but in my case, not so much. i feel like everyday my heart tears a little more...the emptiness i feel gets worse...the pain of not having him here gets worse. i just hope…

So tomorrow I have a paper due for class and I can not get motivated to start this paper. This is not like me, yea normally I procrastinate and wait till the last minute, but I always get my work done. I think I work best under a little pressure. But right now, I don't even care if I start this paper. I have up to a week to turn it in late and only get marked down one grade and that is looking to be my best option. Sorry to ramble, but I sat down at four o'clock to start this paper and just…

I am 27 years old, my dad died January 27, 2010 due to a major stroke
in his brain stem. It was very sudden and unexpected, he was only 57.
The doctors told us he would make a sixty to ninety percent recovery,
but then they didn't realize where the stroke actually happened and the
affects it had on his system. I believe I am still in shock over this.
I am a part time funeral director and am in grad school part time
working on my masters in social work. It was a…

My boyfriend passed away on 01/08/2010. I still dont know what happened. The family and I are waiting for the autopsy report to let us know. Jeff was my world. He was my star. He was my everything. We did so many things together. I was suppose to move in his home the last weekend of January. We were both very excited about it. I spoke to him that day. He always called me in the mornings to wake me up. When he called me he sounded so full of life and energy. He was asking me if I was coming over…

Michael's mom passed away today. The loss of him was too much for her. And so I've lost another. This is the second time in my life I've had back to back losses. My dad and husband died less than two months apart in early 2001, widowing my mom and I at the same time. Now Michael and Alice (mom). My existence at this point is beyond comprehension. And Michael's poor brother! His dad, brother, and mom in less than 3 months! His entire family-gone! Just like that! I've lost my entire family too,…

I Have learned ,to my own detriment, to hold in my emotions until the most inopportune time. This started when i was very young, i had certain family members who always told me to keep my mouth shut, and that crying was showing weakness. the same ones who told me that when i was five are the same ones who told me the same things when my mom and sister died. they say old habits die hard, well this bitch is taking it's sweet time. My whole life i have had anxiety and have always been worried…

I have been so angry lately, and I know it's part of the process.
Mad like I got once just a few months after my Mom died. It was December I think, and my freinds were worried about me and wanted to get me out of the house. I hadn't been out much-which for me is a bit odd, I am a very social creature. Much like my mother!!
My friend dragged me out to dinner with one of her friends, a young lady I hadn't met before. She seemed so nice, but I was a bit quiet because I didn't want to get…

When my son died from a drug overdose I didn't blame God. (I thought) Rationally, I knew that my son's use of drugs was far removed from the life the Lord would have him lead. But still...I was faithful to pray for God's intervention in my son's life and I believed with all my heart that everything would be okay.
Let me say also that I know that I know, without God in my life I would not have survived Ryan's death. God held me when I couldn't think or speak. When I did not want to wake up…

One month ago I moved to New York City. I love it here! This is the place I have been dreaming about coming to since I was 14. I knew that just because I would be living in a different place, didnt mean that all my emotional problems would go away. I just didnt expect it to sneak up on me so soon. My mom has been dead for 3 years now, I did 18 months of therapy up till I left California, and I seriously thought I was in a better place. I still think I am in a better place, but different…

I have never made a blog before so I am not sure what to do, but it seems that I am doing a lot of "first things" lately. My head still feels foggy and I still feel a sense of disbelief about my Baby Sister. She was only 35 years old and has 13 year old twin girls. My family is so torn and hurt so much. It feels like there is a big hole in my heart now. I just want this pain to stop. My baby Sister started experimenting with drugs when she was very young. We have tried to help her so many times…

I hate the days where i cant move or think. I plan on doing all these things and wake up, just to find myself numb. I think something has happened to my mind. I have to talk to him somehow. I have to know what killed him. He died in his sleep on his little boys 2cd birthday. All i know is he coughed at 8 am and was dead at 9 am. I have to know. I want him to tell me.

My son died November 28, 2009. He was 37, and a diabetic. He has a daughter 10. Both were so important to me. His wife won't let me see my grandaughter or talk to her... she won't even answer the phone. So this means my grandaughter and I are suffering and grieving two losses.
This past week I had a very rough day, I wanted to talk to my son so badly....so badly it was overpowering. All I could do was cry, sit with my mouth open with tears running down my face, weeping from the soul.…

I lost my dad on December 11th very unexpectedly to a massive heart attack. He was my heart. He came to visit me in my new home on the 10th and on the 11th we did some shopping and I bough him lunch. He had complained of a pulled musle or perhaps a broken rib but didn't want to go to the doctor because he didn't feel it was bad enough but would go if the pain got worse. After lunch he wanted a nap, when he was getting ready to nap I noticed his color was off and I told him that he would just…

I put Nicki down the day before christmas eve. Nicki was Grama's dog, her gift to me to remember her by. But Grama is still living and Nicki isnt. Grama is an adult and capable of understanding the decision to put down the 13 year old dog, but I keep being told not to tell her, that it'll just cause undue stress. Grama herself is displaying many of the same end of life traits that poor NIcki displayed. The weight loss, the loss of hearing and sight, the confusion, the loss of appetite and…
